Quotable...

This morning, we passed by a playground:

Aiden(6): "To be good at monkey bars, you have to have power in your hands."

Now that's good advice!

Chloë's Stats

9-month Check-up (June 30th)

• Ht: 33 inches = 105th percentile
• Wt: 21.5 lbs = 75th percentile

Talking (sort of), crawling (too fast), walks with assistance, loves to wear her shoes (squeals with joy), drinks out of a sippy cup...

Our "buggie" in a "buggy"

Advice from Chloë: Always know where the camera is

Zoo

We spent a hot July evening at the Oregon Zoo recently...it was Chloë's first time...but I don't think she had as much fun as we did.

These kids never can look at the camera...Aiden holds the pose, but then looks at something else...Chloë just wants to look at him...it's a vicious circle.


Kicking daddy in the face...complete with "Air Jordan" tongue! Nice.


Go Cougs!


Can't you read? The sign says: "Don't Feed the Animals"



Why won't that goat smile?

4th of July with the Durias Clan

We had a great time getting away to Sarah's parent's cabin near Carson, Washington and spending some time with the Durias family from our church.

Ian Durias already blogged about it...and took most of the pictures...so you can see them here.

On another note...here's the latest on the house:
