My Glamour Girl

Chloe loves putting on sunglasses and walking around with them on, no matter whos sunglasses they are! This poor kid doesn't even have much of a nose so she has to balance them with her hands to keep them on which makes it more adorable if you ask me =). Sometimes she will tilt her head back to keep them from falling and i joke with her about being a gangsta because she looks like shes trying to be "cool", lol. She does have a pair of her own, little pink ones that we've had for a while but she prefers the over-sized ones like the ones i wear which are big (because we all know that big sunglasses are in) the bigger the sunglasses the cuter they look on her with her tiny nose =). I call her my little glamour girl a lot when she wears them because she looks SO glamourous!!

My Brown Eyed Girl (and bubbles!)

You probably know where im going with this post just by the title...so after seeing dozens of websites with this adorable shirt on them i finally broke down and bought Miss Chloe THE shirt everyone talks about, because everyone does love a brown eyed girl!

We have this pig bubble maker that spits out bubbles when you press the handle on the back that Chloe LOVES. We've had it for a while but Chloe was scared of it for the longest time and wouldn't even get near the thing yet seems to have grown to love it. Its so adorable the way she says "bubbles!" with such excitement, oh how I love this girl!

Lastly I wanted to post a cute collage of Chloe from yesterday after we got home from a day of shopping! Aren't her little Cr0c$ just to die for?

Chloe's Bear

Chloe has been in love with her big bear since not long after we got home from China, and now she will just lay on him and snuggle up to him sometimes. She is so protective over him and really doesn't like anyone else to snuggle up to him for long, umm ok?! Sounds to me like we are in the midst of toddlerdom.

Look who's feeling better!

Look at that smiling face! Thanks to a little "Elmo therapy" together with the nice doctor and great medicine to help her foot, miss Chloe is feeling a lot better and is slowly getting back to her old self! There are a couple of precautions we are taking to make sure Chloe gets better as quick as possible, such as limiting the amount of time she stays out in the sun, because one of the medications shes on recommends that. We are also trying to let her go barefoot as much as we can so her foot can breathe and aren't letting her play outside execpt for strolling in her little red car.

Chloe's first trip to the ER

Yup its true, last night we had to take our sweet girl to the ER. Miss Chloe got bit by some kind of insect on the top of her foot the other day while playing outside and by monday night it was swollen and very inflamed. We werent alarmed until her little toes started turning a purplish color and the top of her foot had a few blisters which were draining a clear fluid, so we decided not to chance anything and drove to the Pediatric ER in Spartanburg (about 30 min from our house). We are so glad we did! They got us in quick and were so nice to Chloe, they even gave her a little stuffed Elmo which she obviously LOVED! The Dr. told us that theres really no way to know exactly what bit her since we didn't acutally see the insect and prescribed an antibiotic & another type of mediacation for allergies so Chloe should be good to go in a few days! She was a little trooper and LOVED the little crib in our room at the ER. I took a few pics with my camera phone of our little sweety.

"cool crib!"

"Yay!"

"This ER trip is making me thirsty!"

"This tastes good!"

Celebrate

Saturday night, one of my bestest friends Mary had a little get-together to celebrate her graduating, just her family and close friends got together for food, swimming and fun! Of course me, my parents and Chloe went and had a really good time celebrating this milestone in her life. Last year my parents threw me a surprise graduation party at the same place Mary had hers (my mom's best friends house) Anyway, I was SO glad to have Chloe here to help us celebrate this year, and i think Mary was too! Im so very proud of her and this accomplishment in her life, especially after the struggle she had with Leukemia. It was certainly a day of celebration. She doesn't graduate for another 2 weeks, but you can be sure that me and CM will be there with bells on! As usual, we took pictures!!


With that said, I hope you all take a moment today to remember every person who has sacrificed his/her life by serving in our military and ensuring our freedom. Happy Memorial Day............

Troubles....

....computer troubles, that is. First off, in the lack of posting reasons, my laptop is currently on the fritz and will be for the next 2 weeks (ugggh) apparently someone *cough, Chloe, cough* has been yanking the cord out of my laptop forcing a lot of trama on it, making some internal problem thingy..anywho now it is going to have some kind of new thing installed in it so I can't get it back for 2 weeks....i hope to borrow my Aunt's computer for a while, so i can continue to post some pictures of miss CM, but if i dont get to then you know why!!
Just wanted to give you to 411 as to why I havent posted in a while.

Play

Well Chloe's playroom is now complete! The other day my moms friend came over and painted a quote from Mulan that I really wanted on the playroom wall, because I think it is a beautiful quote said by the Emperor of China, and it turned out great, im SO excited about it!! Chloe seems to LOVE her new playroom and we spend a lot of time in there at night before her bedtime. Click the collage to see it bigger.

BTW: I took these pictures the other day when Miss Chloe Madison was napping in the swing, so yes in the bottom middle picture shes asleep, lol!

I haven't taken many pictures of CM at all the past few days ( i know, bad Lindsey) so no Pic of tha day =(, BUT when Chloe wakes up from her nap we are headed to Kidsenses so I will definetly take some pics and post them later on tonight or tomorrow morning!!

Happy Sunday Before Easter!

Baby Love

Sometimes I look at Chloe and am totally in awe at what a fantastic transition she has had..i swear it feels like I have always known her as my sister and that she has been with us forever she is just a dream come true. Come sunday it will be 3 months since Chloe day and since that day when she was placed in our arms she has made leaps and bounds beyond my wildest expectations, she is joy, pure joy!

Priceless moments........

My love

And on another note, March Madness is here and to celebrate, Miss CM got all decked out in her UNC Tar Heel cheerleading outfit to root for her favorite team...obviously this cutie did a great job because our Tar Heels wiped out EKU 65-86!!

CHLOE MADISON SAYS....HOW 'BOUT THEM TAR HEELS?!?! =)

The plague......

............has hit my house =[sick sick sick, every single one of us in my house and i mean EVERYONE even the dog is sick =[

Poor little Chloe Madison is one sick little girl, she was poked and prodded yesterday to find out she has bronchial pnemonia and is confined inside the house for the next week and has to have 4 nebulizer treatments a day...not fun =[ i hate seeing my little princess sick!

my dad is coughing all the time and now has a nebulizer that he has to use 3 times a day along with a huge amount of meds he has to take that knocks him out cold.....

my mom is also coughing..every time she laughs she ends up sounding like she is going to cough up a lung at any given moment...

As for me, im not near as bad as the rest of the crew, just dealing with allergies as usual but on top of that this morning i woke up with a KILLER headache , forcing me to sleep most of the day away then stayed in the bed watching law and order re-runs on tnt...

As for Valentines day...not the best one =[ and the pictures of our sweetie in her valentine outfit were taken a few days ago...i miss that happy little girl and can't wait until i get to see that smile again! No pictures for a little while until she gets feeling better..for now i will leave you with a few pictures...one of her with her "mickey ears" on..the ears i bought her when my mom and I went to Disneyland on our trip to L.A last June...

..this one i love just because of the "sneaky" sort of look she has on her face

....this picture was taken just before we headed off to a superbowl party..i LOVE LOVE how dark her eyes look in this picture!
