Say what?
I was at the grocery store with Chloe today and they were sampling cantelope and our little savory queen actually ate some. . so I had to snap a picture to send to Craig. Who would believe it?

Happy Fathers Day!
It was a beautiful day here today so Craig got to have a sunny Father's day. Chloe and I went to Ella's 5th birthday party while Craig enjoyed a little father time by himself. He used the time to sand our patio furniture - go figure. Then we went to the park and then to Maya, Rich & Bea's for a BBQ.
Here are some pictures of Chloe and Bea when Bea came over by herself for a babysitting/play date. Hopefully we'll get some video up soon of how the play date ended -- with both of the girls splashing in the tub. Chloe absolutely adores Bea and the only way we can get her to brush her teeth at night is to ask her if she wants to brush like Bea. This, of course, is quite humorous to Bea's mom Maya, as Bea will hardly ever let them brush her teeth!
And another shot of the little bean with her favorite 4 legged friend. Note the leg warmers. . the girl like to accesorize. She still asks for her mittens sometimes at school, and in spite of having a sun hat, is often spotted in her warm fleece hat during her walks at school too.
The theme of the party was polka dots so Chloe was lucky. She not only loves polka dots (which she calls 'balls') but dogs -- so she was able to wear her PJ top with both "balls" and a dog. Now only if it were yellow (her favorite color), she would have been in heaven.
Chloe has recently become very interested in barettes, and now has the longest hair in the house so she had her first pony tail, which she really liked.

Words, words, words
Chloe turned 20 months this week and she also started stringing together words in a more obvious way. She has said things like "mama walk" and other directions to us but this week it seemed to take a leap forward.
One of Chloe's favorite songs is "The Wheels on the Bus". We sing it many, many times a day. When I got tired of singing it in the car recently, I looked on one of our children's songs CDs and found it. Now we listen to it continually whenever we are in the car. The fun part is when the verse about the driver saying "Move on Back". Until this week, Chloe just said "Moomoo" for move. Now she is saying "Moomoo" big pause "on back". So cute.
As our little bean is a carb lover like no other, we've started giving her more fruit at the beginning of her meals in the hope she'll widen her variety. This morning Craig served her waffles and apples. She picked up the apple and said "Dada eat it".
It's interesting too that she has started transitioning from saying "Mama" and "Dada" to "Mommy" and "Daddy". I had wanted to her call me "Mommy", but now I'm started to miss the "Mama"

Memorial Day Weekend
The weekend is not over yet, but we've had a ton of fun. Friday night Craig and I had a date night and we had the sitter (one of Chloe's teachers) come early so we could go to a movie and dinner. What a nice treat. We went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall and then out for Sushi.
Saturday was unexpectedly nice and warm. We went to a BBQ over at our friends Mark & Lizas house. Craig rode there with Chloe and her friend Bea in the burley. I think we'll get a lot more bike rides in this year. Chloe wore her new, very cute outfit from her Grandma along with her new Toms Shoes.
Sunday we went to our friends Maya and Rich's for a BBQ. Here are some pics of the girls and us. . . it is so funny that all the girls have the same color curly hair as all their moms have dark dark brown hair.

Bea, Chloe and Franny (getting this picture was like herding cats!)

Parties
Chloe went to her first Pump it Up Party. What fun. . she loved going down the big slide and bouncing all around. . .we'll probably have her 3rd birthday party there.
Our friends Liza, Mark and Franny came over for brunch a few weeks ago. Liza read the Elmo "if you are happy and you know it book" to the girls. Since then, Chloe has loved singing that song. My favorite line is "If you are beautiful and you know it shout hooray". . Chloe just says Hooray in the cutest way.
It was wonderfully hot here the latter part of last week and last weekend. . so Chloe got to break out some of her summer wear. We were a little concerned as she previously hated wearing short sleeves, but she didn't seem to mind. It may also be because she had a fever. Hand, Foot and Mouth disease was spreading through her class like wild fire. Luckily, Chloe only ended up getting bumps on her arms and legs and never seemed to bothered by it. Our yard has officially turned into kiddieland. We have this wonderful playhouse given to us by one of our neighbors, and we also found this cool slide set on Craigslist. Next up is filling up the sandbox we got from our neighbors as well and then some sort of water toy and we'll be set!
Other than that, Chloe continues to amuse us. She is really into her 'blankie with balls' which is a purple polka dot blanket. She also loves this doll that my Aunt Arlene gave her. Craig helped Chloe name the doll Emma, and now Emma goes with Chloe to bed at night and to school in the morning.
