Chloe's First Year Part I...

continued from Chloe\'s First Christmas Picture..

Paul,

She is a little doll. Having a grand-daughter I can just imagine what you two are feeling. Looks like Grandma is coming along fine also. Thank God!

Bert

Sue was thrilled after the doctor told her at her last check-up that she could now lift more than 7lbs.. It was Chloe here we come...

Sue I know how you feel!
What a precious little girl. I know you are just beside yourself!
Grand parents are sooo lucky... aren't we?


Pam

It was Grandpaul's turn today..

Great medicine for Grandma and Grandpa!

Chloe has such great flirty eyes and smile Just melts your hearts doesn't she.

Chloe has to be the happiest baby I've ever seen. Either that, or grandpa deletes all the not-happy pictures from his digital camera.

This e-baby stuff is so fun! It's like I have a granddaughter, which is a thought I'm just going to make go away now.

Such a cutiepie!! Each picture shows more of her personality. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her.

She is an adorable baby, great smile. Good to see Sue holding and enjoying Chloe again. God bless you all, and we'll see you at the HLC meeting.

Today was a very special Easter in the Brady family.
Granddaughter, Chloe, was baptized at St Agnes Church in Ft Wright, KY. Godmother Lee Ann holds Chloe while Father Brian baptizes her. Godfather John watches.

Lee Ann is a wonderful neighbor who lives across the street from Barb, Chloe and Chad. Lee Ann is a nurse and gave Barb many heparin shots when pregnant. John is the Sports photographer at the TV station (where Barb and Chad first met) where Chad is a news photographer in Cincinnati. John is a great friend of both Chad and Barb and was in their wedding.

Blessings to Chloe!

That's a pretty cool coincidence. Ryan (7 months old now) was baptized last night at a special Easter weekend Saturday ceremony where 7 other infants/ toddlers were also baptized. The ceremony started outside the church with a small 'bonfire' to light the ceremonial candles, then a processional into the church where all the children in attendance gathered around the floor in a circle where the story of Easter was read to them. The baptisms were next, and then we all moved into the main cathedral for mass. Was a really beautiful ceremony, based on one of the most earliest of Easter rituals.

God bless Chloe and Ryan and their families.

GrandPaul and Grandma have been going through Chloe withdrawl (almost 4 weeks) and Chad and Barb are bringing her over for Grandmother's Day... I thought I should update the thread with an image that Chad shot a couple of weeks ago and emailed..

What a "QT Pie"!

Absolutely gorgeous! You are all very lucky to have such a sweet grandaughter. Bless you all!

Cathy-----not a grandma yet...

Mother's Day..

Mom's Lilacs are in full bloom!!

She's beautiful! Isn't it great being a grandparent! Keep the photos coming Paul.

Bert

What a blessing.

A child full of smiles and love surrounded by people who love her dearly and doubly blessed by parents who went through so much before she arrived.

Smile Chloe! God is happy!

What a beautiful little treasure. Grandbabies are the greatest and she's a real doll.
Judy

Sue & Paul...she is just the cutest Love to see pictures of such a happy baby... Way to go Chloe!!!

Chad sent me some images from their trip down on the farm this past weekend.. I am posting one that shows Chloe's first horseback ride.. The lady holding Chloe is Chad's best friend and Best Man's mom, Lana.. Lana helped raise Chad from first grade on up.. Lana and her husband Tom (retired firefighter) have a farm now in Southern Indiana.. Tom went to grade school and high school with Sue..



Ride em Chloe!!!

Those little tikes sure do grow fast!!

What a blessing!

Pam

Looking at that picture of GrandPaul and Chloe I have to assume that her head of hair came from the other side of the family!

Mike

WOW!! Has Chloe ever grown, what a cute little cowgirl. And check out the sandles she is wearing, Barb sure dresses her up darling. God Bless you all.

Kat & Larry

Chloe Memories on Memorial Day..


First playing with Dad!


Then it's GrandPaul's turn!!


Chloe's first solid foods!!


Smiling in my new Intellitainer!!


Oh my gosh!!

Isn't it amazing how much personality little ones develop in such a short time. She is obviously a happy and loved baby! The expression on her face in the pictures with her daddy & her GrandPaul tells the whole story!

Paul and Sue,
Telephones just don't hack it when it comes to babies. Pics are great, but there's nothing like the real thing. I was holding my 10 day old great-granddaughter (surrogate, but a doll never-the-less) last week and thought of you. Rodgers and Hammerstein came up with "There's nothing like a dame". And from long experience I gotta say "there's nothing like a baby girl", they'll melt your heart. Continue to enjoy thru the teens and beyond. Bless you. Love to all. And thanks to the telephone crew who still keep in mind

The Ancient Mariner

P.S. I'm beginning to have positive thoughts that I'm gonna make the reunion. Better have. I leave a week fom next Sunday. Clear the highways, leadfoot is on the loose.

Paul & Sue,
I was on vacation when you posted the latest. We're jealous as can be! Although we love our Granddogs...
I love how her little personality comes out through her eyes and smile.

Fred,
Safe journey, and I'll see you in Mackinau. I still remember the last time I saw you arriving at the end of the LI Regional with much celebration from those in attendance.

Bob

Guess who stopped over to the Harbour Lights Midwest Museum to see her GrandPaul this past weekend!!






Check out those eyelashes!!

Grandma Sue is spending the week with Chloe and her parents.. So GrandPaul gets to see her again this weekend when I pick up Sue..
