It's a good day

Actually, I'm not above admitting that it's a GGRREEAAATTT day for a reason so silly and unimportant but still great for this fashion girl's heart.

Each Sunday for the past few months, we get up, get ready for church, and I try to pull on a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans. Each Sunday, it's the same result, they don't fit. I get mad. I pull on the maternity jeans. I pout or cry. I head into Chloe's room to dress her hoping that if she looks precious than it won't matter to me that I'm still in the jeans that once held her too. Each Sunday we repeat this routine. Each Sunday...until today!! Today, we got up, we got ready, and I pulled on my jeans...not just any jeans....my Chip and Pepper Skinny Jeans I bought in NYC in March of LAST year. Soon after we were pregnant and ever since I've been hoping my body had not so drastically changed that I'd never wear them again. So, as silly and unimportant as this milestone is, it's a great day. My chip and peppers are back in rotation and my maternity jeans can lovingly be put away until the next baby comes along.

In news that actually does matter: Chloe is TALKING up a storm! She's also rolling over, sucking her toes, and did I mention talking? I wonder where she gets this chatty nature? With all this talking, Crack Team has stood true to one of the qualities that we're known for...COMPETITIVENESS. So, what better way to welcome Chloe's chattering than a little competition that involves a little cash? The bet is on! Chris is trying to get Chloe to say "Mama" first and I'm trying to get her to say "Dada." Anyone who wants to help her say Dada...I'll owe you one! In the meantime, here is a precious video of Chris's best efforts:
