Third Tooth

While in Indiana for Thanksgiving, Miss Chloe had a very hard time sleeping on Thanksgiving Eve.  She woke up about three times and wanted to nurse every time.  This was out of the ordinary, because she never wakes at night anymore.  I thought that maybe it was just because we were all sleeping in the same room and she wanted me because she could see me.  However, when we got up on Thanksgiving morning I noticed that her third tooth had finally erupted.  It is the top left one, and I am sure it's the culprit of her night wakings.  Poor baby...I guess the nursing gave her some comfort (at least I hope it did).

Kissing

Chloe has recently started to give kisses that no longer get your face all wet because she has learned to keep her mouth closed.  It is so cute when she leans in really slow to give you a nice soft kiss.  Today, she even blessed her little pink bear (lovey) with a sweet kiss.  I was so surprised when she lifted him up to her mouth and planted a kiss on him (she even made the kissing sound).  She was so proud of herself and beamed with a beautiful smile!

Walking

Chloe is getting really close to walking on her own!  She started taking single steps a few days ago and her balance is getting better and better.  She cruises all the time and you can tell that her confidence is getting better because every once in a while she will try to walk from one object to the other without holding on to anything.  Sometimes she makes it because the object is only about one step away and other times she falls and resigns to crawling.

Well, today was a BIG day for Chloe!  She didn't just take one or even two steps-she took six!  It was so awesome!  I am so excited for her to really start walking!  She is going to be so much happier upright...and so am I.  ;)  She is so hard to hold on to in places that are not appropriate for crawling and soon she will be able to walk, which will make life a little easier in some aspects! Woohoo!
