Chloe is 10 Months Old!

I've been terrible about blogging/journaling lately and need to get this post done before even more months pass! Chloe turned 10 months old over the weekend. She has learned lots of new things!


First off - she WALKS! All over the place. She started taking steps at 9 months and now at 10 months she just takes off and walks all over the house. It still throws me off to see her walking down the hall to me or pushing her sister's baby stroller or grocery cart. Of course she still throws plenty of crawling in throughout the day when she is not in the mood to walk! But she's getting better and better each day with walking and faster as well. In no time at all I know she will be running after me!

We played outside with bubbles the other day and Chloe was in heaven! We had Popsicles afterwards since it was only 110+. Chloe also loved playing in our water table. Now she tries to escape out the doggy door any chance that she can get!





Chloe is still very attached to mom. To the point of crying when I'm not holding her 24/7. It's nice being so loved but also very exhausting trying to do everything with one hand!

The times of day that I can get away with not holding her, Chloe is busy trying to play with her sister. Or as Eliza thinks - trying to torment her older sister. The two sisters are still trying to figure out how to play together! But Chloe adores her big sister and wants to be into and doing everything that she is - even if she's not big enough. Today I caught her climbing onto the couch where Ellie was sitting...


Chloe's favorite words to stay are Dad and Daddy. Occasionally Mommy gets thrown in. But most of the time it's all about Dad - although she doesn't want him to hold her if Mom is around.




Chloe LOVES apples. She will eat an apple whole! One day I caught her chewing on an apple and taking laps around my couch. I wish I had caught it on video. If anyone in our house is eating an apple she will do anything she can to get to that person and then fight until she gets possession of it. And then if she sees a fake apple (we have toy ones) - she will do whatever she can to try and eat it! It's hilarious. Good thing she has lots of teeth so she can enjoy apples already!



She is building up quite the personality and we can tell that she is going to be feisty and opinionated. She's had quite a few sickness scares in the last 6 weeks and had to use the at home breathing treatment machines and also been doing some more teething. So a lot more crying at our house than we're used to! But hopefully we're on the upside of that phase.

Eliza started preschool so Chloe and I have 4 hours each week to ourselves. Today, Chloe celebrated by falling asleep on the floor in our front room. I guess I wasn't exciting enough!
