Well I’m happy to report that Chloe is growing. After a couple of weight checks in the first few weeks we discovered that breastfeeding just wasn’t enough,  🙁 so now we are supplementing with formula and she’s growing. I’m just glad we discovered the problem before she was ‘starving to death’ (as in the case with Dinah). So Chloe had her 2 month check-up on Monday and she weighs 8 lbs 3 oz now (exactly what Ethan weighed when he was born!) It’s wierd to look at Chloe and think “you’re as big as Ethan was when he was born, and you’re two months old.” She has also graduated to size 1 diapers. 🙂 My mom and Kyle both felt like the upgrade in diaper size could have happened about a week or so ago, but I insisted on her using the rest of the newborn diapers in the open pack (like I need a bunch of random newborn diapers hanging around). SO she used the last newborn diaper and I got to open up a pack of size ones. 🙂 They grow up so fast.

We had Chloe’s baby blessing at church today. That’s the main reason my family is visiting right now. Chloe is so beautiful in her blessing dress.

In addition to my family coming up from California, Liesl & Ian came up too. Roine brought his kids out for the blessing. Karen came with her good friends the Hasenjagers (who actually are from my home stake in California). My mom’s good friend Joyce came over from the Ranches. And Debby brought her fiance, Jeff out for the blessing.

Chloe’s was the first of 4 baby blessings (3 of which were baby girls), and then there was a confirmation. So after that and all the announcements and business there wasn’t much time left over for testimonies. After Sunday school & Relief Society/Priesthood, we came home and had a nice lunch of deli meats and some yummy watermelon, and I made 4 quarts of blueberry ice cream and 4 quarts of banana ice cream for dessert. Yumm. It was so nice to get together and and have our family and good friends with us for the afternoon.

Chloe had her 2 week well child check up today. She’s not quite back up to her birth weight yet, but after the appointment we stopped by the hospital to find out what her discharge weight was and she has actually gained some weight back so that’s good. They want us to come back later this week for a weight check, but other than that she is looking good and healthy, which makes me happy.
