'What you talkin' bout Willis?!?!'

These pictures really need no words. Chloe is so animated and already has such a variety of facial expressions. She may not be able to talk, but she can definitely communicate.
I have often wondered what goes on in the mind of a baby/small child who cannot speak yet...especially when a much larger version of themselves (adults) are hovering over them talking baby talk...the goo goo gaa gaa language. I now know thanks to these pics. The first thing that popped in to my head when I saw these was that famous line from the old TV show "Different Strokes." I swear if she could have talked she would have said, "What you talkin' bout Willis?!?!" Oh to see oursevles through her eyes...it must be very amusing and confusing!

SNOW!!

Yesterday it REALLY snowed. I'll bet we got almost 3 inches. It was truly a welcome sight and absolutely gorgeous. You see, we see snow rarely around here...and if it actually sticks on the ground, the whole city shuts down! LOL! With all the polution it's no wonder it takes a miracle for it to actually stick...but this time, it did!

The dogs LOVED playing in the snow!

Road Trip!

This past weekend, we took our first official mini-road trip. We went to visit Nana B.B. I was a bit skeptical and nervous as to how traveling with a 5.5 week old baby, a 7 year old dog, and a 6 year old dog would go....PERFECT! I know I say this a lot, but we are SOOO BLESSED! We all got there and back in one piece and had a wonderful visit with Nana and the rest of my family.

Say Cheese!

Needless to say it was snowing like crazy today. We got almost 3 inches! So, in the attempts to entertain ourselves, what did we do? Took more pictures of Chloe of course. LOL! Witnessing those 'firsts' in your children's lives are breathtaking. However, to actually be able to capture these precious moments on camera are truly priceless. Enjoy!

I Love to Eat!

Chloe has been eating a lot here lately. She is eating 4.5-5.0 ounces every 3-4 hours. We weighed her on Sunday January 25th and she weighed 10 lbs, 6 ounces. Her last Doctor's appointment was January 7th and she weighed 8 lbs, 12 ounces. So in 18 days she gained 26 ounces!!

Double chins are only cute on babies...oh so cute!

Chloe's placement ceremony!

Finally, a decent Rogers family photo!

Nana B.B. came to spend the night for Chloe's placement ceremony at Bethany Christian Services.

Uncle Brother was there too!

4 weeks old!

Today Chloe is 4 weeks old. Hard to believe that much time has already passed. She is such a good baby! We have been incredibly blessed and are enjoying every minute of being new parents. The below pictures are of the day we left the hospital (Christmas Day) and yesterday. It is the same outfit in the same carrier, and it is neat to see just how much she has grown. She is a heavy little girl and is probably pushing 10 lbs now...seriously. She loves her yummies!
12-25-08......8lbs 5.5 oz


Look at how much bigger she is! Truly amazing! At least this outfit fits her...for now.
As of January 25th, she weighed 10lbs, 5ounces!
