Here is Chloe in my baby outfits that my mom had me in when I was about three months old. So my little Chloe is even fatter than I. She is only two months and the outfits fit pretty good.
A little update on Chloe-
She has been a pretty good baby since
initiating the bottle at 4-5 weeks. No more of the hysterical crying after a feeding. (and less hysterical crying for momma too!) We assumed that it was reflux because lets face it, all the breastfeeding books say "your baby will get what they need breastfeeding"! Well, not my Chloe. She was such a sleepy eater, our meals went a little bit like...suck, fall asleep, gag and choke, attempt to burp it out, become pissed off, and start over. This took 45 minutes to an hour and she would still cry for at least 15 minutes after that! SOOO Halloween weekend, after a terrible trip to the pumpkin patch, I had enough and she got a bottle. For us this was a life saver and my unhappy little girl became content for the first time. The "sigh" she gave after her first bottle feeding was all I needed to help me make that decision.
She has been doing so well since 5 weeks old. We began cooing quietly with a loud "coo" every now and then. She loves to talk when getting her diaper changed. After all, the bathroom with the vent on is her favorite place to be in the house. The white noise of the vent would calm her down almost instantaneously.
This week we found our hands and tummy time has become so unproductive because it puts her in the optimal position to suck on them without having to reach very far! She nearly puts herself to sleep on her tummy now and gives a flip about rolling our lifting her head. :).
Since Halloween, she also has been sleeping through the night going down anywhere from 8 to 10 and sleeping till 5-7 nearly every night.
She also loves her baths with her daddy but HATES getting her clothes changed!
SOOOO, I haven't posted in awhile, but her is a quick pick of me and "Grandpa" hanging curtains for the babies room. Her name is set for Chloe Virgina Brandt. Ryan and I are very excited and eager to meet her this September/October. My belly is growing rapidly and you can see her moving all the time, like she is doing some kind of kickboxing in my belly! I will post later, but wanted to get a good jump start from December's post!
The top picture was at a Bar/Restaurant in our hotel call Rumjungle. Above us is a cage for a half dressed go-go dance!
Here is a picture at the bar drinking champagne with our stylish accessories!
Here is Ryan attacking dad!
Tervor being Brave!
Here below is Ryan and I on the boat during our fishing trip! What we caught: Tuna, Bonita, Baracuda, and Needle Fish.

Here is a picture of our hotel! Beautiful weather and water!
Kelli, Trevor and I went out to try some new setting on my camera. I thought a field of blue bonnets and of course Major were appropriate. They took great pictures and were very cooperative with some of my trial ideas! Thanks!
