She loves food. There's not much that she won't eat, but a few of her favorites right now are salad, crackers, noodles of any kind, any soup, and she loves sandwiches (which she calls "pizza" after Jed made her a pizza sandwich a few months ago) Every morning I wake up to Chloe coming up to me and asking for food.
She loves to sing. She does the cutest performances when she sings. She gets on her tip toes and puts one arm stretched out to whom ever she's singing to and belts out her song and sways.She loves to dance. You will always catch her dancing when there's music on. She'll even turn on the radio just so she can dance.
She loves to roar. She loves to pretend she's a monster, lion or a bear and she'll chase Elijah around and roar and growl at him. They both love that game. (Her nicknames are fitting even though they started before the growling: Chloe Bear and Chloe Monster)
She loves animals, but her favorites are the giraffe and monkey right now. While she knows most animal sounds she still loves to roar and howl like a coyote the best.
A few of her favorite games are ring-around-the-rosie, little bunny fufu, and playing airplane.
She can count to at least ten, but really only likes to count to five then will start back over until she's counted everything.
She knows most of her alphabet and can read her own name and Elijah's. She also knows all of her body parts. She loves learning and Elijah loves to help teach her.
She loves to read. She can read endless amounts of books all day long.
She gets into EVERYTHING! There's nothing that she can't and won't get into. I spend most of my day chasing her around and just cleaning up after her. She tries to help clean up as much as she can. She loves wipes and usually has to carry one around with her which she uses to scrub up messes.
She knows she's adorable and uses it to get her way. She has the cutest way of just tilting her head, bat her eyes at you, smile and will ask please. She also uses this ploy when she's in trouble she won't look directly at you she'll just watch you from the corner of her eyes. It's really hard to keep a straight face when she does it too. On the flip side, we never have to get really upset with her, we just look at her without saying anything and she'll cry and say sorry on her own.Her kisses have to be earned. She doesn't give them out freely (that might not be a bad thing once she's of dating age though). She gives the best hugs and gives tons of them, but it's hard to get a kiss out of her. When she does give kisses it's cheek to cheek never on the lips.
She's a mamma's girl, and has everyone wrapped around her finger, BUT Elijah is her favorite person. If Elijah isn't up when she is she has to go wake him up so they can play together. She follows him anywhere and everywhere.She is learning to say her own prayers. She's always good at reminding us to say our prayers if Elijah hasn't already. After Elijah says his, she starts her own. It's really cute and she can't finish them so Elijah tries to help her say it.
She also loves to talk. She is our little conversationalist. She's able to keep up a pretty good conversation and loves to talk and talk and talk.
And here's some pictures of her today
Happy Birthday to my beautiful girl! You've brought us all so much joy and love!
Oh my gosh she's so big!!!! I can't believe how much bigger she looks just in the few months I haven't seen her!
