Chloe is THREE!

Happy Birthday to our Chloe!

Dear Chloe,

We are so excited for you to be three now! This summer has been so fun with you. You are such a smart little girl. You can explain things in great detail. You have the cutest little "s" lisp and soft "r" sound. You don't like to be left out - you like to say the prayer for every meal if we let you. You love playing with both of your brothers. Abram really loves you and relies on you for lots of fun play at home. You very seldom say "no" to any of his imaginative play scenarios. He says, "do you want to be the monkey and I will be the zookeeper?" and you say "yes", or he might say "should we play astronauts in outer space?" and you say "mmmm. . . yes." When ever Hans shows his walking skills, you are sooo excited and enthusiastic about him doing something new. You are happy to sit in front of the mirror for a long time, so that I can braid your hair. You love to sing and make up songs to different tunes you know. And you love to dance. You love to be tickled and you love it when we take you in our arms and squeeze and hug you and tell you that you can't get bigger because you always have to be our little girl. You are so much fun.

Love, mommy and daddy

And Chloe in the hospital after she was born. She had a very different look than her brothers.

It is fun to see her turn into a beautiful little girl full of personality.
