Chase and Nanaw went for a walk early in the morning, then Chase played on his new play area kingdom with lights and music. He also sat in his Bumbo chair and did a lot better – last time he cried and cried. In the afternoon, Chase and Nanaw went downstairs and Chase tried out the flying saucer that Teresa from the dentist’s office gave him. Sam’s toy of the day was the tiny woodchuck Mama bought for him at Target on Saturday’s shopping adventure.

On Sunday morning, Daddy put Chase in his Bumbo chair, and he and Sam sat looking out of the front door – you can see the reflection of Mama in the door at she snaps this cool photo. Sunday afternoon, Nanaw came to visit (delivering a Stefanina’s pizza to Mama and Daddy), and Chase showed off his new play area kingdom with lights and music. Sunday evening, Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky came to visit Chase at Nanaw’s house.

Chase went on a shopping adventure today with Mama and Nanaw. They went to Mama's favorite store, Babys R Us and bought birthday presents for Jackson. Plus, Chase got a huge new play area with music and lights and lots of things to look at. He also got bowls and plates for his solid food.They also went to Sports Authority, South County Mall and Target. They ate lunch at Applebee's but Chase wanted to be in motion instead of just sitting so he was a bit fussy. At the mall, Mama bought shoes and birthday presents for Daddy. She went to four sports stores at the mall and finally found what she was looking for at the fourth store. At Target, Mama bought Chase two toy boxes and baby sunscreen for his walks. Chase wore his shades for a brief moment only!

Chase spent the day at Nanaw's house on Friday. He wore the Winnie the Pooh outfit that belonged to Jackson, plus he had on shoes! He listened to the books "Hide and Sheep" and "Monster Faces." He played with his bear-bear blanket, his panda, his lion and all the toys hanging from his bouncy chair, rocking chair and play yard. he sat in his high chair while Nanaw fed him rice cereal again -- his second experience with a spoon and solid food. We don't think he actually swallowed anything yet.

Chase wore his romper today and looked so cute! Chase and Nanaw went for a walk, then Chase watched the Miss Spider DVD – he stared at the TV so maybe he really likes it. Sam’s toy of the day makes a snoring noise – Mama says it’s named Darth.

Chase had a difficult morning, with a slight fever as a reaction to the shots he got yesterday. He took some Tylenol, which helped make him his usual smiling, laughing self. Sam’s toy of the day was actually one he inherited from the cats.

Chase's big adventure today was "Laptime" at the Telegraph Road County Library. He listened to stories and songs. Three little girls and a little five-month boy named Thomas were there also. After the songs and stories, they all played on the floor with toys and books, and Chase and Thomas got to know each other. Chase spent the day at Nanaw's, then his Mama, Daddy and Nanaw took him to see Dr. Charles, where he got more shots! He weighs 15 pounds 1 ounce, is 25 1/2 inches long and his head is 17 inches in circumference. Nanaw came for dinner -- Mama made oregano pot roast in the crock pot. After dinner, Mama and Daddy tried feeding Chase rice cereal but he didn’t like it at all.

Monday. April 23, 2012

Today, for the first time, Chase rolled from his back to his tummy – and he did it several times. Then he rolled from his tummy to his back. We read the new books Nanaw bought for him, plus the Owl Babies book, the current favorite. Sam’s toy of the day was the black fuzzy tail of a cow, with a squeaker. Sam also found his own toy of the day and brought it to Nanaw.

Chase, Mama, Daddy and Sam went for a walk today in the rain so it was a really quick one. Daddy played a peek-a-boo game with Chase and his soft, fuzzy blanket, and Chase seemed to like it, smiling a lot. Chase wore what Mama calls his bugaboo outfit today. Mama bought Chase more outfits, plus a really special Chris Carpenter Cardinals’ jersey – Chase will soon learn that Carp is Mama’s favorite Cardinal. Nanaw came to visit and she and Mama got carried away with photos of Chase in the sunglasses Aunt Patty gave him and the ball cap from Aunt Becky. Chase is very patient with Mama and Nanaw and their silliness.

The Owl Babies book came today so Nanaw read that to Chase and took his picture with the book. Sam’s toy of the day was a bat.

Chase and Nanaw went for a short walk first thing this morning, then Chase had some tummy time on the living room floor. In the afternoon, Chase and Nanaw went downstairs to watch the Cardinals’ game (boo-hoo, they lost) and soap operas. Chase seemed to like lying on the floor and looking at the big TV screen. He also spent some time in his swing and seemed to like that also. Becky sent a hat for Chase. Sam’s toy of the day was a hot dog.

Chase had a day of lots of laughs and smiles, gooing and cooing. He and Nanaw went for a walk, then went downstairs for storytime/laptime – with the Mama and Daddy recorded books and the new Miss Spider book. Sam got shaved at the groomer yesterday and now looks like a terrier, like Maggie. His toy of the day is the new monkey from Mama’s secret pal.

Chase came over to Nanaw's house today and watched while the air conditioner man put freon in the A/C. He listened to Daddy's recorded book and the new Miss Spider book that Mama secretly packed in Chase's backpack as a surprise to Nanaw. After Mama was finished working, she and Chase and Nanaw went on a shopping adventure to Walmart, Best Buy, Marshalls, and Babys R Us. Chase got lots of new clothes and a puppy book -- Chase loves to go shopping!

Chase, Mama, Daddy and Sam went for a walk during the day. Nanaw came to visit in the evening and got to help give Chase a bath. He’s getting so big that he’s almost as long as the bathtub. Mama warned Nanaw that he’s much wigglier since the last time Nanaw helped with a bath but all went well.
