Big weekend

This past weekend was a big busy one for the Crack Team.


Saturday morning was Chloe's dedication. My parents came into town for the service and my Mom even made her dress and brought the necklace I wore for my baptism which also has the ring she had as a baby...so lots of special meaning. At the dedication, there are prayer leaders that have chosen to pray for your child during the dedication process. We were sooooo happy and blessed to have Kirby and Meredith Holmes as our prayer couple. Their daughter Hannah was our flower girl and we admire them greatly as friends, parents, and leaders at our church. I nearly cried when I found out they were our prayer people! They had researched the Greek meaning of Chloe's name and found it to me verdant and green...meaning a plentiful harvest. They took that and prayed that Chloe's life would produce much fruit and multiplication. They read a bible verse and prayed over us. It was really special.















Saturday afternoon Chloe got to swim with her Papa for the first time. He swam her all over the pool in her little starfish float. She LOVED that.

Sunday Chris and I set up Chloe's splash pad in our back yard for the first time. At first we had the bumbo seat sitting in there but it was too high up. So then Chris just held her sitting. Finally we decided to lay her down with her head propped on the edge. She LOVED that. For awhile she kicked, splashed, and had a blast. Then she just sunbathed in her bikini! I wish I had a splash pad!



















Later, we finally got a highchair for Ms. Chloe. We set it up and gave Chloe her first taste of real food...sweet potatoes. We had the camera and flip ready to catch the funny faces but actually she just opened up and tasted the food. She seemed to really like it. So, stayed tuned for more adventures with real food!
