D-Backs have a new fan!

On Wednesday Chloe attended her first Diamondbacks Game. It was a great game as the D-backs played the Philly's and actually won 4-0!! Thank Goodness the ballpark has a roof and is air conditioned. We had great seats right above the visitors dugout-- we were among a sea Philly's Fans and literally in the middle of a row--with 5 or 6 people on either side of us. But they didn't seem to mind us getting up and down several times throughout the game. "This ballpark food isn't so bad--tastes just like what I eat at home." The easiest way to carry a baby.

Chloe's view of the game. That's Ok--We think she enjoyed looking at the lights and the giant head in front of her.
4th inning--naptime.

Whoa-someone had a few too many bottles.
We lasted all the way until the 7th inning stretch--not too bad for a night out with a 2 month old!

Pink Band Aids are Cool!

Chloe had her 2 month check up with the doctor on Tuesday. She weighed in at 9 lbs 9oz and is 22 inches long. She is in the 18th percentile for weight and 34th percentile for height. She checked out great and the doctor said she was perfect. She also got her vaccinations at this appointment. She got 3 shots in her legs and was given one oral vaccination which she had to drink. She did great and got 3 pink band aids. She did get a little fever later on in the evening--100.4 --so we got to try out her new ear thermometer and gave her some infant tylenol, but by the next morning she was back to her old self.

Then & Now

2 Days Old

2 Months Old

Ooops

Yes...that is what you think it is!!

Just another day in Kronville!

On Chloe's two month birthday-she had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Kron and Uncle Kfir. Grandma and Grandpa brought back some gifts from their recent trip to Las Vegas and Uncle Kfir bought Chloe a cute Baby Gap shirt and sweater.

We also watched Chloe's new favorite DVD--The Wubbulous World of Dr. Suess. Ok--it is her only DVD but she loves it. I purchased it at a consignment sale, thinking that it would be a while until she was interested, but at two months Chloe has clearly discovered the TV--so we thought we would put the DVD in and see and she couldn't take her eyes off of it--She loves the Cat and the Cat, Horton and all the Whos in Whoville and all the other Dr. Suess characters.

All these fancy toys and I just want the fabric softener.

Chloe is starting to be more and more aware during her waking hours. She has lots of new things to look at including this John Lennon Playmat--who knew there were so many baby Beatles things. I am also going to get her a music CD--All you need is love-Beatles songs for kids.

You would think she is staring at the funny animals or the mirror on the bottom of the turtle, but....She is more interested in staring at the piece of fabric softener on the floor.

Chloe's First Vacation

We traveled all the way to Tempe, Arizona for Chloe's first night in a hotel!

"Mom and Dad must be showing me off--little do they know I plan to poop and barf all over this cute little outfit"

"I hope no one recognizes me out here"

"Did you guys check out all the snacks in the mini-bar?"
"Please mom and dad--don't ever make me wear an outfit like this"

Chloe on Display

The photographer, Tina of Live Love Photography, who shot Chloe's newborn photo is also a hair stylist and recently told me that she ordered some large canvas prints of her work to display in her salon studio and she has a huge one of our princess Chloe. It just makes me smile that her clients will ooohhh and ahhhh over Chloe. I might have to have her start doing my hair so I can see it up close and personal.

Swimming Beauty

Ooohhh the water is so relaxing!


Teaching her early that it is important to protect yourself from the sun.


How warm is this water???

Where did this killer whale come from? Waaahoo--Riding the whale!

Meeting Uncle Bryan

Chloe is very lucky that her entire immediate family lives close by--with the exception of her Uncle Bryan whose navy career takes him all over the world. But Uncle Bryan drove down from Denver to meet his new niece this past weekend.

Girls and Their Shoes...

What girl doesn't love new shoes. Chloe is no exception. At 7 weeks old, she finally fits into her first pair. Which is a good thing because she already has 16 pairs--maybe it's her mom that has the shoe addiction--or to be honest--it could be her dad =)

Funny Faces

Bath time fun.

Chloe has really started to like taking baths---Ok, so we've only had one bath so far that she didn't scream her head off--but I think it is a sign. She is also growing so she is finally fitting into some of her pajamas--so we take her to the changing table, put on her funny footed pj's and on this paticular night--instead of combing her hair-we decided to give her an afro. Oh- she will love us later in life for this.

You can also see her first face scratches on her left check--we gotta do something about those little claws she has. Here are some more after bath photos--Chloe looking so relaxed after her bath.

"Geez mom--just put some clothes on me already"

Chloe's first pair of running shoes.

A trip to the Nike Outlet store will never be the same. We went down an aisle that we never went down before--the kids shoes size aisle. And there they were size 2 pink and purple nikes. We could not resist. We have no idea when these will fit her, but they are so cute to look at that they were worth the 24.99 we paid for them.

Chloe's Social Calendar

Chloe attended her first 1st Birthday Party a couple of weeks ago. Myah, our friend Tim and Brittany's daughter, turned 1 on June 26th--she is exactly 11 months older than Chloe and I'm sure they will become great friends. They live in our neighborhood, so I stuck Chloe into the sling--where she stayed for most of the party even though she was all dressed up for the occasion in her strawberry princess outfit and tulip bib. Myah was the most polite cake eater I've ever seen.

Picnic in Prescott

The good part of living in Phoenix in the summer time is that it is easy to get out of the heat. Just a 2 hour drive north to Prescott and we went from 105 degrees to 65 degrees (and yes we were cold). It was Chloe's first road trip and despite one traffic jam, one wrong turn, and a little rain storm --it was a good one. Since we are pretty much home bound this summer--we thought it would be a good idea to get out and visit the places in our own state that we never pay any attention too--for this first trip it was up to Prescott (just about 100 miles north of Phoenix) to the infamous courthouse. It was a beautiful place for a picnic and it happen to be "Frontier Days" with a rodeo in town--so there were plenty of opportunities for people watching with all the belt buckles and cowboy hats walking around. Trying out the "ergo carrier"

Ahhh..the sun has finally come out!

But don't worry, Chloe didn't sunbath for long.
Ahhh....the shade-but I think Chloe needs a bigger head to fit her hat.

We enjoyed roast beef sandwiches with roasted red peppers and goat cheese.

Our pretty picnic place.

On the courthouse steps.

Happy 4th of July!
