Choooo Choooo!!!!

When I was working on Friday, Daddy decided he would take Chase to see Grampy's train. It was a beautiful day to be outside!


All Aboard!!!


You think Chase is lucky just to sit on the train... well that's not all... Chase actually got to help Grampy DRIVE the train, blow the horn, and make a delivery!!!








I love the look on Chase's face here... it's like he was sneaking to blow the horn. (But I heard he was actually to afraid to blow the horn himself)


What a fun day! I am sure Chase was in heaven, seeing as how trains are just about the coolest thing ever to him. Thanks Grampy!!!

Stacking Blocks

The last pictures we had taken at Sears, the photographer gave Chase some blocks to play with. He really liked them so we got him some for Christmas. The photographer had commented that she was impressed he was stacking three blocks, and said that was really good for his age.... well if she could see him stacking now!!!

Yeah! I got three again!


and FOUR...


SIX...


Notice the concentration...


His tallest tower ended with TEN blocks. I was so proud of him!!! And he was pretty proud of himself!

Toddler Bed Tryout

We let Chase try out a toddler bed. He was having trouble sleeping, and I had the bright idea that it was because he wanted out of his crib. He wanted out of his crib alright, he just didn't want to EVER sleep, and the toddler bed made it oh so easy for that! I have come to the conclusion that for those short 3 or so hours that I let him sleep in bed with Danny and I on Christmas eve, he thought he would get to do that all the time if he cried enough. In any case, here are a few photos of his one and only night of the toddler bed. He is now back, HAPPILY, in his CRIB bed, not crying and sleeping through the whole night again.

Helping Daddy put the bed together...


What a big helper!


I think he likes it!


You see that crazed look in his eye? That is the look of someone too young to handle this new found freedom!
