On Valentine's Weekend, my family was in town. John also had his sisters from Austin and one from Ohio here. So, with everyone in town, we decided to host a Valentine's Brunch with Chloe as the STAR!


Also, we have made it quite the ritual to have music time right before her bath. Chloe-Jean loves to dance, play, and eat her instruments. It is a cherished time, as she has reserved 7pm to show us all her tricks. The first time she stood up holding on to something was during music time. Her first few steps were during music time. Most recently, she decided that she can stand up without the assistance of an object or another person. All during music time. So, here are a few pictures.

We went to the doctor for Chloe's nine month appointment. Here are the stats:
* 16 lbs 3 oz (25%)
* 29 1/2 inches (75%)
* Her head circumference is in the 70th percentile
* The doctor was impressed with her reflexes and her ability to move around. She had no problem showing off her walking moves.
* We got the go ahead to start true table food. Chloe will have spaghetti tonight for dinner. She is growing up!

Happy Nine Months, Chloe-Jean!

Yesterday, Chloe-Jean turned 9 months old. We had a celebration lunch at Grandma Pedrotti's House. Chloe-Jean dined on Chicken, Pasta, and Peas. You may be thinking that we are talking Gerber here, but no...She is eating real food now. I can't believe how big she is getting. We are going to the doctor on Wednesday, so the stats will come then. But, here are some fun video clips of her walking around the furniture. She is hardly holding on to anything as she walks. Yesterday, she took 10 steps. She will be walking in NO TIME!! I can't believe it!

Hair

Chloe-Jean has so much HAIR!!! I bet you couldn't guess. She has had 2 hair cuts, but I want it to grow out. When her hair is wet, the back reaches half way down her back! It is at such a weird stage. It's too long to leave down, but curly. So, I finally gave in and started "doing" her hair. It is amazing how difficult it is to do an 8 month old's hair. I figured cute bows would make it work while!


In this picture she looks really big, but she is still in 3-6 month clothes....Very petite!
