Chloe Turns 3!

Little Miss Chloe turned 3 on Thursday! She was looking forward to her birthday all week long!

Since we're combining her party with Blake's on Tuesday, we celebrated with the family at Peter Piper for lunch. Brent and Grandpa Foster were able to meet us there, along with Tori, Marci, Joe and their kiddos.

After the Peter Piper fiesta, we headed over to Chandler Regional to visit Grandpa L. Poor Grandpa was back in the hospital -- and my kids thought he looked like he had an elephant's trunk with the tube sticking out of his nose. Poor guy! Glad he's home now doing well!

At the end of the big day, I asked Chloe what her favorite thing was about her birthday. Her answer . . . "Getting Dora Band-aids!" It truly is the little things . . . why do I bother with anything else?

Some of Chloe's other favorite things (in her own words):

Favorite TV Show: Super Why & Dora

Favorite Princess: Sleeping Beauty
Favorite Food: Pasta

Favorite Place to Go: Park

Favorite Toy: Play Doh

Favorite Movie: Ariel and Camp Rock

Favorite New Vocabulary Word: Cleavage (in mom's words)

Chloe was such a beautiful baby! When we first saw her we couldn't get over the amount of thick dark hair she had. And it had such cute highlights too! She was such an easy baby -- smiled at just 5 weeks and hardly ever cried. Slept a 5 hour stretch from about 2 weeks on (and neither of my first two ever slept more than 2 hours at a time for months, so I truly appreciated it!).

Before we had Chloe we thought we were pretty good parents because our first two were so obedient. They never colored on walls, destroyed property, clogged toilets, or hurt others. And then Chloe came along . . . she definitely tests her boundaries but we still love her for it! She is a determined, smart little girl who I know will get what she wants out of life! She is constantly making us laugh with the funny things she says. And really, how can you get mad at a kid as cute as she is? We love you Miss Chloe!
