almost summer!

can't believe that it's already june! thinking back to last year when i was just halfway done with the pregnancy to how much has happened is astounding. i certainly do not miss being pregnant! chloe is doing great. she is working on getting her top teeth as her bottom two chicklets continue to come in more and more. she's hilarious and fantastic. starting to free stand while holding toys in both hands. she hasn't quite figured out the walking thing yet, but it's not long now. her favorite things to do right now is sing and babble. "bob" is still a very popular word, but "hi" and "hello" are not far behind. she's getting into looking at books and turning the pages. she likes "brown bear, brown bear, what do you see" and a "touch and feel" book. she still loves to harass the cats. lois actually got so tired of being screeched at that she bit chloe. it certainly took chloe by surprise...but it hasn't sunk in yet that she needs to be gentle...although we're working on it. she likes to go for walks in the stroller and actually fell asleep with her head on the tray last weekend....she was completely folded in half. i tried to sneak in the house to get a picture, but she woke up before i could get the camera.  she also likes to sit on the driveway in the evening and watch the cars drive by and gets super excited when kids coming from the park with their moms and dada stop and say hi. also this month, she gets to sit in the shopping cart now that we're not using the infant carseat anymore. that's been a new experience that she totally loves....and as i'm sure you can guess, she gets LOTS of attention from complete strangers...must be because she's sooooo cute! i'm her mom...i can brag, right? thankfully, i only have a few more days of school left and then the entire summer is ours. i will be moving my classroom as i got a new job teaching at saratoga high school next year. it's been a tough decision to leave lincoln after 9 years there, but i just can't pass up the $$ they're willing to pay me for the same job i'm doing now. am a little nervous and excited...so we'll see. BUT....am sooo looking forward to hanging out with chloe all day, every day and getting to do some fun day trips with her to the beach, the pool, and maybe to happy hollow with cousin sydney.
