Big Wheels!



What a big boy! He took his first spin on his new wheels today. My parents bought him this awesome tricycle. It is a stroller/tricycle so it allows us to lock the steering, freeze the petals and buckle him in since he is still small but as he grows it converts to a regular tricycle. He was loving riding down the street like a big boy. We took it to the park and played for a while this morning.

I have forgotten to update everyone about Chase's walking- Chase is a full blown WALKER! He toddles all around the house. His main source of entertainment these days is walking back and forth across the living room/foyer. He was doing really good walking a few weeks ago and then took a pretty big fall, hitting his face on a wooden chair. That accident set us back, he insisted on holding people's hand for the next week. But slowly he started taking short trips on his own until about a week ago when he just took off. Now he just walks like a regular person, he can walk over the thresholds in the house, keep himself from falling when he begins to wobble, even bend down and pick things up and then continue on his way.

It is so cute to watch this tiny person walk around!

Bring on the SUN




We have been enjoying the most beautiful weather! We met our friends at a park over by their house on Tuesday, had a picnic lunch and played on the playground. I actually got sunburned, can you imagine- sunburned!! It has been months since we have seen the sun. It has been great to get out and play outside when we get bored.
Here are some pictures of us at a nearby park. They have been reseeding so hopefully we will have lush grass by summer. Chase is totally amazed with grass and dirt. We really don't have much of it around us. The playground we go to is cement and rubber so this park is really the only time he gets to see grass :( Hopefully, he will have a yard all of his own soon.

Birthday Picts

This is Chase's smash cake. In hind sight the black frosting was not a good idea.



This was the only picture we got with a smile:( Poor baby. Chase slept through the lunch- he needed a nap.
