Looking slightly more wind-swept (or is that bed-head?) Chloe models some of Nan-nan’s finest knitting in the rainbow chair…

Tadpole

Saturday morning Hannah and Christian took Chloe for her very first swim. Hannah reports: “Chloe loved the pool - we were in there for about 30 mins - there were no tears or grizzles just smiles and giggles - she loved it. I think she loved posing as she was BY FAR the smallest person in the pool and yes, everyone was staring at how cute she was. Not sure who was posing more, Chloe or her dad. Christian insisted he carry her out of the changing room to the pool - the proud dad, very sweet!”

Oprah!

Well, Lo and I were only on the episode for about a minute, but from Oprah, we’re happy to accept table scraps. We’re still glowing from the fact that Oprah actually said our names!!

Poorly

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Chloe would like to apologize for the lack of Chloe photos lately, but she’s had a terrible cold and so has not felt like posing much. According to her mum, she has barely got out of her PJs. And without a new fancy outfit to show off, a photo shoot just didn’t feel the same. This is what a pint-sized cold looks like… no fun at all (though still ridiculously cute, it must be said!).

From Big Country House: Ultra

Monday, September 24th, 2007

We’re doing a bit of cross-promotion here, as they say in the biz! Today’s post comes to you courtesy of Rob at BigCountryHouse.com. He says:

Here’s the scan from last week’s appointment, wherein we found out that “it” is a she. We were surprised by how ambiguously the news was presented. The tech said something like, “I’d say it’s a pretty good possibility that we’re probably looking at a girl here.”

So, here she probably is:

They also gave us a snapshot from another angle, where all we could see were the soles of her feet. It’s hard to see exactly what’s what with these scans, but I know the Hang Ten logo when I see it.

Thumbsucker

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

When Emily came to Oxford for a chill-out day with Hannah and Chloe, Chloe got into the swing of things and fully embraced “chilling out”…

Though she’s still working on her thumbsucking skills: she’s found the thumb, but hasn’t figured out how to make the fist yet…

Emily explains to Chloe that she’s still a little young for one of Emily’s famous mani-pedi’s…
