And so we wrap up 2014. It’s been an amazing year, mostly due to the addition of baby Chloe. I can’t believe how fast this year went. Chloe is ten months, soon to be one year, she’s got a great personality and is so responsive and happy and always laughing (especially in front of the camera!). Laurent and I are so incredibly grateful for baby Chloe and all our friends and family that have supported us this year – we could not have done it without you!

That being said, we’d like to let all our friends and family know that we’re so happy to announce that we’ll be adding to our little family in May 2015. I’ll let Chloe make the announcement since her expressions below are just priceless. Wishing everyone a wonderful and happy 2015!

What happens when you let Grandpa feed baby Chloe copious amounts of cake and cookies? She doesn’t go to sleep at night because she’s high on a sugar rush, that’s what. =0) Well not copious, but definitely more than normal but I guess that’s what happens on the holidays? Or maybe just when Grandpa is around?

Merry Christmas to all our family and friends! It’s been an amazing year, most notably with the addition of baby Chloe to the family. Here are some pictures from this very special day.

 

Happy (belated) ten months to Miss Chloe. We went for a weight check and Miss Chloe gained more than a pound and a half over the last month or so. Whew! While she’s certainly not a big girl, you can definitely feel the extra ounces when you pick her up. Stay tuned for Christmas pictures! Happy holidays to everyone and all our love and best wishes.

Round two of Dim Sum, this time with Mommy and Daddy and the NYC cousins!

If I recall seventh grade biology, I distinctly remember those examples where you had to cross a light hair, light eyed gene bubble with a dark hair, dark eyed gene bubble and you had to decide what the baby bubble would look like and it had to do with dominant and recessive genes. Remember that? So what the HECK is going with the genes of my daughter? I’m really beginning to doubt whether or not we took the right baby home, I mean for sure, she looks like her father but I dunno, am I sure I carried her for nine months? What color do YOU think her hair is right now? =0)

Even though the season for Big Blue is over, that doesn’t mean we stop cheering!

Now that Daddy is back from France, we can dig out the box of Christmas decorations that is of course on the bottom of our storage unit. Chloe wasted absolutely no time and was totally fascinated with the garland, particularly the beaded garland strand we have. We tried to get her to help us put the star on top of the tree but I think our expectations are a little high. =0) Stay tuned for more Christmas pictures to come!

So what happens when Grandpa is left in charge of Miss Chloe? They go dim-summing without Mommy. Not fair! Mommy wants dim sum TOO! Miss Chloe seemed to enjoy herself and the samples that Grandpa gave her. I believe egg custards were her favorite. What child doesn’t love egg custards?!?!? Thanks to Auntie Queenie for the great pics! I love the dead pan look that Chloe is giving her on the right as if to say “what? that was totally yum. what else is there to eat?”
