Bring on the FOOD

Chloe has been showing all the signs of being ready for solid food lately. She's been watching us intently as we eat and even moving her mouth as we chew. We thought it was time to show the little monkey what the fuss was all about!

bring it on!


here we go


ummm... i dont know about this...


I'm happy to report she has tried the pablum a few times since, and each time she eats more and makes the faces less! :)

Down by the bay

We went to visit our friends Dax and Catherine who live on Ioco Road in Port Moody - what a beautiful spot!

Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses

Chloe is all about the protective eyewear - and just like they wear them in Hollywood... the bigger the better!!

Chloe is really gettin around these days...

Hand me downs

Chloe is a very lucky little girl. With two older cousins - she gets to use a lot of the things they have now outgrown. Chloe is happy about that (so are her parents!!) Holly on the other hand, we're not sure how she feels about giving up her things...

"hey mommy... isn't this MY exersaucer?"


"yes this IS mine!!"

A Little QT with Grandma

Quality time with Grandma Koga

Let's Fish!

It was a big weekend for the Koga Family! Steve's company had a fishing derby up at Tunkwa Lake just past Merrit, and we could not pass up the opportunity to take Chloe for her first camping trip. We loaded up the 5th Wheel and we were off!

Does Chloe have enough to play with?

Ummm... isn't it supposed to be nice this weekend?


Finally made it! A little colder than expected...

Where is Summer?

Chloe is ready for desert like conditions... bring on the sun!!

Take that Paris Hilton!

The best accesssory ever.

Jump Around!

It was an exciting day for Chloe when she got to experience the jolly jumper for the first time. She didn't do a lot of jumping, but she sure liked it!
