New Year with a new baby

I took this picture of Preston and Chloe and it made me laugh. It also made everyone I showed it to laugh too! I'm going to title it: Dad's Idea of Babysitting. I should learn how to paint and recreate it. It's almost a modern Norman Rockwell, right? Can't you see it hanging on my wall? I love it!

Chloe has been smiling alot lately. Grins but no giggles. We're still waiting on that one. She'll make little noises that I think are laughs but she's never smiling when she does it. Though she has found her voice and she loves to coo and talk to us. I think she has the prettiest little voice and I love the sound of it. I think she is so pretty! Every time I see her I just want to squeeze her and whenever I talk to her I call her Pretty Girl. That and Chubba-lubba. Or Chubby Cheeks.

I love how her eyes are all squinty in this one. She's so cute!!! I took it today and it's already the wall paper on my computer. Her shirt is open because I had just finished changing her diaper and she started smiling at me AND I had the camera right there on my nightstand.

I took this when we got home from her baby blessing on Sunday. Grandma Gaye (my mom) made the dress and the headband. Grandma Foster (Preston's mom) made the little crochet booties that you couldn't see under the dress because it was about three feet long from the waist. I about peed my pants in delight when she smiled for the camera! Especially while she was wearing her pretty dress. And then she kept smiling for it! This one is my favorite!

Our little family. I should have grabbed Charlie and put him in it too. Darn it! Oh well, I'll be sure to get one of those later.
