Thank the Lord for Seasons.

Chloe is the beautiful child that we hoped for, dreamed about and prayed for before she was even born.

We love Chloe, we really do.

But we live in real life and this blog can't always make us sound like our lives are perfect...

Chloe knows what she wants. She points to what she wants and cries or grunts and groans until we give it to her. This ends up in her crying almost every second she is awake. We appreciate advice like, "You shouldn't give into her crying" or "Let her cry, she'll get over it". We know that advice is good and we know in a perfect world it would be great advice to follow.

Sometimes though, it is just easier and less headache causing to give her what she wants. This, of course, leads to a nasty cycle. We know.

Chloe has the most determined facial expressions. She sweats because everything she does or communicates to us is so emotional. We asked the doctor if something was wrong with her. The doctor said that Chloe is just frustrated that she can't communicate with us. The doctor suggested we try sign language with Chloe. We're not into that.

So for now, this is a Season. We live in Duluth because we love Seasons. This Season is not our favorite, but we know the next Season will bring something new and exciting. We are looking forward to the change in Season.

God bless you, Chloe. We really do love you just like you are.
