Long sleeve pajama's are no match for the Great Houdini Chase! Behold the mystical wonder of "how did he get that off and sleep like that?" And yes folks, it is only my right side that I disrobe.

Also check out my railing, notice that I have now gotten a few new teeth in. The crib rail is no match for my super teeth!

Below is a new video mom took of me performing my death defying 1st long walk across the new rug! OOOOOhhhh AWWWWW

Happy Halloween

2008-10-31T12:31:00.002-04:00

I am just Monkeying around these days. I love bananas, I get to share one with Daddy every morning. Copper and Baker get a little piece in their bowls too. One morning Daddy was peeling his banana and he had an audience patiently waiting for a piece.

Baker and Copper where sitting nicely on either side of me on the floor and the three of us were looking up at the beautiful banana and dad. Mom didn't have her camera but if she did it would have been hard for her to take the picture laughing so hard!

Mommy had a hard time figuring out what pics to post so she just picked a bunch for you to see!

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-31T12:26:00.002-04:00

I got to go to my first pumpkin patch with Grandma. We had such a good time, but I didn't know what to do with all those pumpkins!

The clean up

Oh yes.... I was a mess. Thank you all for celebrating my birthday month with me. I think mom and Aunt Lori did a bang up job on the photos. If you liked them send me a note saying so! We had so much fun celebrating and I can't wait for next year's cake!

Here is what was left when Nana picked me up! I think I did a pretty good job for my first Cake Smash.

It has been a great year of learning new things and experiencing them with you too. This whole blog started as a way of sharing my new experiences with a few family members and we have picked up some new friends along the way. Stay tuned for all the new fun stuff I experience in the next year!

You would be surprised at all the spots Icing can hide. I tried to store some away, but Nana found all my hiding spots!

Wait a minute.... you are washing all my icing off... NOOOOOOOO

Love to you all

Big Boy now - Chase
