I know I said I wouldn't...

But I just can't help it....(put up a bunch of videos that is)

These videos were taken yesterday in the field of the church, across the street. The one with Kita rolling on her back, had Chase very amused...(Just so you all know, she jumps up & licks him in the end...) ~Coral

This was taken this past weekend. Chase has no fear of water...He just loves it. I was sitting, getting ready to film him as Ian walked him out to the pools, and Chase hadn't even gotten to the water yet, and his feet were kicking, and his arms were waving!!! He was going crazy! He just loves being in the water!! It was pretty cute. I of course have a ton of videos, but as they seem to take forever to download on to here, I won't go too crazy with all of them! It was funny though, there was a man there (he was watching his kids at the pool) and he said "Oh, you needed a video camera for that" (because Chase had done something cute, and I had the digital camera with me at the time) And I said "Oh, I have that too, it's over there..." and he replied..I know, I was just teasing you, I saw you with that too! Is that your first?" he asked...."Yes." I said. "I was the same way too, and then when number two came along...I was happy if I got 4 minutes of video of the second!" We laughed...

I have to say, this was about a week and a half ago, and you should see him now. Yesterday after walking around the house all day, going up the stairs, we went to the mall, and he walked from one end to the other and then halfway back the other way again. I was walking ahead of him so he was trying to walk fast/run to catch me! I can't believe how fast it all changes!! Chase is 11 & 1/2 months old right now and still has only cut three teeth (two more are on their way though) wearing a size five diaper, walking very stable, eating lots, and generally such a happy baby...well....toddler I guess!!! Time flies...

Brad & Jaya has come over for a quick visit, and while they were in town they stopped over for a little while. I think it's pretty cute, although Jaya was enjoying her cookie very much, she still shared with Chase when her daddy told her too! Pretty cute!

Fletcher Falls

In the top picture the fish are spawning...It's pretty cool to think there is a waterfall just up ahead from where they are laying there eggs!!

Miss Jaya & Chase (And Brad too)

What happens to me...When Daddy dresses me!

I might only be 11 months old, but even I know that when I'm wearing shorts because it's hot outside, I shouldn't be wearing boots (especially when they are too big for me!) I also fear that Daddy might be colour blind...Do you see these colours??? Thank goodness for Mom, she changed me before we left the house!!

Pictures that I like ~ But they weren't all mine...

Chase & Harlan

Jammies...

I have so many cute clothes, so why does my mom always take pictures of me in my jammies...Well, I guess they are cute too...

~Chase

My boy and I ~ A good picture at last!

God, I love him....

Really...I had just gotten out of the shower

So my hair looks "greazy" but it's not, it's wet...I had just gotten out of the shower. And although it isn't a great picture of me, it's one of Chase & I together so here it is....

<---Birthday flowers. Aren't they beautiful?

And what does he do now?

Well, I already typed this all out once, and then hit a button, and accidentally deleted it all! Geez, that makes me angry...
Anyhow, enough about me, and on with it...about Chase! Have I mentioned lately how brilliant he is?
He will be 11 months on the 14th of September....ALREADY!! And he has been climbing stairs at record speeds for about a month, he has learned two new noises, one of which sounds like a grunting in the back of this throat (I can't do this one) and the other is, clicking his tongue off the roof of his mouth. He walks totally on his own around the house, and his words as of yet are: Mama, Dada, Nana, WOW, and Uh-oh....(Super cute! But he has forgotten to say Papa, so we need to work on that again.) He plays peek-a-boo (with his own hands) Up until now he liked to throw his blanket over his head, but now he has learned to cover his eyes with his own hands)
There is something else too, but I can't remember it right now....

But here's something really cool, he has peed in the toilet twice now!! Ok, so he didn't understand that he did...but still he did it!! ;)
This past long Labour Day weekend, we went to Spokane and finally picked up our last years Christmas present from my parents (A camcorder) so I am sure I will drive you all crazy with more videos of Chase...Just as soon as I learn how to use it!! We also picked up Chase's Halloween costume for this year...A DRAGON!!! It is very cute, so I'll post a picture of him in it in a few minutes!
Hope this finds you all well!
