Blessing Day

Kevin blessed Chloe at church today. Her dress was homemade and just about everyone had a part in it: me (of course), my mom, Diana, Amy J, Keri, and Chloe's great-great aunt Marylin. I think that will seem special to Chloe.

We definitely had a full house today for dinner, totalling 21, and it was nice to have family here. Reminds me of home when there are 10 different conversations going at once.

Papa N Granma Birda Visit

The end of December my mom and dad came to visit, and it's taken me a while to get around to posting some pictures, seeing how its been about 3 weeks now.

They came in on the Tuesday after Chloe was born and stayed until Sunday morning. We had fun driving around showing off our new home. We went to different attractions here on post including the PX, commissary, the lake and the aviation museum. The stay seemed short once it was over, but it was nice for them to change plans and come early, just like Chloe did.

2 Weeks Old

Chloe is thriving like a "bad weed" according to Gama Birda (as Claire calls her). She had her two week appointment and everything is going well. She has gained 10 1/2 oz since leaving the hospital, weighing in at 7 lbs 9.5 oz. She still doesn't fit in newborn clothes though, but that's just a matter of time. For now we are rolling up everything so she is not completely swimming in all her outfits.

She is a really good baby. She usually goes 3-4 hours at night between feedings so that means she is usually only waking up 2 times between bedtime and morning, which is really nice, especially since Kevin has to get up at 5:15.
