Step by Step

After a 2 week hiatus, Chase has decided that maybe this walking thing isn't so bad after all. He definitely needs an audience we have learned. He took his next 'real' steps while we were in Savannah visiting some family friends. With his audience in full attention, he decided that he would be happy to walk all around their living room...as long as his steps were followed immediately with applause. Since then, he has 'performed' for the Nana and Popi, Mimi, Aunt Lindsey, cousins Olivia and Addison on Skype....his audience doesn't have to be in person apparently! He is now gaining confidence with every step and is more willing to walk instead of crawl in some instances.

I have 2 weeks left of my summer vacation and I have to admit that it went by way too fast. I am not that excited about going back and leaving Chase. While he has been going to daycare 3 days a week during the summer so that I can take care of errands and household chores, it has been fun to hang out with him on his 'off' days. We have been going to the library for Rhyme Time, visiting with Grandma (my mom - who recently moved here) and catching up with friends. We know that the adjustment back to full-time work and full-time daycare won't be easy on any of us but the time has come!

Hopefully, once I go back to work, I can try to keep up with the blog but I don't know how often. I will definitely post when new and exciting things happen. Other than that, no promises being made! Hope everyone is enjoying the posts. I know it has been a fun way for me to keep up with Chase's progress over the last year. I am not the decorative, scrapbooking type so this is the best baby book option for me!
