Chase and I have been rounding out the summer with lots of weekend adventures. Mommy and daddy have been keeping us busy doing lots of fun things. In the past few weeks we celebrated Grandpa's birthday (who I now call Grandpa Mooch) and I even got a few early birthday presents of my own. Chase is half way to his first birthday. He went to the doctor yesterday and was 18.5 lbs. Mommy said I was 19 lbs at the same age, so he's almost as big as I am! He's going to be getting a new car seat soon, b/c he's almost too big for the infant one. Enjoy the pictures and a few videos from our adventures.
Young's-
For Grandpa's birthday we went to Young's Jersey Dairy. I liked checking out all the animals with uncle Jack. Chase and I drove a tractor, and Grandpa even shared his ice cream with me! I also took a train ride with mommy.
Bike-
Grandma Bonk and Papa Chicken came to visit a few weeks ago with a big surprise- a new bike! They gave me a blue bike for my birthday. I'm glad I didn't have to wait until my real birthday to open it. I could hardly wait for daddy and papa to put it together. I love riding up and down the sidewalk and I tell everyone at school about my 'blue bike.' I've even taken Chase for a few rides.
Brutus-
At mommy's work there are a bunch of cool Brutus statues. Mommy took Chase and I there to see them. My favorite was the yellow 'butter' Brutus. I liked them so much, I wanted to see each one 4 times. I was disappointed the other day at daddy's work, because Brutus wasn't there.
Trains-
I've really been into trains lately. A few weeks ago mommy and daddy heard about a train festival nearby, so we all went. I got to go inside real train cars, watch little trains and I even went for a train ride- twice!
Fort Rapids-
After the train festival, I went home to eat lunch and take a nap. When I woke up from my nap, daddy said we were going swimming. Daddy's work had a big party at Fort Rapids- an indoor water park. They had a swimming area just for kids my size. I loved flopping in the water, swimming and going down the water slides. Chase even swam and had fun in the pool swing. When it was time to go home I didn't want to leave. Daddy said we could go back again sometime- I sure hope we do!
First Tooth-
Chase has been doing good with his cereal and is getting ready to start baby food. We bought an extra chair so he can sit at the table with me. I love to talk and sing to him while we are eating. His first tooth just came in, so watch your fingers!
Cars and Horses-
I helped daddy wash his car the other day. He said he is going to have the cleanest door in all of Columbus. I had fun playing in the water. When we were done, we all went to the horse races where we met Grandma and Grandpa. I loved watching the horses so close. I even picked a few winners! Mommy said she was taking me to Vegas.............. Before we left Grandma gave me some plastic horses. I sure like to play with them and make them gallop over everything.
Slide-
Mommy and daddy took us to the toy store last weekend. I thought we were just getting a helmet for me to wear with my new bike, but I also got a birthday present- a new slide! It also has a basketball hoop on it. I really like it and Chase laughs when I say 'Weeee' as I slide down.
I hope everyone is having a good week. Enjoy the videos below & Go Bucks!
