Growing Up Off the Blog

So, I have not posted lately because I am mad at blogster. None of our videos seem to work anymore. Could I have exceeded our bandwidth? But, I felt that it was unfair to punish Chase's public so here are some of the most recent updates...

Chase claps....
Grandma visits....

Chase laughs.....
Chase eats whole foods, like whole banana and whole egg yolk....

Sick Days are FUN!

Chase spent some of his sick day with his daddy in the morning, with his baby-sitter Aska at lunchtime (she's the photographer) and with his mommy in the afternoon. He's going to start faking illnesses to get this kind of one-on-one special attention.

Dogs are fun too.

"Standing"

After we spend so much time trying to make Chase laugh, he can put us into hysterics so easily.

Trouble Ahead

I let Chase try potatoes tonight. Afterward, he gave me this look like, "what's next?". You would never tell by the double chin below, but Chase actually lost 1/2 lb this week with his illnesses.

It was not till I saw Chase crawling up the walls that I realized I had forgotten to put on a new diaper. Considering his ability to stand up longer and longer, I think that we are heading for trouble. It is almost time to lower that crib mattress.

Before Bedtime

Sometimes we have to try so hard to make Chase laugh. It seems like whenever the camera is on, he clams up. Dave and I both worked hard tonight; I won the laughs.

Goof ball

Chase was at home having a ton of fun (evidently) while I was at the dentist office this morning. No one would have guessed that at the pediatrician's this afternoon, the doctor would confirm that Chase not only has RSV but also an ear infection. Don't feel too bad for him!
