finally sunny

It is finally nice up here in Alaska. We have had temps in the high 50's low 60's here the last week or so and we are loving it! The last of the snow has melted from the yard, and there are little bits of green cropping up here and there. We have been out biking, walking and lounging on the deck/yard clean up. What a difference a little warm weather makes!

Enough about the beautiful weather on to the headline!!!! Chloe's first steps! These are the first on camera steps!! She only started taking steps a few days ago. So far the farthest she has gotten is about 3 feet, but that equals like 10 steps for her!!

It is really exciting for us to see all of these huge changes day to day, and she is doing so many new things every day it is hard to catch it all!

For instance I can tell she has a little bit of my brother in her as she has been trying to eat the dog food. (Alex liked to eat the cat's food when he was younger; my parents had to put it up on the counter so he couldn't get to it!!! I think I recall a story about us looking all over for Alex and finally finding him in the hall closet inside a giant bag of cat food happily munching away). Well much like her uncle Alex, Chloe goes straight for the dog bowls, dives into the water and sticks the food into her mouth. This all happens in the course of a few seconds. I do not have any pics of this because I am always in a mad dash to drag her away from the food as she kicks and screams in protest. Andrew always asks why the dog bowls are up on the counter when he gets home. Now you know Andrew!! We have one seriously speedy baby on our hands!
