Mama was off today, and first thing in the morning, she took Sam for a walk, and Nanaw took Chase to Laptime at the Clayton Library. When everybody was back home, they went to Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch. Then they went to Babys R Us, and Mama bought Chase a new walker that has all kinds of neat things to do on it. Next, they went to Gravois Bluffs to go clothes shopping for Mama. She’s lost so much weight that she needs new clothes. They went to Penney’s, Target, Kohl’s, the Five Dollar store. In the evening, Daddy, Mama and Chase went to the Fairmount Race Track with Uncle Will-Bill. Chase got to see the horses close up, and he seemed to like them.

Today is Chase’s nine-months’ birthday! Mama took the day off to go to the Cardinals’ afternoon baseball game with Daddy and Uncle Mike. In the morning, Mama, Chase, Sam and Nanaw went for a long walk. Then Mama and Nanaw did a photo session with the birthday boy to get his nine-month’ photo. Chase sat on Mama’s bed and played with hangers while Mama cleaned out her closet in preparation for tomorrow’s clothes-shopping adventure. Chase is also going to get an exciting toy tomorrow at Babys R Us: a new walker that he can push around. Chase was fascinated with Uncle Mike when he came over and stared at him. Uncle Mike says sometime he and Aunt Becky will come to play with Chase, just the three of them. Chase and Nanaw watched the baseball game and were happy when their Cardinals won!

Chase and Nanaw went for a chilly early morning walk with Chase all bundled up. Chase spent the morning zooming around in his bugaboo chair, which seems to be his favorite thing. He’s been playing with his new sippy cup but we’re not sure he knows how to drink from it. Today, after his nap in his crib, Nanaw saw that he’d managed to get out of his jeans all by himself. One of Chase’s latest activities seems to be trying to take down the safety things his Mama and Daddy put up in the living room: the plastic cover over the TV controls and the rubber facing around the edges of the fireplace hearth. Chase is getting his 4th tooth, on the right on top. It seems like his two top teeth are incisors, rather than his two front teeth but we're sure they won't be vampire fangs. Mama went to dinner with her friend Lisa at Tequila’s so Daddy and Chase had another evening together. Sam’s toy of the day is his white loofah snowman, courtesy of Chase, who pulled it out of Sam’s toy box.

Chase came to Nanaw's house for the day while Mama worked at home. First thing, Chase and Nanaw went for a walk in Nanaw's subdivision, and Chase fell asleep during the walk, something he hasn't done for awhile. The adventure of the day was attending a new Laptime at the Tesson Ferry Library. There were more than 10 children there, four grandmas and two daddies. As usual, Chase's favorite thing seemed to be watching the other children and smiling and laughing at them. He seemed to like digging into the basket of books that Miss Lisa put out for the children to look at. Nanaw came over in the evening for an experimental dinner -- delicious baked spaghetti.

Chase and Nanaw couldn’t go for an early morning walk because it was raining. So for awhile in the morning, Chase spent time in his high chair, playing with toys and eating his sweet potato Puffs – little cereal pieces from Gerber’s. He played in the living room, first in his bugaboo chair and then crawling around. He discovered the cat toy with the ball in the track and seemed to have fun playing with it. Mama went to dinner and clothes shopping with Aunt Becca so Daddy and Chase had an evening alone together. Sam’s toy of the day was his cock-a-doodle rooster.

Mama, Daddy and Chase had a football and baseball party at the WE Bar Sunday afternoon with Uncle Mike, Aunt Becky, Nichole (and her boyfriend Joe), Natalie with her fractured ankle – and Nanaw who came late. Chase looked super in his Rams jersey and jeans with a zipper. The Rams and the Cardinals both won their games – Yay, Teams! Dinner was chicken kabobs, party potatoes, salad, a Rams chocolate chip cookie, and peanut butter / chocolate bars that Aunt Becky made. Everybody said Chase was doing his shaking his head no during the day but he wouldn’t do it for Nanaw.

Nanaw came to visit baby Chase Saturday morning before she went to Aspenhof. Chase was crawling around the living room while Mama and Daddy watched, and he seemed to have a grand time playing with his fire engine and his other cars and trucks. Chase’s adventure for the day was going with Daddy and Sam out to visit Grandma Pat and Aunt Patty. He wore his overalls, and Mama sent Nanaw a picture of the outfit. Nanaw sent Chase a picture of his kitties stretched out on the bed at the little house.
