She found her thumb!!!

Baby girl found her thumb!  Can I tell you how much I love thumb suckers!  They are the best babies because they can sooth them selves.  Carter was a thumb sucker and one of the best babies!

Chole at 4 months:
weight: 13 lbs. 6 oz.
height: 24 in. long
50% for weight
75% for height
25% for head

I just adore this little girl.  She is delicious!  She is everything that is good.  I am so grateful for the joy that she has brought into this house.  She is trying to sit up and getting close to rolling over.  She sleeps through the night and is now sucking her thumb.  I love it!

Bye, Bye rat tail!

My kids always get some sort of rat tail or mullet when they are little babies!  So I finally decided a few weeks ago that it was time to say so long to the rat tail on Chloe.  It was getting really nasty looking.  So she had her first hair cut at 3 1/2 months.  
We will miss you little latino baby!

The first of many school projects

At Foothill Elementary they have this tradition to decorate soda bottle for the fall festival and do a cake walk type thing to get them.  So, the night before, Carter tells me that he wants to do one.  So, at around 9pm we start on some concept.  Well, being that they love Star Wars we decided to make a light saber.  I think it turned out pretty good if I do say so my self.  Carter thought it was pretty awesome!  This gave me a glimpse of thinks to come in many more years of school and school projects and 9pm work sessions where in all reality I end up doing it.

Are you sure I can't do just the 1K?

On September 19, we ran in our first race ever!  Joe did the 6K, I did the 3K and Carter did the 1K.  This race was called Racing Cane.  I really wanted to do the 1K, but you had to be under 12.  So, Joe and I trained to two weeks and went and did it.  Neither one of us were any good, but it was fun to do.  Carter loved doing the race and wants to do more.  I even won a medal for coming in 3rd place for my age group, but that isn't saying much because there were only four people in my age group! LOL!  So know we are signed up to do the Provo half in May, so we'll see how that goes.  I have to say that I am proud of my self for doing it though being that I had had a baby 3 months earlier and done no physical activity in a year!  Way to go us!

Amongst Giants... Literally

Yes, that is Carter and he is on the right team!  He is playing under 8!  He looks like he is going to get eaten alive!  But, he is actually doing alright.  He really likes it and has fun.  His team is called the Green Reptiles!  Scary huh?
