Checking Stuff Out

This video really cracks me up. Chase is really getting into the spirit of what exactly I'm not sure...maybe taking some baby angst out on the chair? I like the part where it looks like he's kicking the chair too. Take that! I need a good title for this video, but after kid wrangling all day I'm not exactly firing on all cylinders.


Now that Chase can pull himself up, he's big into explorer mode. I don't suppose it will be much longer before he actually crawls in the cupboard.
He was having fun with this bus toy of Carters (that she had quit playing with over a year ago until she say baby brother with it). He's getting pretty good at pushing it around, until it runs into something or bucks him off.
He's still super wobbly and we have lots of falls when he gets himself pulled up and then can't get down or he picked a bad idea like a tiny chair as leverage. No major crashes yet, fingers crossed.

Slip n Slide

Robert's mom sent Carter out a Slip'n Slide in one of her great boxes and we finally had a day hot enough to get it out. Sunday was perfectly gorgeous and plenty warm. Sterling was over visiting, so they both had lots of fun!

Sterling trying to show us just how to slide down without falling...just before the crash!

Checking out the sprinkler part of the slide. This was good entertainment! We were hoping to get the slide out again while I was watching Cade and Avery this week but it's now much too cold to play in the water, although that didn't stop Carter and Cade from trying to give the chickens a bath then soaking themselves with the barn hydrant. (Then coming in the house crying because they were wet, cold and tracking mud all over the carpet...)
