Chloe, I love watching the wonder in her eyes and she discovers and explores the world around her!

This week has been pretty rough for the three of us. Chloe had a molar or two coming in and also had a slight fever and cold on top of that. We've given her lots of fruit and fresh squeezed orange juice and she's been nursing as much as she wants to, which has all helped tremendously since she seems to be back to her happy, stubborn, wild self, thank goodness!

Chloe, my beautiful little sleeping beauty. Every time I put her down for a nap or bedtime she grabs all of her " babies " and brings them into bed with her. I remember how much I loved my stuffed animals when I was a young child, so seeing this in Chloe just completely melts my heart! There are no words to describe the feeling that comes over me when I notice little bits of myself in my daughter, it is truly humbling and never ceases to amaze me.

On A Warm Winter Day

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the park, just the two of us, playing, and laughing, and exploring Mother earth. We took a long walk around our neighborhood, stopping to say hi to the squirrels, and dogs, or as Chloe likes to call them " Ozzeees ".  It started to thunder and rain as soon as we got home from our adventure outside. I changed us both into some warmer clothes and nursed Chloe to sleep in our bed. Everything felt so quite and peaceful as I closed my eyes and listed to the sound of the rain. It's been so difficult being cooped up inside with a little one all winter long, but getting the chance to play outside yesterday was just what we needed!

Chloe, a moment of pure sweetest while waiting for our food to arrive, this little girl loves her Daddy!

On another note, this was the first time in quite awhile that we decided to go out to dinner at a restaurant. Chloe normally has always done really well at restaurants but this time she was not having it. She had no interest in sitting down and eating her food, instead she wanted to run around and explore. Life with a toddler can be pretty hectic at times I'm not going to lie!

Chloe, this little girl of mine is such a lover of the water. She splashes, and swims, and blows bubbles, and is just simply as happy as can be! I cant wait for those long summer days spent at the beach together, Chloe is going to have so much fun swimming in the cool water.
