Cake Time

This was taken, almost to the minute, a year after she was born. She did seem to enjoy the apple cinnamon cake I made her. Just not in this picture. Mom and Jason are holding down her hands so she doesn't burn herself on the candle.

If anything it was fun for her to make a mess.

Party Girl

On Sunday we had a party for Chloe's first Birthday. She had a great time once she got used to a bunch of people in her space. She danced, ate, opened a lot of great gifts, and danced some more. She would not nap and once everyone left and I was feeding her here supper she fell asleep mid bight. She has fallen a sleep in her high-chair before but just never while actually eating.

Jack Frost Festival

Chloe & Pooh Bear

Chloe & Dora


The weekend of the jack Frost Festival it was VERY cold. We weren't able to do a lot of the stuff I hopes we could. The highlight for Chloe was meeting two of her favorite characters.

The Birthday Party Girl

Last Saturday Chloe and I went to two Birthdays Parties. One for a 4 year old girl and one for a her 70 year old Great Grampy. She had a great time at Holly's party with all the other kids. It was her first official friends birthday party. All other parties had adults only.

Here is Chloe with her second cousins Robin and Jennifer.
And here is her Great Grampy Beat and his Birthday cake.

And this is one of my new favorite pics of Chloe and Jason.
They were just cuddling and watching TV.

Snow Day

This was one of the first days this winter that we could take her out to play in the snow. It always seemed that it would melt to fast for us to go and play or it was just to cold. Today was just right. This was taken in our back yard.

These images have not been altered in anyway!
(except red-eye reduction)

She started doing this after Christmas and I was never able to get a picture of it because I was the one behind her to make sure she didn't fall. Jason is out of frame beside her in case of any accidents. This girl has no fear! Tonight was the first time that she stood up without holding the handles. We have to keep a close eye on this little monkey.

Peek-A-Boo Chloe

I took these this morning once I changed her bum and I was looking for an outfit to wear on her for the day. I set her in the crib and she had the best time playing peek-a-boo with her blank-e.

The Artist

Here is some of Chloe's first artwork. I think is shows a lot of promise.

Baby Baby

Dance'n Queen

A live performance is way better then just the pics.
For those who can't witness the real thing, enjoy.

Happy 10 Month Birthday

Billy Bob got noth'n on me!

Are you sure this is oatmeal?

Hey Kiddies! Don't drink and drive. It's just not worth it.

Great Nanny & Grampy Beat stopped in for a visit.

A bunch of my friends form high school came to see us over the break. Jo, Muenie, Katinda, Margo, and Sobia. One of the highlights was getting to meet Katinda's lil' girl Kaya. She is so cute and funny. Soon after this pic was taken she said. " Want to see something funny? I can put my foot in my mouth" .. good stuff.

Christmas Day....

Christmas morning and Miss Chloe slept until 9:00. Then she has her breakfast and we began the 3 hr process of opening gifts. Jason's Grandmother Mae was down from Summerside and my Mom and Dad came in first thing and spent the day. I think Chloe found gift opening to be some strange form of torture. She would open a toy and just be getting used to it and we would take it away and make her open something else.

After her lunch she had her Christmas nap.

And she had her first Christmas dinner. Sweet potatoes, squash, apple sauce and turkey. Her very first meat. Seconds after this picture was taken she threw up . She may be vegetarian like her Aunt Mandy.

Here we are post gifts and turkey.

And Dad and his lil'girl... Merry Christmas

Pre-Christmas Stuff

I know it's been a while since I have posted anything. I think it's because I have been taking so many pictures and eating so much. But the time has come to release all the great pics of our girl Chloe during her first Christmas.

This is Chloe seeing Santa for the first time at the Confederation Court Mall. She didn't cry or smile for that matter, she was just sorta in awe.

Chloe's Cousin Jacob is seeing just how sweet Chloe really is. This was taken at Jason's Family Christmas party.

This is Chloe and her second cousin Jacob. Jacob is exactly a month older then Chloe. He is very cute and a pro at crawling. He moves faster then some people walk. I think he may have taught Chloe to clap too. She would always clap with her fists closed.. and since seeing Jacob she's been clap'n up a storm.



The week before Christmas we went to Fredericton to see my family. She opened a bunch of gifts and one of her favorites was the bag it came in.

This is Chloe in her style'n leopard print shirt that her Nanny got her.

Her great uncle Blaine is telling her that he can't wait until summer so that he can chuck her in a pond at Rainbow Valley like he did to her Mum when she was her age. He said it was an "accident".

And here is the Chlo-bear and her Aunt Jody. I think she shops more for Chloe then anyone I know. Thank God for good deals state side.

Holiday Greetings

Look Ma, No Hands...

It's Official, As of December 5th we have a walk'n baby. This is moments after her first steps. By the time we got the video camera out she was done for the night. So far her record amount of consecutive steps are 14.

Nanny and Chloe are ready for Christmas any time now

Are these apples that make the yummy apple sauce..?

This is the snazzy new outfit that Grampy pick out for Chloe all by himself. Good Job Grampy.

Standing Ovation

For almost a month or so now she has been standing on her own. She now stands for as long and she wants to or until she wants to go some where .. then she crawls! Soon.. it'll happen soon.

This was just taken first thing one morning. She is normally in better humor then I am first thing in the morning.

This one was just cute because she has the two flips of hair going... so stylish.
