Swing Time

We have been sweating our butts off here in Norfolk. It has been in the 90's since Friday. We decided to head over to the shady park and make our own breeze on the swings.

Take me to your leader

I accidently left one of the kitchens cabinets un-safety-locked!  All I have to say is, she most definitely gets it from Chad.

Chloe's First Friend

That cute, little red-head you keep seeing in our photos is AJ Moore. His Dad, Tony, went to the Naval Academy with Chad and they were great friends during flight school. As Navy life goes, we moved, he moved, and years later, we are now in Norfolk together. We finally got in touch again and we all became great friends. I love love AJ's Mommy, Susan, who is also from Long Island. I have a thing for New Yorkers! AJ is a bit older than Chloe, he is 20 months, but she keeps up with him. She lights up when we have play-dates. She loves chasing him, tackling him, and stealing his juice cup!

Zing! Zang! Zoom!

Susan, Tony and AJ invited us to go to the circus with them on Saturday and of course we said yes! We saw the Ringling Brothers show Zing! Zang! Zoom! I knew Chloe was a bit young to understand it, but I figured she would at least enjoy an afternoon out. Here is a photo of us as the show is starting.

Our View

After about 10 mins of sitting still and watching the show, Chloe got a terrible case of ants in my pants.  While in my lap the rest of the 2.5 hour show went like this...

Sit on my lap, Stand on my lap, sit, stand, sit, stand, sit, stand, sit, stand, jump, jump, jump, sit, stand, sit, stand........  Lesson learned!  Here are some photos that Susan and Tony took.  I didn't have time to take any as I was trying to contain my child!

For Grandpa

My father and Chad were both trying to teach her to go "AHHHHHhhhh" after taking a drink. She finally got it and does it quite often now.  I finally got a video of it.

Chloe & Chloe

Chloe hasn't taken much interest in dolls until today.  She picked up her Chloe doll for the first time.  She walked around holding her, sat with her, and then gave her a ride in her shopping cart!  Her cousins, Madison and Reagan, gave her that Chloe doll for Christmas. How cute!
