Chase's Job

I love playing with Chase, or just sitting and watching him play. He is so focused and intense in whatever he's doing. He plays like it's his job. My mom is always telling me that it IS his job- which Chase understands and takes very seriously. We went to the pool yesterday, which I love doing with Chase these days. We had an assortment of buckets and little cups and he kept himself very busy filling them up and dumping them out, out into the pool, outside of the pool, into other cups, on mommy's head, on his own head. It was just darling. Then he would take breaks to blow bubbles or jump off the steps, but then would go right back to filling up those cups. He just so full of ideas these days! 

The other night we gave him a cookie after dinner. He had a sippy cup of milk and whenever he wanted to drink from the cup he sat his cookie right on top of the cup, so as he tipped it up to drink the cookie was right at his nose. You've got to keep a close eye on those things, lest they disappear! He was doing the same thing with his cereal and smoothie cup yesterday, so I snapped this picture. (And yeah, he's just in a diaper again, but we had just come back from the pool)

 And this is just my cute boy running towards me with a big smile on his face. That little toothy grin is the best thing in the world to me!
