New Elmo Chair

Chase climbs on the couch and all of our chairs all the time, so we decided that maybe he would enjoy a chair more his size. We went to the store and put out an Elmo chair and a car chair and let Chase pick which one he liked better. He didn't even give the car chair a thought, he started out just patting the Elmo chair. We asked him if he was sure, and he literally picked the Elmo chair up all by himself and headed to the check out stand... The strength of Chase never ceases to amaze me.








***Chase has one bottle a day, the bottle before bed. We are going to stop that cold turkey on August 1st!! I hope all goes well, it seems to be part of his bedtime routine right now, maybe he will adjust to a night time sippy cup...

Splash Park with Daddy

On Daddy's day off last week we all went to Mohawk park and this splash park was cool...









I love this picture... my boys have identical expressions!!!

Spaghetti Dinner

Chase had his first spaghetti dinner and he loved, LOVED, LOOOOVED it! You can probably tell by the sound of his mmmmmm-ing in the videos how much he liked it. I didn't even have to cut the noodles up, he was happy to slurp the long spaghetti in without my help!

Splash Park with Nathan

My friend Samantha and I try to get together on Tuesday's for play dates. Today we met at the Riverwalk splash pad. Chase and Sam's son Nathan are future best friends I can already tell....









Chase trying to dry out...


After the boys had their fill of the water, we went to the arcade and they had a blast. It's such cheap entertainment, you can just set them up by a game and they think they are playing even though we never put money in...









What should we do next???


Basketball!!! Yaaaaa!!!


Good shot Nathan!




Now let's dance!!!




What a fun morning!!!

Doggie Door Daredevil

Storytime LIVE!!

We took Chase to see Storytime LIVE the other night. He LOVED it. He recognized all the music and sat on our laps just bouncing and dancing!!! It was too cute. But I am really bummed because after our meal at McDonald's, the camera's batteries were dead, and I did not have a spare to put in. So we didn't get any pictures of Dora, Ni-Hao Kai-lan, Wonder Pets, The Backyardigans, OR Moose and Zee!!! I tried to take a few on the cell phone, but it just looked like some glowing people on stage without a flash to use. Oh well. So here are the two pictures at McDonald's, Chase ate his first hamburger Happy Meal, he usually gets chicken nuggets.

Coloring

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!!

Summer Fun!!!

Chase is enjoying every moment of his first summer of walking! Here are a few photos of what he's been up to...

Sprinklers...



Of course, more ZOO time.... It's almost as if the animals were posing for pictures this time too!!





And our first trip to the bouncy barn!!! We met my friend Samantha and her son Nathan here, we had so much fun, and then we went to McDonald's, Chase came home and was pooped out!!! He went right down for a nap!








Finally some cabinets it's OK to open and close!!!

The bouncy barn wore Chase out!!!!
