Fall Fun

Here we are enjoying a wonderful fall weekend! Chase is very curious about the falling leaves. Everywhere we go the leaves are blowing around. We set him on the ground to play with the leaves and he actually got a little dirt under his nails. It was really cute, although I had to scrub him carefully before the hands went into his mouth. The weather here has been great- cool but not cold. I am very nervous about what we will do when winter actually sets in :(

Grammy Love

We just finished up the most wonderful week. My mother decided to come for a visit- alone. Not that I don't love my Dad, because I do- deeply, but it is nice to have some girl time. We got to shop and visit my Aunt Christy and a museum in the city. She even made it in time to come to music class with us. Chase loves his Grammy very much. They play and laugh at each other so much that it is impossible to feed him when she is around. He will settle in to eat and then fling back to see what she is doing. He can't stand to take his eyes off of her for more than a minute for fear he will miss something exciting. The real problem is my mom can't resist him, whenever he looks her way she can't help but do something silly to make him laugh. It is pretty funny! The second picture is my mom participating in our evening mail activity, where Chase rips apart a magazine. He gets so wound up that he screams as he grabs handfuls of paper trying to shove everything into his mouth. He is quite excitable!

Show Mommy How The Piggies Eat

It all started so innocently. Ryan made it home early for dinner and we were sitting peacefully feeding the baby peas and carrots. I remembered this article I had just read that said you should let your baby experiment with their food. So I put some food on his tray. It was so cute, he was just pushing it around, making a mess. We got pictures and then I grabbed the video camera. As I flick the on button I hear a choking noise and turn to see Chase with his fingers down his throat. I pulled them out, but it was too late. He started puking, throw up was going everywhere. I started screaming for Ryan, who was in the bathroom. We finally got him out of the highchair and he just looks up at us like, "woo, what just happened" then smiles.
I have been teasing that Chase is battling bulemia.
Other than that, this week has been busy with music class, playdates, and friends from college. We have been practicing how to crawl but so far we can just get up on our hands and knees. I can't wait to see him crawl but the idea of having to chase him around all day is a bit scary.
