Mommy getting in some motorized cooler time with Chase
He's going to break hearts with those blue eyes when he gets older.
Fiddling with the cord of the vacuum cleaner
Helping Mommy vacuum
Our little guy is 16 months old! Last month, I posted that he had just started walking. This month, he’s RUNNING! He LOVES to be outside. Now that he has refined the art of walking, he’ll grab me by one of my fingers and walk me to the door to motion me to go outside. He’ll also put my flip flops on for me. He loves exploring the outdoors, and he has had lots of mosquito bites this past month to prove it (yes, I put the kid-safe bug spray on him and I’ve even tried the dryer sheet idea).
Aside from being outdoors, Chase likes to help me vacuum. He also likes the Swiffer mop. I like the idea of having a kid who actually likes to clean! When he’s not helping me clean, he’s usually playing with his toy cars and trucks. With all of the playing he does throughout the day, he wears himself out and is more than ready for bed by the time 7:00 rolls around. Oftentimes, he’s exhausted even before then. He sleeps from 7 PM to around 6:30 AM and usually takes a mid-day nap for an hour or two. In fact, he’s napping now, which is why I’m taking advantage of my free time to update the blog!
Unfortunately, Tim and I have only had the boat out once this month, but we had a blast when we went! Chase loves going for boat rides and sometimes the humming of the motors will even put him to sleep. This past time, we anchored the boat and he got to float around in his little whale float for a while. He thought it was hilarious when Tim and I would make big splashes with our hands in the water. The best part of the trip was walking with him on the beach with him holding on to my index finger the whole time. We have a family beach trip to Nags Head coming up next month and we’re all so excited. I can’t wait to capture new memories in my blog for next month.
