Chloe has been standing by herself for about a week now. I knew it was only a matter of time before she started taking steps by herself, too. Today, I had a cup with a straw in it (which Chloe LOOOVES to play with). I set it down beside me. She was already standing up playing with something and all of the sudden took off after the cup. I don’t know why she can’t be normal and take one step and fall on her butt, but she took about 5 steps, grabbed the cup, and sat down.
I also have been taking her pacifier away during the day trying to break her of it. I say “bubye binky” and throw it in the crib. When she sees it now she starts yelling “BUBUBUBUBU”. I guess saying “bubye” has made her think that is what it’s called. She is such a silly girl and growing so fast.
Oh, and with the NEW BABY… we are having another girl. We are keeping her name a secret, but we do have one picked out. I am still dealing a lot with the severe morning sickness. I still have only gained one pound from the pregnancy and I am 18 1/2 weeks along. Thankfully, I have been feeling her kicking/punching/wiggling a lot so that reassures me that at least she is OK even if I don’t feel Ok. I am so blessed to have two sweet girls to love on, and a great husband to love on that I will be celebrating 3 years of marriage together. 😀

She's growing up so fast! I guess it's a good thing she wants to get ahead of the game because that will make Baby #2 so much easier, and you won't feel like you are "forcing" her to grow up since she's doing it on her own. I'm so proud of my sister!

🙂 Thanks sister. It is sad to watch her grow up so quickly, but I know that it is going to make things so much easier once baby girl arrives. Chloe was walking around quite a bit today. She only takes a couple of steps at a time, but she sure was trying today! 🙂
