Hello Spring!

Well, we have had a few gorgeous days in a row here. It has been 4 months since my last post and I had wanted to post every day. About a month after the last post, Chlöe and I moved to Portland, OR. Between the chaos of moving, and just of our lives in general, I wasn't really settled until maybe late January or so. February was a wonderful month, and we are settling in to our new home and new city.

Here are a few pics we have taken recently. I can't promise that I will be posting very regularly again anytime soon, as life is very busy with full time work and a busy growing girl.



Lately, she is really enjoying wooden puzzles a lot. I have bought a ton lately, and she stays busy with them.


We had a lovely Valentine's day and I found this jacket with hearts on it, in her closet, so she was dressed for the occasion.




She still really loves running around the house, pulling her snail behind her.




And of course, trying to ride the school bus.




She's been having a lot of fun going around shutting all of the doors, too.




She had a lot of fun pointing looking out at the snow we had recently.




And always loves her pony.


She LOVES the mirror and we play a lot of games with it.




Hope everyone had a great winter and is getting ready for spring!

Mishka Had a Little Lamb, Little Lamb, Little Lamb...

This was going to be part of Chlöe's Halloween costume, but she wouldn't wear it and I had to turn her into a cat instead. It's her warm winter hat, so I am glad she finally is giving it a try!

Fall Bright Colors

I love bright colors on Chlöe. She's such a sweet and happy baby that bright colors seem to match her personality. Here's her today before school. She was pointing at the birds again and signing bird.

Finally Fall

It's been pretty warm lately, but is finally starting to cool off. While the weather has been nice, I already put away most of the summer clothes, and they were getting small anyway. I'm glad to finally get some fall weather and be able to break out some sweaters etc. I love this sweet outfit. The pants are lined and padded for warmth.

Pumpkin Patch

Last week, Chlöe and I went to a couple of pumpkin patches. I didn't get a lot of pictures at the first one as they didn't have any pumpkins. They actually told me they RAN out!

The second one, we weren't at very long, just long enough to snap a few pictures. Chlöe wasn't feeling great and we were just going to get a few groceries, so we pit stopped there on our way.

It was still fun at both though. They both had farm animals and lots of other fun stuff.

In the second to last picture, a flock of geese had just flown over and Chlöe is signing bird in American Sign Language.

Happy Halloween

Chlöe had SO much fun at her school's Fall Festival on Halloween. She was going to be a lamb, but wouldn't wear her costume, which was only a lamb hat. So I pulled this cat outfit together.

Her favorite part of the Fall Festival was the Bean Bag Toss.
