I got a promotion!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I received a promotion yesterday! Yep - after all of this time as a house cleaner, diaper changer, short order chef, clothing shopper, etc., Quinn gave me a promotion. He yelled for me to come & wipe his butt and pronounced me the "Queen of Wiping My Butt".
Sad but true.

She said MOMMY!!!!

Keep praying - it is working!!! Last week at my parents house, Chloe starting saying "Baboo, Baboo, Baboo". Sounded like baboon without the N. Anyway, after she did that for a couple days, I said, "Coco, say "dadoo" and she did!!! So we did "dadoo", "baboo", "mamoo", etc. We did that for a day or so and I tried "Daddy"! She said it PERFECTLY. So, we would hear her in the backseat softly saying "Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy..." She even said it to Joe over the phone. I finally went for the motherload (no pun intended). I said, "Say Mommy" and...she did! Now, Mommy & Daddy may not sound too exciting to most of you but if you waited 3 years and 3 months (exactly) to hear Mommy - you might post a blog too :).

Just so you know, this is a natural progression. From mama, dada, papa, etc. to baboo, gaga googoo, etc. to mommy, daddy, nanny (she also said nanny). I am prayerful that we keep up this great progress.

Today she said, "Amy". This is her teacher at school. How exciting.

Please keep the prayers coming and spread the word to your friends & family that are believers. Thanks to those of you praying for Chloe's speech. Feel free to throw in Quinn's name too - we still have plenty of work to do with him as well.

Just Kidding

Just a quick post to let people know that I was joking about the Blarney Stone! We have had two people (that we know of) that have taken me seriously. I was being sarcastic (hard to believe, huh?) as I know the Blarney Stone won't do anything compared to what we can do with prayer! Please pray for Chloe's speech!
