Monster Man


Chase has done some serious growing and expanding this month. And by expanding I mean the area he is able to reach and get into. I constantly refer to him as a monster man, he climbs up on and gets into everything!! The coffee table, the fireplace, Ethan's bed, you name it he's there. He's just figuring out how to climb DOWN off things safely, not head first. Here are a few examples caught on film:




Trying to copy Ethan
Not so happy when the bike struck back

Mohawk!


This is how he stood for a good 10 minutes, making me very nervous. I went and stood behind him after I took the picture :)


On the other hand, he is such a smart boy and figures things out so quickly. He will imitate almost anything we do, and he's just started picking up on some sign language, like "more". I know you're not going to believe me, I wouldn't believe me either, but yes, my 11 month old talks. He says Mama and Dada, No with a perfect circle to his lips at the "O", Coo coo when he sees the Cuckoo clock, and will repeat you clearly when you say Matt. He loves to follow Ethan around and amuses himself with the funniest things. Today he found a plastic egg and kept hiding it under the flap at the bottom of the couch, then reaching back in to find it. He probably repeated that 12 times before he stopped. Gotta love boys!

MINI ERIC. HOLY COW, spitting image. I have never seen a mini that is more mini than that. WOW he looks JUST LIKE his father.

So cute, so glad he is growing so well. It has to be interesting that he is such a stark contrast to ethan. You have to be a little overwhelmed. I am sure sometime you think about how grateful you were that ethan wasn't a monkey like this one. It has to be interesting.

I love your boys. They are beautiful!!!!!!
