What's wrong with this picture?


Trivia Answer at bottom of column.

Steph and I have been ushered into the next phase of parenting. As cute as she is, Chloe is also fast, sneaky, and has powers of invisibility. She's like a ninja covered in crumbs. Her new trick is taking dad's wallet off the shelf and strewing the contents around the apartment. Its a fun game, especially when dad gets to the front of the line at the supermarket and doesn't have his debit card, only to find it in the pack-n-play. She also was apparently born with Inspector Gadget arms, able to extend well past normal lengths and grab items n0t meant to be grabbed. Favorites include half full coffee cups, computer cords, charging cell phones, and Brodie's ears. We have taken a seminar on rod-sparing and child spoiling, and needless to say, Steph and I are not into sparing or spoiling. Hopefully our methods will bear fruit in the long run. We have already seen small changes in Chloe, she's stopped swearing and no longer makes long distance phone calls without permission.

Trivia Answer- I'm not left handed.

HAM IT UP!




Chloe was hamming it up for my dad this weekend and just loved being in the spotlight of the camera. watch out Hollywood!

Sketch of the child

So here is a little sketch of Chloe that I did (not quite finished). I was thinking that portraits might be a good way to make a buck...so if any of you out there want to help a mother out send me your pics and you too can own your very own Stephanie Simon original!

Flower Child






Yesterday was one of the first warm days and Chloe's first experience with grass and flowers. She was ecstatic! With each new little flower she laughed and smiled as if it was the best thing she's ever seen.
It was adorable.
