First Haircut

We finally broke down and took Chase for his first haircut. We love his sweet curls and have been dragging our feet worried that he would look too grown up. But the time came when his hair got a bit unruly, Ryan turned to me and said "I think it is time for that haircut." So we went to a cute little kids place. He got to sit in a jeep and was good as gold (for most of it). The cape started to make him uncomfortable in the end but overall he was just curious about what was happening. They gave us lots of locks and even a certificate.
Both of us were pleasantly surprised at how cute it looks- much neater but still curly and wild :)

My Gym

We have recently joined a new class at My Gym. I had heard great things about this new Gymboree type class not far from the house and decided we would check it out for fun. I hadn't really thought we would join as we will be busy traveling this summer. But from the minute we entered this gym Chase's face lit up and he just ran around smiling and dancing through the whole class. They play great 80's music with this beat going that Chase was really getting into to, it was pretty funny. He is totally in love with the ball pit, although he doesn't exactly know what to do in there. They have a great system where you oscillate between free play and formal activity. Sometimes the activities are swings or an airplane zip line or balance beam, all kinds of interesting stuff that changes each week. So needless to say I couldn't resist. We are loving it so it is worth every penny.

Ribbit!

Here is my little ham, posing for his photo shoot. Chase is getting so big. He has been talking up a storm lately. He looks straight at you and says something that looks so important but incomprehensible. We have been working very hard on learning some words. We have managed to get the B sound but mostly he uses it to say Bob. Chase is eating just like a big boy. He is totally weaned and is drinking all of his milk from a cup. He even walks to the fridge and starts calling when he wants something to eat. Even his sleep is much improved. He sleeps at least 7 hours straight before waking for a little cuddle before going back to bed. Ryan and I are both getting a lot more rest now that we don't have a little squirmer in the middle.
