Busy!

I know what you are thinking. Why doesn't she write??? My answer to you....I'm busy with a capital B. Chloe no longer quietly lays on the floor for Tummy Time on her col animal themed Tummy Time Mat. First she started rolling to where she wanted to go but I could still write. Then she started scooting but I could still write. When she started crawling that was what really bit into my computer time. Now that she has begun walking (and running!) she wants to run around. Which means I have to run after her. I have to find out what the noise is...or find out why she is so quiet! That's when I know she's getting into trouble. Gone are the sweet days of me having a few minutes to cruise the web, write about how wonderful Chloe is, and have any free time.

I knew this would happen when I was pregnant. Even then, she was never a calm baby. I felt her kick before most people would believe I should be able to feel her and once that started, it never stopped. She is a busy, busy person. Which means I am a busy, busy person. I know you are thinking, "why is it that you have time to write this?" Well, my sweet Chloe has been a bit sick lately which means she is napping a bit more and she just feel asleep on my lap while I was in front of the computer. I thought I'd better take these few minutes to write and let you know I haven't forgotten you, I'm not ignoring you, but I just don't have time to write these days.

de, de, DEEE!

Kristie came to visit me at work the other day with Chloe. We went and got an Italian soda at Thomas Hammer. On the way back, Kristie and I were walking with Chloe and she was holding one hand of each of ours. We started picking her up and swinging her forward, and Kristie was counting "one, two, threeee" when we would swing her. It didn't take Chloe too long to figure that out, and before we went one block, she started counting "de, de, DEEE!" and then Kristie and I would swing her. It was adorable. She was so into it! It was also great to for her to be able to communicate with us a little more and for us to be able encourage that.
