11 Months!

Chase is only 2 days away from his 11 month milestone. "They" always say that once you have kids, time flies. Well let me just be one of "them" and say that indeed, this year is literally flying by. Every day with Chase is so much fun. He is getting more inquisitive by the minute and I love to just sit and watch him investigate all the little things in life. He is really quite independent and driven. When it comes to walking, I find that he makes the most progression when he doesn't realize I am watching him and he is able to focus on his own. As soon as he knows I have been watching him, he laughs and wants to play.

Last week Chase got his first Chuck'E'Cheese experience....he had a blast while I was having visions of the years to come...Chuck'E'Cheese, Disneyland, Sea World...oh the list goes on (and I'm a little scare by it all)!

Monica & Sofia

Hey Chuck, do you know how to start this thing?

The Pulliams & Merrills came over for football last week and Chase didn't want Uncle Ryan to put him down!

Stephine got some bonding time in with little Skylar...

Future firefighter?

Chase is a little early for Halloween...

More tunnel time...Chase loves his tunnel!

I took this video a couple of days ago and already it is outdated... he is so much faster now!

Peek A Boo

It's Christmas Time at Costco! Last weekend, we took our weekly trip to Costco. Sadly, this is always one of the highlights of my week. Tells you a lot, doesn't it? So, there our little family was, trekking through the aisles in search of a great deal when when we stumbled upon the Christmas aisles in full effect (keep in mind we still have 3 digit weather!) and found the greatest play thing ever....For $30 bucks we got a tent, a clubhouse, and two tunnels. All of which look ridiculous in my family room but Chase is in LOVE....here he is playing peek a boo in his tent. I see many a fort being built in our future!

I had to cut the video a little short so my computer didn't freak out upon upload...

Busy!

What a couple of weeks this has been. From birthdays to showers, to moving to my dad's for a week so our house could be replumbed (all I can say about that is DUST)....this has been a very busy month so far. We have had so much fun wrapping up the summer with friends and family. The weather is still in triple digits, but there is a part of me that is ok with that because we are going to celebrate Chase's first birthday outdoors and I definitely want the weather to be warm enough!

Chase is charging right ahead in his attempts at walking. He pushes everything he can across the floor (a video would be appropriate...I'll work on that!) and he is so proud of his every move. He is still too wabbly to stand on his own but he is definitely preparing. He also cut his top two teeth so he has a total of four chompers. The last two were a breeze compared to the first two...let's hope that trend continues!

My attempt at getting a picture of Chase's top teeth. I think I failed...but he's cute anyway!

Here Chase is with his emotion flashcards. Apparently he would rather crawl on his emotions rather than work on them. I think I may write to Baby Einstein to let them know that "intended for ages 9 months and up" is only if you intend to let your infant eat them. Chase is eating Pho for his first time. If you are in Vegas, try Saigon 8 over at Eastern & the 215. It is really good - and that is saying a lot because I am usually not a fan! Loving that Chase holds his own bottle - nothing like multi tasking (driving and feeding at same time)!
