Chloe the fashion diva

Chloe loves to dress up. Whenever we go to a kids clothing store, Chloe will look around excitedly and if I show her something, she says, "Chloe's" or "on, on!". I tried some cute striped shoes on her last week and she got a huge smile on her face and had to contort her body to get her foot up above the stroller tray, so she could examine her new shoe. We didn't buy it, and when I removed the shoe from her foot and returned her old shoe, she cried. One day I showed up at daycare to pick her up and she had this pink scarf tied around her waist. The teachers said that she wanted to wear it and had been wearing it all day.

The third photo down shows Chloe at her jewelry box. We bought her this box from Grandma and Grandpa and filled it with shiny colorful play jewelry. She loves to go through it and try it on and put it on her baby doll. The bottom photo shows her new baby, which we still call, "baby"; we should probably give this doll a name- it looks so real. It was the same size as Hudson was when he was born and is really heavy too. When Chloe first got it for Christmas, she picked it up and carried it around, and soon started crying, saying, "heavy". It was as if she knew that it was her obligation to care for this baby, but it was just so heavy!
