Summer Fun

Well, it's been almost a month since I last updated. We've been having a lot of fun this summer! Baby Chase is really growing- he can roll over now and has started eating cereal. We 'talk' a lot to each other. Mommy says we have our own language. I really love my brother and like to give him hugs and kisses. Here is what we've been up to over the last few weeks:

The Fair-

Mommy and daddy took us to the Franklin County Fair. I really liked all the animals, especially the sheep and the horses. Mommy said the fair was tiny and nothing like the good ol' Clark County Fair. She said maybe she'd take us to that fair next year- daddy was thrilled!

Splash Park-

With all the hot weather, we've been frequent visitors to the splash park. It takes me a while to warm up, but once I get going I never want to leave. We hosted a play date there with my neighborhood friends. Baby Chase has even joined in on the fun.

Roly Poly-

Now that Chase has learned to roll over, he likes to sleep on his side and play on his belly. I like to get on my belly to play with him. Riley likes it too, as it gives her perfect access for kisses!

Big Eater-

Chase started eating cereal a few weeks ago. As you can see he is definitely getting bigger! Mommy calls him Little Chunk II. Now that he is getting bigger, he has been able to get baths with me in the big tub. We have fun splashing around and playing with our bath toys. I've also been playing with him a lot more and sharing my toys.

Visitors and Vacation-

Daddy's cousin Todd, Jaime and Ella came over to visit along with cousin Meg, Uncle Neal and Aunt Joan. Ella lives in Texas and I hadn't seen her since Christmas 2006. I wasn't too sure about all of the visitors, but I started to warm up to everyone at the end when they were getting ready to leave. That same week mommy and daddy took a trip and left us with grandma, who I now call Me ma. Grandpa took Riley to his house to play with Aunt Raven. I wasn't too happy with mommy and daddy when they first came home, but I warmed up quickly, especially after they showed me the new hat they bought me!

Riley-

We found out Riley has more ouchies. She had surgery last week and now has to wear a cone until her incision heals. I've been petting her with my 'nice' hands hoping she feels better soon. One of my new favorite activities is going outside with daddy and pointing out to him where the yard needs to be picked up. It seems to be a daily activity, but I don't mind.

Have a good weekend everyone!
