8 weeks

Just a quick little update.  Chloe is 8 weeks old!  I cannot believe how quickly time is going by.  She is doing really well at holding her head up on her own while you are holding her and she does like to be held!!  I think she is following a similar path as Preston with all of their achievements/milestones occurring.  She is so smiley now - I love it!  She likes to talk and coo at you and makes really sweet faces.  AJ said the other night he had her give a little giggle, but that is far and few between so far. 
She seems to be changing physically almost daily as well.  Her little face is getting to be chubby; chubby, little, round cheeks - just like her momma had, poor girl!  Her hair is still crazy, but I think some on the side is starting to lay down.  I'm not sure what she'll look like when it all lays down.  I constantly have people tell me that they love her crazy hair - in fact I think 3 or 4 people told me that on Sunday at church.
There are several things I always tell myself that I want to update on Preston, but I can never remember when I actually sit down to do this, so here is the rundown I can think of now:
  • Potty training is going pretty well.  He understands what to do, but most of the time he is too busy playing to want to stop and go potty.
  • I think he is getting his 2 year molars - he has been slobbering a ton, like constant stream slobbering and he has been a little crabby lately.
  • He continues to gain with his vocabulary, surprising all the time with different words he knows and word associations.
  • He is getting really good at naming colors and counting.
  • We have a leapfrog video that teaches letters and their sounds and I am pretty sure he almost has that video memorized, plus he is definitely learning his phonics!!
Ok, I think that is most of it.  AJ and I both start back to work on Monday, so tomorrow we are dropping the kiddos off at Jennie's (daycare) and going down to the outlet malls to shop for some clothes.  This weekend is my 10 year reunion so we are heading up to StL tomorrow afternoon!  I am pretty excited to see everyone I haven't seen since graduation, however this will be the first time I leave Chloe with anyone besides AJ for only about an hour.  Good practice for Monday I guess!
That is all for now, not as quick as I thought it would be!  I'll be back soon, as Chloe will be 2 months old in 3 days! 

Preston loves the guitar "na na na naaa"

This is what we've seen walking around the house the past week during potty training!!

Too many cute ones to choose from now that she is smiling!


Thought she might cry....

This was like 2 seconds later...
