silly girl

chloe's newest obsession: zippers, putting on her clothes by herself including her shoes. outside is still her favorite place.

foots and hats

so, i broke my foot. on dave's birthday. the day the fireplace was installed. crap. i'm on crutches and trying to be a teacher and hobble up and down the stairs at home. it's insane. i was carrying chloe down the stairs and either missed or slipped on the last 2 steps. it all happened so fast that i didn't even know what was happening until i was on my ass. thankfully, chloe was fine; a little shook up and spooked about going down the stairs for a couple of days, but not a scratch. dave is being a saint and taking care of me very well. the swelling has gone down considerably since this photo, but it's still sore and has now entered the black & blue phase of healing. i've also been busy making hats. if you or anyone wants one they are $20 each or 2 for $35. They are made out of a yummy acrylic yarn that is super warm and is machine washable/dryable.

On to the good stuff...chloe is still hilarious and sweet. trying to talk and is quite good at pointing out things in her books if you ask her "where is the ....?" she can almost say "snake", sounds more like "nnnaaaaaaeeee". she also likes to roar like a lion and hoo hoo like an owl. super cute. more and more personality every day comes through. she loves her shoes and especially likes to wear her red boots that are 2 sizes too big...i call her frankenstein when she wears them because she's so clompy! she also had her first outing with daddy, grandpa stan, and grandma kerry to the park last weekend while i stayed home and crutched around. she loves the curly slide and the bouncy boats of course and prefers to walk there, but ride home. smart girl.
