Chloe Pix

When Julia arrived, we had signed up for Yahoo! photos just prior, and so we could upload and make public every last photo that we took. We took so many and so many similar that people wondered if something was wrong with Yahoo! photos because it appeared to be showing duplicate photos. It was faster and easier to upload everything than to wade through it all. Since Yahoo! photos has closed up shop, we now have to pick and choose what we want to show. We'll do our best to pick some good ones so far. We have something on the order of one-third as many photos with Chloe as with Julia.

Speaking of Julia, here is a photo of the sisters. Julia has been working hard on all the concepts and vocabulary that come with her latest new role in life. She figured out somewhere along the way that Chloe was only in Mommy's tummy and not also in her own tummy. And she was saying "sister" with great sincerity, but little indication if she knew what it meant exactly. On the other hand, Julia has taken to saying, "Rosie, too!" which is a common quote from the television show "Caillou" that we let her watch almost daily. Caillou is a four year old boy and Rosie is his two-year old sister. So we think this is a good sign that she's getting some idea of what's happening.
