Chase and Nanaw had a great Laptime adventure today at the Mid-County Library in Clayton. There were more than 20 little boys and girls there, and Chase seemed delighted to have so many little people to look at. Two Daddies were there, along with three grandmas and lots of Mamas. The Clayton branch has Laptime every Friday morning, and Chase and Nanaw plan to go each week. One funny thing that Chase did for the first time was to try to take a toy away from another little boy. But the boy’s Mama managed to avert disaster by finding toys for both of them. In the afternoon, when Mama was done working, she and Chase and Nanaw went for a shopping adventure to Target and Party City. Mama bought Chase got a blue outfit with puppies on it, and Nanaw bought him a rubber ball and bubbles.

Chase and Nanaw went for an early morning walk but took a different route because there was a loose dog wandering around the street. Today is Sam’s second birthday, and we went to the WE Bar / Bistro and fed him the special birthday treat his Mama left for him. Chase seemed to have a great time in his bugaboo chair and then crawling around the living room playing with his toys. He seems to know the places he’s not supposed to get into, like the movies on the entertainment center or Sam’s toys, and those are the first places he goes. Sam’s toy of the day was his new blue puppy his Mama bought him for his birthday.

Chase and Nanaw went for an early morning walk, then went to the WE Bar / Bistro. It’s exciting that Chase is now able to sit from a crawling position. We’re telling him that he’s achieved all his milestones (crawling, sitting, standing) so he can now relax and rest on his laurels. Nanaw’s adventure today for Chase was to take out all his toys and spread them all over the living room floor. He seemed to have a grand time playing with toys new to him and toys he hadn’t seen for awhile. Nanaw sent Mama a photo of the living room floor covered with toys and she sort of freaked out. But Nanaw made sure the toys were all put away before Mama and Daddy got home from work. Sam’s toy of the day was his orange loofah. Tomorrow is Sam’s second birthday, and he gets a new toy. His Mama says because he’s two he’s no longer a puppy. But really he’ll always be our puppy.

Chase and Nanaw went for a walk in her subdivision and came upon an exciting, wonderful treasure: a beautiful bugaboo chair in perfect condition that one of the neighbors had put out for the trash. Chase and Nanaw had an adventure later in the morning, stopping by church to pick up a CD, then going to Walmart where Nanaw bought Chase a super-duper tiger outfit for Halloween or any other time. When Mama got off work, Chase, Mama and Nanaw went to Walmart for a shopping adventure. Then Nanaw came over for an experimental dinner of beef stroganoff in the crockpot with Durkee’s sauce that was delish. After dinner, Daddy, Mama, Chase and Nanaw went for a long walk. Chase is getting his third tooth – it’s on the top on the left.

Chase and Nanaw went for an early morning walk in Chase’s subdivision, with Chase all bundled up against the chilly morning air. After a long nap, Chase spent the rest of the morning zooming around the kitchen in his bugaboo chair. He played with the farm magnet toy on the refrigerator – sometimes the toy plays music all on its own, which is kind of spooky. In the afternoon, Chase watched Disney Jr. in the living room in his bugaboo chair, which we think might be his favorite thing right now. He even fell asleep in the bugaboo chair. He seemed to have fun playing with an empty water bottle and one of his new sippy cups. Sam’s toy of the day was his long orange animal.

Nanaw came to visit Chase on Sunday evening just before bath time. He has two new sippy cups and seems to enjoy playing with them. We’re not sure if he knows how to drink out of them – he mainly just chews on them. He played with his farm refrigerator magnet toy and managed to lose one of the pieces but mama found it in her and Daddy’s room. Mama bought Nanaw a refrigerator magnet at Schnucks that says Dog Grandma, and Chase spent a long while chewing on it before Nanaw took it home.

Nanaw visited Chase and Mama and Daddy before going out to Aspenhof. Chase was playing on the living room floor with his blocks, airplane, fire truck and cars and trucks. In the evening, Mama took a picture of Chase and Daddy in their Mizzou finery, ready to watch the football game with Aunt Becca and Uncle Stan.
