In No particular order

Happy Birthday!!!!

We went to Childrent's Museum downtown- it was more geared toward big kids, but Chase seemed to enjoy himself.

We also did lunch at BW3's beforehand- thank goodness they have a lower level we had all to ourselves, Chase was having fun testing out his lungs during lunch

Gardening- he had a good time!

Did you miss me? I know it's been awhile, but I'm a very busy kid!! In October I had my first charity event, Al's Run/Walk for Children's Hospital. I'm a Children's Champion because I hung out there for my surgery. So of course I got to represent. Mom, Gma L, and Jill showed their support too. It was pretty cold, but as you can see I was appropriately dressed. Afterwards, we hit up one of mom's favorite places in Milwaukee, Lulus. I didn't get their slaw, but I did get the waitress's number- just kidding!

Feeding myself now! All about the "real food"

Then the next weekend I took my first out of state trip to Iowa. Got to visit with my cousins Lena & Joana. Don't tell Gpa L, but they totally let me go off the rug! Big day for me :-) Oh and Aunt Linda also showed me how much fun it is to peek into the cupboards, I've been trying to do it at home, but Mom's got them on lock down.

Like my big ole bruise? Took a header off my mat, that's why Gpa L likes me on the rug. By the way? I totally took my first steps while we were in Iowa. Mom wasn't expecting it at all, so I thought I'd spring it on her. She was very happy, as were the girls to share the moment with me. But to quote Dad "we are so screwed" Lol

This past weekend I got to go to my first Badger game. It was a scrimmage and I did pretty good. I loved the lights, music and action. I did not like the buzzer (took cover like it was incoming bombs)

It was a nice way to end the weekend.

Looking to see if I can get better seats!

Dancing my tush off

My cousin Kendall was there too! She didn't like the buzzer either

Check out Bucky in the background

Check out Steve Stricker over my shoulder signing autographs. By my expression you can tell it's not a big deal to me, but Mom was excited

Godmom Amber, me & Mom

This is how I coped with the buzzer, Mom didn't seem to mind.

Getting a little bored with the photo-ops

Got to hang out on the floor

Gaudreaus :-)

Cabin Visit!

I think he's trying to tell me to put the camera down


Thank you Tanya (Best.toy.idea.ever!)

Chase Update

Been a very busy baby lately, so you'll have to forgive the delay in my blogging. I'm busy crawling all over the place now and does that take forever! I prefer to walk, but since I haven't started that yet, I'll just work on my standing.

Mom says I'm like a little rock climber, I grab the couch piping with the tips of my fingers and pull myself up. Of course I fall sometimes, so it's a good thing I'm wearing my Pampers.

Not a whole lot to report, getting ready for my first birthday! Carter/Brody & Will have been showing me how it's done- I can't wait for my own party.

Other than that- still no teeth (Mom prays to the tooth fairy everynight!) I'm talking up a storm, and just hanging out with my favorite people. OH! Mom did get a new job so now I spend part of my days at Aunt Tara's with my cousins Dustin and Charrley. They're WAY older, so they're showing me the ropes. It's a pretty sweet deal bc The G's (Klett and Lehman) still pick me up so I get to see them a lot too.

A nice little weekend

Mark & Amber have heart attacks when Mom does this, so she does it often!


Gaudreaus- the next Generation



GGG (Great Grandpa Gaudreau)

Poppa, me & Mom

Prolly not :-)

Not so sure about this swing thing. . .

I had myself a nice little weekend. Saturday was GG Gaudreau's birthday party. Got to hang out with my cousins Kendall and Dillon, and my Poppa! It was fun and Kendall and I even got lessons in sharing. I feel more of those are coming our way. Baby Dillon is still too small to play with us, but it was nice to have him there.

On Sunday Mom and I went down to Tenney park. We were very disappointed that you can't feed the ducks anymore, but I tried out the swings and then Mom took me to see the boats. I've heard rumors that Dad and Gpa Lehman have those too, but neither have taken me out yet. . . HINT HINT!

PS- Mom wanted to share the latest stats from my 9 month apt.

I'm 15lbs 12oz and 26.5 inches! Dr Pagel thinks I'm doing PERFECT!

Reading hour

Here's some cute pics of Chase with GG Kessenich!

In our family it's a big deal when you "outgrow" Gma Kessenich. I would say Chase is definetaly on his way!

He was never this small!!

We've got a new addition to the Gaudreau Fam. Actually two- my nephew Gabriel was born in June (but I don't have any pictures yet- someone should help me out with that!)

But my latest cousin is Dillon Matthew Gaudreau! Born last Wednesday, the 29th :-) Everyone is doing great.

Chase wasn't too impressed with the baby, was more interested in Matt's shoelaces to be honest. But we got one cute pic of the two of them. . .
