Chloe Chronicles

Chloe celebrated her 5 month birthday by deciding she no longer needs us to hold the bottle for her at all. Before she would push our hands out of the way but we would still hold the end of the bottle so it wouldn't fall out of her hands, but she took the weight of it all by herself. She still needs us to tip it up for her though because she doesn't understand that it needs to be tipped back for the milk to go in her mouth. In these pictures she was sucking half air half milk, so we subtly tip it for her. She thinks she's doing it all by herself though and we let her think that because she's an independent woman. I have bad news. Sadly, the love hate relationship with Gracie has swung to hate. They had a spat over something and I just happened to be taking a picture of her as it happened. You can't tell from the picture, but she touched Gracie's nose so I went to take a picture because I thought they were getting along, but then Chloe wound her hand back dow...

Chloe had her shots today and once again the room was filled with crying boys but not CoCo! She cried when they stuck the needle in but then 5 seconds later she was fine and looking around like "that was nothing lady, let's do it again!" Marc says that she said "give me the biggest needle you got!" After the shot they weighed her and she peed everywhere (twice) and then puked up most of her oral vaccine, it was her way of saying "so long suckers" on our way out. Then Mom and Dad got ice-cream and ate it on her behalf since she did so well at her shots. We set up her activity bouncer that I got at my baby shower and Chloe LOVES it. Her feet don't touch the ground too well, but she is able to bounce herself in it a bit and she smiles/giggles as she does it. The seat pivots in a full circle, right now we pivot her but eventually she'll be strong enough to pivot herself.  When we give her a bottle she tries to push our hands out of the way...
