Chloe is 7 months old...it is going by so very quickly..

Our beautiful baby Pooh is growing so quickly...learning new things everyday..We just can't believe that she is 7 months old already....7 months ago today....we met this perfect little Princess for the 1st time and she has captured our hearts ever since... Chloe is so special and we all love her so much...more & more everyday..

Chloe has the cutest dimples when she grins and laughs...which is really quite often...hehe

And, the Princess is learning to sit up with the help of the Bumbo chair { thank you G'ma Janet } She is STILL teething and most of the day she is sucking on her two fingers { just like her older brother Ethan did...}.... she loves to play and is always looking at the little tags on the toys...hmmm....she is just such a constant joy to everyone...

Pooh meets the Proctors...

Today was such a special day...not only did our little Pooh turn 7 months old...but Grandma & Grandpa Proctor finally got to meet the precious Princess....As you can see...they fell instantly in love with Chloe....Here is Chloe and G'ma Sarah... { she is admiring those tiny little fingers...} Pooh with G'pa Daniel... she had him at the first grin...hehe....
They both really enjoyed playing with the boys a bit as well. It had been over a year since they had seen the boys and G'ma and G'pa came bearing gifts {of course}.. the boys are both all gaga over Trains so there is a little building and some track and 4 new Thomas the Tank trains...{ hehe...thankyou Sarah & Daniel... it was like Christmas !}....

The boys were of course very hesitant at the beginning, but Sarah & Daniel just sat on the floor and started pulling trains out and little by little the boys warmed up and just got down to the buisness of PLAYING...it was so wonderful to see everyone having such a good time...
Thank you so much for the trains and the generous spirits you both have, Gma & Gpa Proctor...Brian & I both hope that today was the beginning...of something wonderful!!

Remember the baby birds??

On our little walk this afternoon, we were able to follow this little guy for a long time...the boys had so much fun watching Mr Squirrels every move .... I couldn't believe I was able to snap a pic....what a cute little guy!

I love watching the boys walk hand in hand....
Hehe, I had Chloe in her little Snugli carrier and snapped one real close up...she's so cute - at any angle...tehe

What a ride...

Well, the day has finally come....no more 3 point harness giant carseat for Ethan, he got the BIG BOY carseat today and he loved it ! He is actually really tired in this picture but he really did love the seat...he seems so much older to me all of the sudden!
This is the view into our minivan....Ethan sits directly behind Jacob and I couldn't get him in the pic....That little blue carseat is Chloes and it's covered with fabric flowers...I remember buying that carseat for Ethan!! OMG!! They are just getting big so fast...hehe... I have already picked out Chloe's next carseat ( when she turns 1 ) yes, it's PINK....LOL...

~ Happy Memorial Day 2009 ~

We hope you all had a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend. We had fun with the kids...just hung out outside and played...a little BBQ chicken for dinner and a new movie ... { we are very quiet by nature...LOL }...
Princess Pooh shows off the Red & White... that's Brandon holding her and he has the blue...hehe
We don't have a backyard, but the boys have a large back porch that we covered with indoor/outdoor carpet and we also have a HUGE sun canopy over {most} of it...after a little cleaning recently, the Porch was officially "opened" today and the boys couldn't be happier.... { I was remembering with Brandon all the time we spent out here, with the Sand box last summer when I was expecting Chloe...seems just like yesterday...}

My dear little Jacob, mowing the carpet for me....hehe...he has also been doing alot of vacuming lately...hehe...what a little helper!

The 2 boys play so well together... I love to see them run all over...here Ethan grabbed Jacob by the hand and had him follow him to the kitchen { there they ganged up on me for yogurt and applesauce...hehe {

Chloe discovers the grass under he feet

This afternoon as we were all playing outside with the boys, Pooh woke up from her nap and Brandon went in and got her....bringing her outside...As you can see, he decided to see what she thought of the grass...setting her dowm barefeet first...as you can see.. I think she LIKED it...hehe

I really think she looks like she might take off running any minute in this pic...hehe

You know she is just looking down at her feet and wondering what all that stuff is...

A beautiful May Day...

We finally got Brandon back yesterday afternoon and I couldn't be happier...hehe..that was a long 2 weeks! I can't wait for school to get out...so much more time wiht my big twerp...LOL

After running errands all morning...we came home and just got busy playing outside .. the boys had so much fun.... { seen below...Brandon & Ethan getting busy with the basketball....}

Our neighbors also have children about our boys ages and Jacob is enjoying learning how to tricycle on theirs... { I think we are going to have to get Ethan & Jacob their own... this was is so cool... it's that fab plastic and the seat is adjustable which I love....why didn't they have such great stuff when I was little? }

There he goes!! Jacob has so much fun outside... he loves everything...

Choo Choo's & Fish...

For months now Jacob {and Ethan} have been OBSESSED with Trains...everything, all the time Choo Choos..he is so cute when he says choo choo...it comes out saying "shoo shaw".....They have the old Thomas the tank movie ( with real people ) and Jacob wants it on all the time....and i mean all the time...it's a good thing I like that movie...LOL

{ it does not HAVE to be Thomas the Tank... they love ALL trains...this is just the only train movie we have...}

It started with the Dolphins that Brian brought home this past weekend...all the sudden the boys wanted "fsh"... so I put in Finding Nemo and that's a BIG hit... now, we have to alternate...Choo Choo's and Nemo... they are just really enjoying the "Fsh"... {that's how Jacob says it...almost as though there is no "i" }

Everyday fun around the house...

No, we really didn't vanish...LOL, I have just been busy chasing the Peeps and getting ready for summer... I am posting a few pics to day so you can all see what we have been up to.. we are on a 3 week break from Speech ( yea ) and so far, no Dr's at all this week.( wow!). I am counting the days until school gets out and Brandon is here ALL THE TIME... I love it!! We are all well, and hope things are good in your corner..♥

We love to see a happy Pooh...
Ethan just found out that HE won American Idol..hehe
Jacob telling someone all about the "shoo shaws" ( choo choo's )
I love it when my boys help me clean...you should see Ethan dust...LOL
Ethan just adores Chloe...
This picture is just sooo sweet....I love our little Pooh so much...
Jacob loves his apples...( he usually eats them all cut up but wanted to try one whole...we went back to cut up....LOL )

{ P.S. thank you to all of you who voted for Kris Allen... hehe... he is an IDOL.. I about came off the sofa screaming when he was announced as the winner....what a champ!! }

Shameless Promotion

~~ When the fates called the " American Public" decided to vote Danny Gokey off last week ( yes, I sniffled ) I threw my support behind Kris Allen... if you watch....vote for Kris and watch the show down Wednesday... we will!! ~~

Stairs,Big Ol Eyes, and Bare Feet

Jacob figured out how to go UP the stairs right when we moved in last year but it took until now for his to go DOWN them..here you see his time proven method...hehe...
Look who poped in to say Hello....hehe... isn't she just the cutest thing EVER....

Feet? What? These are ETHAN'S BAREFEET!! Really. For those of you that are aware some of Ethans delays are sensory related and we have battled the {shoes} for several years... He will only wear certain types of shoes...Crocs, AquaSocks, Slippers and other types like that... he has HATED to be barefoot and ALWAYS has to have socks AND shoes on... recently, I got him some sandals, made by Crocs and he took them right away... and then I took shoes away at bathtime... then no shoes at naptime.. on a rainy day a few weeks ago ... NO ONE wore shoes all day.. { even the adults }.... there has been a little resistance, but Ethan has adjusted to each thing a little at a time. He has a "shoe shelf" where he and Jacob put there shoes up now and also has adapted to wearing his sandals without socks.. Today, Ethan played for a bit..BAREFOOT...a decision he made, all by himself!! We are sooo proud of this little man.. he keeps learning.. One Step At A Time.. (LOL)

Baby Birds

Today, as has become our habit..the boys got up and outside early... and we found this beautiful Mama bird in her nest with 3 babies in a tree right outside our door... the boys were very intrested and very quiet...obviously they well know "not to wake the baby".. heheh

Everyone is getting bigger

Summer is coming and it's time for Chloe to start wearing some of her absolutely adorable summer clothes...I think she is just precious in this little number...hehe

Jacob & Ethan are eating at the table like 2 big boys and I couldn't be prouder of them both...

A sunny spring Morning...

We got up early today and it was so beautiful!! Just a perfect end of Spring morning. I was so very grateful that there was no rush to get everyone in the car for Speech or a Dr or something...We just had the best time...we took everyone out for sidewalk chalk and then a long walk around the property we live on... the boys LOVED it.. I can not tell you how much they LOVE to be outside...Chloe loves to be outside as well... looking at everything and of course watching those boys!!

Jacob always seems to get the chalk all over him...hehe..

Ethan wanted to run and play more than he wanted to draw

Jacob LOVES sidewalk chalk...he even chalked the front door!

Daddy and Jacob, decisions over who gets which colors..

Our Weekend at a glance

This weekend was a long, quiet one and I just loved it... Saturday was cold and rainy. We stayed in and watched movies, did crafts and just played..Sunday dawned bright and sunny and the boys went right outside with Daddy... hehe...they have so much fun outside...Chloe wore her little butterfly shorts for the 1st time and couldn't be any cuter..


The boys outside with Daddy...Ethan always goes right for the tree...
Chloe....I am so cute.. I just lay here and she goes crazy with the camera..hehe
Jacob....after bathtime,both boys always give me big hugs..tonight, Jacob gave me a bunch...I felt so much better...the love of a child will heal you...
Ethan, still practicing cutting paper... and tired of pictures...LOL

Chloe wearing her little pink butterfly shorts for the 1st time.. so cute I could scream!



You might wonder where is Brandon? He stayed at his Dad's this weekend as Jason was able to take him and his best friend to a Texas Rangers game, and then a 2nd one with some family...he had a good time and got sun burned on his knees (?)....I missed him terribly and can't wait for this weekend...


We hope you all had an equally fun and restful weekend..We hope you all have a blessed week.
