New adventures

Hi everyone! It's been a busy week here at the King house, but I have a minute to update you on Chloe's adventures... First and foremost, we went to the doctor yesterday (Monday) for another weight check, and we are happy to report that Chloe now weighs 7lbs, 9oz. Yea! That means that she gained 7 1/2 oz since last Monday, right on track for what she should be gaining. That makes mommy and daddy feel much better!
We also had our first night without Daddy; and can you believe we survived?! B had a trip on Sat. night, and so he left around 6:30. Chloe decided to play an evil trick on me and stay awake until 12:30 that morning (yes, wide awake from about 5pm till 12:30). Then Brandon was supposed to be home around 11 that Sunday morning, but the plane broke and he didn't get home till 10pm that night. Needless to say, we were very happy to see him that night, and also very happy that our dear friend Lauren came to visit for a few hours that day--it was nice to have visitors from the outside! :)
Let's see, what else? We are very grateful for the good sleeper that Chloe is--most nights she sleeps right through, about seven hours at a stretch. If she does wake up, it's usually only once a night, she eats and then goes right back out. A miracle, we know! It's funny how we still feel tired though...
Chloe also had her first official bath last night--her umbilical cord stump finally fell off. She enjoyed the real bath much better than the sponge baths she'd been getting. Below are some pictures from that adventure and also a cute shot from this morning. Hope everyone is doing well and check back soon! Love, Brandon, Charlotte, and Chloe


Hmmm, what's happening here?


Ahhhh!! What are you doing to me?!!



Hey, well, that's not so bad...


Binkie makes it all better...

So glad she is gaining weight and sleeping well! We have that same bathtub and McK loves it! That binkie is bigger than she is! What a honey!

Just wanted to say I loved spending the day with you all. It was great. Unbelievable she looks like she is growing like a weed. I mean I know I just saw her on Thanksgiving but wow she looks so much bigger. See you all real soon. All my love, Mom

What a great sleeper she is! None of mine ever slept that long so soon. She's so precious!
