22 Months

As usual, Baby Girl was soaking up the new words Mama and Daddy threw at her at 22 months. Some of her newbies are strawberry, purse, bag, milk, big, doggie, bike, bucket, sit, eat, off, wheel, picture, hurt, sing, out, hug, trash, sun, mat, pickle, chicken, funny and moon. Chloe's newest family and friend names that she's learned are Jonathan, Angel, Peter, and Honey. She can also say Grandpa Phan, Grandpa Le, shirt, bird, light and love you in Vietnamese. One of her newest tricks this month is putting two or more words together to describe things. Baby Girl can now say Let's Go, Big Doggie, Happy Face, Bumble Bee, Kitty Cat, Big Ball, Miss You, Poker Face, Bubble Tea, and Lady Bug. Some other new tricks this month include twisting tops back on, using keys to open car doors, saying sorry and counting from 1-10 completely. Some other new tricks she learned this month are climbing ladders and going up the stairs without using her hands. And the biggest accomplishment that Baby Girl did this month was learn to say that she is two years old in both Vietnamese and English!

First School Performance

Mama and Daddy couldn't be any prouder today watching Chloe sing and dance at her first school performance. Baby Girl had the best time showing Mama and Daddy what she's been perfecting during her school year at Footsteps. Check out Miss Thang!

Hat

Chloe is not one to love wearing hats. In fact, she hates it. Mama was so happily surprised to find out she wanted to wear a hat that she had to take pics to remember this special day. Check out Baby Girl rockin the hat!

This isn't too bad.

I can rock it!

Aunt Kimmie's Housewarming

The Phans headed over to Aunt Kimmie's for her housewarming party tonight. The cousins had fun playing games, eating all the party treats and just plain being silly. Mama was happy to see that the kids could entertain themselves while the adults had a little relaxation time.

Sweet Baby Girl.

Hello Miss Kitty!

Mama took some pics of Chloe with her Hello Kitty doll today for her birthday invitations. At first, Baby Girl was not cooperative at all. Mama was a little frustrated with Chloe, so she took a break to recollect and with much determination got the shot she wanted for the invite!

Not a happy camper.

A little bit better...

After a bribe with some candy...

And the end result...taaa daa!

Tricycle

Chloe woke up to a nice surprise today. Her God Daddy Jonathan gave Baby Girl her first tricyle just because! Luckily enough for Chloe, Anna and Chase came by just in time to put it together for Baby Girl.

What to do now?

I guess I'll start here.

How about this Anna?

This is cool!

Twin Play Date

Mama and Chloe headed over to the Rufo household to meet the newest twin additions to the family. Baby Girl didn't know what to do when she saw not one, but two babies in the same room. What a treat for Chloe!

Easter Sunday

The Phans headed over to the Heallen household on Easter Sunday for Baby Julianna's Baptism Party. The adults loved catching up over yummy food while the kiddoes hunted for eggs. Chloe surprised Mama and Daddy by tag teaming with her friend Vincent to find eggs. Vincent's parents were shocked that Vincent was sharing his candy with Baby Girl. What a nice day for new things!

Park Fun

Mama and Daddy took Chloe to a new park today for some outdoor fun. At first she was a little scared of the new surroundings, but after a little coaxing from Daddy she was all good. Once she was comfortable, she was even able to meet new friends. To Mama and Daddy's surprise, one of Baby Girl's new friends was a boy version of her! Mama couldn't get enough of Chloe's boy twin that she made them take pics together!

And she ends the day with good times with her God Daddy.

Good Friday

Chloe had a full day with both the Le and Phan families on Good Friday. She started the day by searching for eggs with her Cousin Peter. After the hunt, Mama and Aunt Phuong took the kids to the mall to play in the kiddie section. And if that wasn't enough of a fun packed day, Mama and Daddy decided to take Baby Girl to get some crawfish with the Phan clan. With all of these events, Chloe did not wine or fuss at all. What a trooper!

Look Peter...stickers!

I love stickers.
