DAY IN THE LIFE OF...

We LOVE when dad relieves mom

Plays and Tickles with Chloe

Gets Chloe good and tired

To avoid her opening the diaper bag snacks on the bed while dad is out of town

Kimball makes funny wiggle faces

Still has crazy cross-eyed looks

But lucky us he still SLEEPS like an angel!!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

THIS IS DAY ONE...I THINK CHLOE'S THOUGHTS ARE THAT KIMBALL IS THE BEST NEW TOY SHE EVER GOT. EVERYTHING IS STILL ABOUT HER AND NO SIGNS OF JELOUSY YET.

DAY TWO...A LESS SHY CHLOE IS EVEN MORE EXCITED ABOUT HER LIVE BABY.

KIMBALL'S FIRST POST

THIS LITTLE BOY HAS BEEN GREAT AND SLEEPING LIKE A DREAM; HIS BIG SISTER IS ANOTHER STORY. :) DADDY IS A PUSH OVER AND CHLOE GOT AWAY WITH A LOT WHILE MOM WAS GONE.

I LOVE MY LITTLE FAMILY AND AM REALLY ENJOYING LIFE RIGHT NOW. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP LEADING UP TO THIS POINT AND ALL YOUR CONTINUING LOVE AND SUPPORT!

CAMERA CATASTROPHY

Somehow over Christmas someone might have lost the battery to our camera. Brandon will be ordering a new one and lets all hope the battery comes before our little BOY!
For all those who don't know I am scheduled for a C-section Monday January 19 @ 12:30!!! The count down has begun. He will share a birthday with his aunt Jenn and we decided on the name KIMBALL DEAN TACKETT. Think of us while you are of playing on Civil Rights Day aka Martin Luther King Day.

CATCH UP

I know it's been a while but we now have internet again! So we are playing catch up with a few random photos. Enjoy!

Chloe for some reason loves to be inside Dottie's kennel.

She will even open the door for Dottie to come in then close the door and laugh as she locks Dottie out of her own kennel! Chloe loves the "psych out"

Here are my 3 MUSKETEERS

Sienna, Katelyn, & Chloe

"Miss Independent" only will eat what she can feed herself! I seem to spot clean a lot more laundry and am in need of larger bibs.

Rob, Jenn, Brandon, Sterling, Sienna, Chloe, G-ma Sally, & Kate

My studly spouse ran the Turkey Trot and I am so proud, but we enrolled way late and paid with cash. When we got home to check his time there was never any record of him!!! Something tells me that girl just pocketed the cash and gave him a bogus sensor. We all had fun and I was designated babysitter which I felt can be just as strenuous as a 10K run.

Orange smiles with G-ma

All tuckered out!

Brandon loves it when she sleeps with her mouth open. :b

Uh-oh the look of death.

PARK PICS

Bit of CRAZY HAIR

Best when these girls have there own slide otherwise...

well you can see. Nora and Chloe are great friends as long as they don't have to share. I love Nora's grin.

Chloe couldn't figure this one out. It is too steep for her to climb and for some reason she had a tough time using it as a slide. She has her daddy's smile in this photo.
We didn't get many Halloween pics because my camera battery is only good if you charge it after every outing! Even if this isn't the best pic somethings better than nothing.
Chloe was pretty warm in her costume and not very happy!

LET'S PARTY!!

Happy Chloe after consuming more sugar in one day than in the year leading up to the party!

What a great eater.

Chloe loves sharing all her meals with Dad and Brandon is always a great sport. Most of the meals Chloe is feeding Dad more than the other way around!

Chloe's good friend Wes

These two have so much fun together.

"I am so excited for the party, are these all for ME?!?" Grandma Sally knows how to give the people what they want.

RIDING WEEKEND

Chloe and cousin Landon seemed to love the dirt more than the blanket.

Wearing down or just getting her second wind?

I can't ride much while pregnant but glad my bike is still getting good use.

Sorry about the long span between updates. My neighbors moved and took their internet with them! (the nerve) Still working on talking Brandon into getting our own, but you know him "why pay for it when everyone we know already has it?". Good thing he is so handsome otherwise this would be grounds for an argument.

Chloe is doing great and loves to make cow and duck noises. She is excellent at waving, loves the word "DAD" and says it all day long. She even calls all the greeters at the stores or anyone out for a smoke break "DAD". I choose to laugh about it rather than have it be awkward. Walking is just on the horizon. Chloe is most motivated while outdoors but can walk about 10' when she is really in her groove. Applause is a must, and if you don't reckognize her accomplishments she will be her own cheerleader until you catch on.

We adore our little girl and this first year has been just MARVELOUS. I really am excited to see her as a BIG sister. Chloe now has half a dozen dolls and is very loving with them. For all who may not know I am having a BOY and am scheduled for deliver Monday, January 19. One of Brandon's top pics is "KIMBALL" and we've been trying it our but still taking suggestions.
