There is that grin I was talking about

More cheese....

Hello all...can you believe that it is almost February? Been waiting for the big snow and I am still not seeing it here....cmon, I want a snow day!

Things have calmed down a little in the Lewis house, at least I am not out of town again for a while. Chase is doing good..just growing and growing. We are planning the big first birthday party, can't wait for that! Not much new to report...he is still walking behind his walker toys, but not taking steps on his own. He has this cheesy expression now where he squints his eyes and smiles big...so picture taking is difficult...I have all these pictures with his eyes half open....kind of like he is actually saying "cheese"! He likes to combine the walking with the squinting and it makes for some good "crash and burns". Have to get that on tape...he had Grandma Stokes in tears the other day.

He is really imitating the kids at daycare....trying to do the stuff they do. He loves to bring books to me to read but then he only stays around for a couple of pages and shuts the book and then it starts all over again. He likes to try and climb up me by grabbing and tugging on my shirts. He is still saying Mama, but mostly when he is hungry, tired or grumpy! And doing other babbles, grunts and screams...
