Keeping up with Chloe

It finally happened!  Craig and I got Chloe all to ourselves for a few days while Kim and Mark went out of town for a long weekend.

I drove over to Austin on Wednesday afternoon so Kim and Mark could get last minute things done before they left on Thursday.

After Chloe and I got back from dropping Kim and Mark off at the airport we just hung out at the house for the rest of the day and took a walk to the park in the evening.

The next day we played "tag".  Crawling is definitely a baby sport.  My knees were raw from crawling in circles around the coffee table but it was worth it.  We had fun and that entertained Chloe until about lunch time.  We headed to Luby's for lunch.  We dined on baked fish, mac & cheese and mashed potatoes.  Just to keep Chloe's mom happy we also got a dish of broccoli (yuck) which Chloe seems to love.  We made a quick trip to HEB for bananas and grapes and headed home for a nap.

No shirt because we were spray and washing the carrots out.

Craig aka Pop arrived that evening and Chloe was just as happy to see him as he was to see her. 

Saturday we all took a morning walk to the park then it was back to the house for Chloe and Pop's nap time.  They both went down with no trouble at all.

Guess Pop's not doing it right.



Now it's better.

After naps Pop decided we needed some ice cream.  We all enjoyed DQ blizzards.  Of course, Chloe had plain vanilla but she didn't care.  And then it was off for 1 more walk before dinner.

I'm ready!!

Open wide

YUM!!

That's good stuff.





After dinner, Chloe introduced Pop to her favorite tv show, The Backyardigans.  They were both mesmerized but Chloe was too tired to see the end of the show.

Big yawn

Sunday was a short day for us.  We had breakfast and went to the airport to pick up Kim.  Mark had to fly on to San Fransisco for the day.  Chloe was ready for her Mama to be home.  She had been so good all weekend but on Saturday night she just kept saying Mom..mom..mom...mom. 

Who's that girl behind those Foster Grants?

Craig and I headed home Sunday afternoon.  It was a wonderful weekend.  Chloe was an angel; no fussing or crying.  We can't wait to do it again....hint, hint.

What an angel!
