Well it has begun, POTTY TRAINING! My goal is to have Chloe totally potty trained before Cayleigh gets here. She has plenty of time and she is doing pretty good so far. They have put her in the 18-24mos. class at daycare where they potty train and she has gone a few times there. We found out this weekend that she likes to sit on the BIG potty and go.

She's gonna hate me for this one day.

Fall Pictures

Aunt Desi has been hanging out with us a lot lately and we all know how camera happy she is. Here are A LOT of pictures she has taken recently.

18 Months and Growing

Chloe had her 18 month check-up yesterday. She did better than usualy but still cried the moment good 'ol Dr. Schaeffer walked in the door. He's such a nice man, I feel bad that Chloe screams in his face the whole time. Here are her stats...

Weight: 29lbs. 4oz. 95%

Height: 34in. 95%

Head: 19 1/4 cm (big headed like her mother)

Clothes: 2T/3T in most shirts and pants

Shoes: 6.5 or 7 wide depending on the maker

Talking: She is speaking in some sort of sentences now. Not sure what she is saying all the time but after a few tries I understand.

Food: Any type of pasta she's on it. She loves spaghetti and raviolis. Green beans are her favorite veggie right now but she also eats peas and lima beans pretty well. Yes lima beans, her father's favorite. Anything fresh fruit she will eat in 5 seconds to make sure she gets more, especially grapes and strawberries. She is pretty funny with bananas, she HAS to have them in the peel.

It's a GIRL!!

I haven't posted anything on this yet because I was really waiting for today. Chris and I were shocked back in June to find out we were pregnant with baby number 2. Believe me we didn't think we would be blessed twice. Now we find out today that we are blessed with another Princess. Preliminary names are Cayleigh Renee' or Cayleigh Reece. Still haven't decided on the middle name yet. It will for sure be Cayleigh though. Here is video from the big ultrasound today. She wasn't very cooperative at first. It took a lot of maneuvering to find out it was in fact a girl. We are due March 10 and cannot wait to see if this one has dark hair and eyes like her momma or we have another blonde!

Ren Fest 2008

It has become a tradition in the Monson household to attend the Renaissance Festival every year. This year was no different. We went with our friends Jenny & Guy and their cousins Rhea and Jaeden. The girls had a blast with Chloe and we all laughed at some of the strange people. It just seems to get weirder every year.

Ok I'm ready for the day!

Daddy, why does everyone dress so crazy here?

Come on Chloe, we'll show you the way.

No words needed.

Halloween Photo Shoot

We were going to take Chloe's pictures in her costume but decided this dress was cuter. She did so well. Much better than she did for her first birthday pictures. It took her only 7 minutes to take these shots and she was so excited that she did so well she didn't want to stop smiling. Enjoy!
