6 Months

Dear Chloe,

It's time you got to know the true nature of your Mom. I'm a slacker. It's only because of the thrill of finally having you here and the newness of you that I've been pretty "with-it" at taking your monthly picture. It's also due in large part to your Aunt Malissa. Here is your "6 month old" picture. You are acutally 6 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days old. So technically it's 6 months, but just barely. I guess it's not too bad. Ask your Aunt Cathie some time about having baby pictures.


Love,
Your Mom


Oh, yes. You sit up now. I'd like to point out the fortress of pillows set up for your protection. Just because I don't take pictures on time doesn't mean I don't love you. It means this was May, and Mama is a teacher. Not good timing.


We are so happy for you, achieving your life-long dream of being able to sit upright all by yourself. You've been trying to do it yourself and insisting that we hold you sitting up since you were born. Really, even in the hospital you were trying. Congratulations!

Here you are, laughing at something silly Daddy is doing. He makes you laugh all the time. You have a very sweet little squeal that you do just for him.


And here is your close-up. Not a fan of the flash on the camera today. But cute as ever! Thanks, Kimmy, for the very cute outfit!
