Happy 5 months Chloe Nell

I can't believe Chloe is 5 months old!!! Where does time go! Everyday is a first for little Miss Chloe! Every time I hold her I know that she won't be this little much longer. Chloe is a big girl too! So far she is climbing in height and weight. I am so amazed that she is mine!

She has done so many new things this month. For starters she is obsessed with rolling over. She had rolled over once her twice a couple a months ago, but I think it was a mere accident. Now however she knows what she is doing and loves to do it. Sometimes at night I have to go and move her in her crib because she has rolled around so much she looks so uncomfortable.

We also started giving her baby food this month. She loves squash, sweet potatoes and sweet peas. However, she has also learned how to spit her food and make funny little sounds. Chloe is always smiling and every time we take her places people always comment on her big smile. However this month she has really started laughing out loud at people and funny things.

She loves her feet especially sucking on them. She is working on sitting up and loves her high chair.

Since she is so big by the end of this month she will probably be in her convertable car seat. Her little feet are starting to hang out of her baby car seat.

Everyday I find my self amazing and a little sad. I love watching her grow big and strong, but a part of me misses my new born. I can remember wishing she would sleep through the night and feeling tied down to nursing her, but I actually miss those days.

Chloe has become her Daddy's little princess and her Mommy's pride and joy!
Life is Good!

Pool Time

After many problems this year with our pool we have really put off putting Chloe in it. For starters we had to switch chemicals then the rain has been non stop. The water temperature wasn't all that warm and from our beach experience we knew Chloe might not like the water.

It was really hot this weekend and believe it our not it didn't rain. Seems like a first! Chloe really enjoyed the water this time. Ricky put her in her float which she enjoyed and then he held her as well.

It has been almost 5 weeks since our beach trip and her not liking the water, but I guess since she is a little older it helped. Check out the video of Chloe in her boat. She isn't being fussy or screaming because she is mad. This is her new talking. She loves to talk and I guess she really liked the pool and was telling us all about it!

Ricky and I are huge fans of camping! I know that might sounds shocking to those of you that know me, but yes I actually do love to camp. We used to tent camp, but after getting tired of lugging around tons of gear we decided to purchase a Coleman fold out camper aka a pop up! It has been a great investment. We have had numerous outings and made tons a neat family memories.

For my birthday this year we decided to go to Deep Creek, which is in Bryson City North Carolina. Deep Creek is a great family park. You can rent tubes and float down the creek. My mother used to come to the park when she was a child. In fact it was her family's yearly vacation spot in the mountains (all Floridians vacation to the mountains, lol). Ricky and I have been coming to the park since we were in college and we love it.

This time we got the perfect camp spot. My parents and brother and his family came with us. My dad hates tent camping and since the camper was packed with Ricky, Chloe and myself, along with my Mom, Emalee, Sophie and Kami he decided to sleep in the back of his station wagon. Justin, Hollie and Kaylee slept in out big tent.

This was Chloe's first night in the woods. I wasn't all that worried because she is a creature of habit with her schedule. I knew basically when she would eat and sleep. I just needed to make sure the bugs didn't bite her.

While we all went tubing. Papa (my dad) kept her and lucky for him she took a nice long 2 hour nap.

We had a blast and look forward to doing it again.
