Most of our time away from home was spent at my mom's house in Thiensville, Wisconsin. We bunked with my mom in her two bedroom condo. Ususally, my mom would head to work and we'd fritter the day away walking, visiting, and lunching with friends. Sometimes we'd drive in to work with my mom, hijack her car for the day and visit with pals in the Milwaukee area. We were also able to spend some time with my grandma, Chloe's great grandma, who we affectionately call grandma 
squared (since she's grandma twice over).One of the coolest things about our visit was that Chloe started crawling! It was just a few jilted moves at first but she improves at her crawling skills every day. She also pulled herself up to standing for the first time at my mom's house (literally on my mom). It was awesome to have my mom there to experience those firsts!
Did I mention we did a lot of visiting? :) For a social bug like me, it was great fun to share Chloe with our loved ones. It did get a bit wearing though. Chloe was a trooper; she is the most flexible and adaptable baby I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of most of the friends we visited (I was usually too busy handling Chloe and all her gear). For those of you that know these folks, we fellowshipped with the Hindmans, the Schuylers, the Horns (Sam's clan), and the Griffiths.
My mom gave us a much needed date night and babysat Chloe. She's the only babysitter I trust! She took Chloe to the park for a picnic. Looks like they had a grand ole time.
Me and my expressionless baby girl. Don't worry Chloe, I've got expressions enough for both of us.
Chloe really liked baby Jeremiah Lepien. I think she might have a crush on him.

great pics! I love that you call your great grandma "grandma squared" and it sounds like you had a blast visiting w/old pals. Here's hoping you can find a good babysitter where you live so date nights can continue!! :-)

Congratulations Chloe on the crawling! Now your mom is going to have a hard time keeping up with you!
