Charlie Chew Toy

Chase is teething like crazy right now.  Anything he can get his hands on, he'll immediately put it right into his mouth (as is evident from the video camera incident).  Poor Charlie got a little too close one day and well, you probably know what happens next...

Battle in the Backyard

Here is another video from our crazy evening a couple of nights ago.  In this video, Mike and Charlie are battling it out.  Who do you think will win?  Hilarious!

Charlie's ABCs

In this video, Dad is helping Charlie sing his ABCs as only Charlie can do it.  Love it!

Don't forget you can also view all of my videos on my YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/arningk

Chase, 1 - Video Camera, 0

This video is so funny!  We've been having dinner outside lately so the boys can enjoy the beautiful weather.  Yesterday we were all especially crazy, so I thought I would take some video of our nuttiness.  I wanted to get sweet baby Chase on camera and show off his two front teeth, and well, let's just say that I got a little too close.  Enjoy!

Don't forget, you can also watch this video on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/arningk

I Give Up!

I've tried so hard to keep up with my blog, but I give up. I can't do it! So much has happened in the last couple of weeks and I've not blogged about hardly any of it! I also uploaded nine videos to YouTube, and I only posted two of them on this blog. Am I behind or what? I don't suppose I should worry about it too much because I doubt that anyone has really even noticed... except me, of course.

Now about those nine videos, I'm just going to provide the link to YouTube and you can watch them all for yourself. I have my own YouTube channel, so you'll find all of the videos there. There are two videos of Charlie and Chase together. Those are my favorites. Charlie LOVES Chase and Chase would do anything to be able to get up and run after Charlie. I think they are going to be best buds! That's the good thing about having kids so close together. I know there'll be times when they are at each other's throats, but for the most part, I think they are going to be like... well, brothers! Anyway, here's the link to my YouTube channel. Hope you enjoy the videos!

In other news, Mike and I recently took Charlie to see "Disney's Rockin' Road Show." All in all, it was a much better show than Curious George, but of course, I would expect nothing less from Disney. Charlie really seemed to enjoy himself and was able to stay engaged for most of the show. He was even jumping up and down and dancing in front of his seat! (All of the kids were. It was so fun to see!)

We also enjoyed an off-weekend with Mike, had Chase's 6-month photo shoot, went to another Easter egg hunt (even though we missed the actual hunt because both boys were napping and I wasn't about to wake them up), had Easter dinner with Oma and had a visit with Grandpa and Grandma, plus Charlie had swim lessons and Romp n Roll and Chase had his 6-month doctor's appointment. So, you can see, it's been quite busy!

And speaking of Chase's 6-month doctor's appointment, he is 20lbs 7oz and 29 1/2 inches. Charlie was 18lbs and 28 inches at the same age, so as you can see, Chase is HUGE! The doctor said he is the size of an average 11-month-old. No wonder I am at the chiropractor all the time!

Attached are some recent pictures of Charlie & Chase.  Do you think my photography lessons are paying off?  :)

Charlie's on a Hunt!

We went to the Skybrook Easter egg hunt last week and had a great time! There were tons of kids, so Charlie had lots of competition once the hunt began. He found three eggs though! Here's a little snippet of our time at the event.

Here Come the Videos

I recently uploaded nine videos to YouTube, so over the next few days, I'll add them to my blog. We'll start with a sweet and simple video. I call it "Happy Baby," mainly because it's Chase in the happy baby yoga pose. Yes, that pose actually exists! Anyway, Chase is in love with his feet right now, so I thought I would show you how limber he is. So cute!
