Evil Knievel

Apparently Chase doesn't feel that our lives are exciting enough so he gave us a big thrill this afternoon when he decided that he was going to just roll off his changing table!  He's fine, but I don't think that I have recovered yet!  Derek and I were both in Chase's room, and he thought I was watching him, and I thought he was watching him...and off he went.  Derek scooped him right up and calmed him down, while I proceeded to have a panic attack.  Thankfully, he was okay and cried for only less than a minute, but it was a big wake up to call for us.  Now that he is mobile, we have to be so much more careful!  Let the babyproofing begin....

Here are some random pictures from the week...  More later...

Thank God it's the WEEKEND!

It's been a LONG week...and we are all very excited about the three day weekend!  Derek had a meeting for his hunting club so Chase and I had a quiet Friday night playing with his new piano and reading books.

Chase is very proud of his new pulling up skills...

 

And....then because his Daddy is a Marine, Chase decided that he wanted to opt for the military low crawl instead of that baby crawling.  It's much easier to sneak up on people that way.

We are having some friends over on Sunday for a cookout.  Chase is very excited to see his friend Olivia :) 

This weekend we are very thankful for all the men and women in our military especially our favorite Marine!

Have a great weekend!

Daddy Day...

Tuesdays and Thursdays are what we have termed "Daddy Days".  Derek and Chase have the whole day together....Chase just LOVES his Daddy.

There is alot of playing on Daddy Day...

And...sometimes on Daddy Day, you get to meet Momma at lunch and pick out a new toy!  Chase got a new Chicco activity table and he loves it.  He banged away on the piano all afternoon.

Today at The Bowens

Our first blog.....here goes :)

It was 96 degrees today and Chase needed some cooling off so.....Daddy filled up the pool!  So much fun...



After splashing around for a while, Chase decided he wanted to practice his pulling up skills.

Then it was time to dry off and head inside for dinner...

Chase had a great time.  He is moving around so much now.  Derek and I are convinced that he will be crawling within a couple of weeks.  Watch out!
