Storytime with Chloe

Alex was getting upset, so Chloe decided to go get a book and read him a story.

Chloe gets a pet

Monday night Chloe welcomed a new member to the family - a pet fish. Her name is Goldie Fish (although when Chloe calls her name it sounds more like Gold-a-Feesh). As you can see, she welcomed Goldie Fish with a big hug and a kiss. Later, when she got some pizza in a cut in her finger and required a band-aid, Chloe had to say, "Look, Gold-a-Feesh. I godda band-aid." Goldie Fish seemed very impressed.

Cruisin'

Alex got a new car for his birthday...(he loves cruisin' and waving at all the pretty girls). He got his immunizations on Wednesday. The vaccine for chicken pox actually give him the chicken pox and he has little red bumps all over his belly and back right now. Although he doesn't feel that great, he is still managing to have a good time and enjoy his new ride!

More from the first birthday party

Here's some video from Alex's first birthday party...

Alex has an early birthday party

Little man had an early first birthday party this weekend while visiting his grandparents in Arkansas. You've heard the old saying that someone was covered head-to-toe. As you can see from the picture below, it's more than a saying for Alex. He had a good time. Chloe kept wanting to look at the birthday pictures later and, when she saw this one, she said, "Look. Baby fall down in the cake."

Chloe had a good time, too. As you see here, she got a new pair of sunglasses and an ice-cream-cone-shaped bubble container (which she licked on just to make sure it wasn't real).

Dad needs a hobby

This is the kind of thing that happens when Dad is stuck at home and the family's been gone for a month. Way too much time on his hands.
