Happy One Month, Baby Chloe!

Okay, so I missed it by two days... Better late than never. 

Timing is Everything...

Chloe has a gift. I know... All parents think their children are gifted. But really, Chloe is special. She has a real knack for timing. The moment the diaper comes off, it's like the lightbulb turns on. Just when you get her clean, and most often right as you put the new clean diaper down, there she goes again. So more often than not, a simple diaper change ends up going through at least two diapers, although the record so far has been 5. Yes, 5. It's a special talent. We should all hope for such blessings upon our children.

An Outfit for Every Occasion

Certain occasions warrant certain clothing. Clearly, Cooper has very distinct ideas about what to wear when playing with play-doh in the backyard. Batman Underoos, a winter ski cap, and teddy bear slippers are all the rage this season. 

Welcome to our Blog!

I have decided to start a blog!  As I've failed miserably at scrapbooking, this is a way for me to remember things that happen in our family. If along the way you want to know about things in our family, too, feel free to follow!

Life in our house changed drastically one month ago, when our newest little Mann arrived. Chloe Catherine, born August 18, 2010 at 11:30pm, 5lb 3oz, 18 inches long. One might think that having two kids is twice the work. In fact, this is a myth, much like the cheesy composition of the moon, or the woman who has enough shoes . Having two kids is exponentially harder than having one, but exponentially more fun, too!


We're buckled in for a bumpy ride - join us, and we can throw our hands in the air together for the big drops!
