FALL IN FLORIDA!

Lots going on this month....football, pumpkins....

First, we took Chase to his first UM game! Since we have season tickets with a big group of friends, we all decided ahead of time we would bring the babies all to one game this year. Chase enjoyed his first college football game - although the outcome of the game was not good (Canes lost in overtime 40-37), but we still had fun.

Chase is ready to tailgate, keys in hand!

Chase, Mommy and Daddy ready to cheer on the Hurricanes!

He was having so much fun!


Chase and his buddy Lincoln both had their matching UM jerseys!

Celebrating a UM touchdown!

Chase was more interested in playing with Daddy's hat, though.

C-A-N-E-S Canes! He is learning the cheer!

Jenny and Ella, Angie and Lincoln, me and Chase.

And...here we are ONE YEAR AGO - Jenny, Angie and me - all pregnant!


Next up, we took Chase to the PUMPKIN PATCH
to get ready for his first Halloween! These are so cute! Although, it was tough to get any smiles out of him, I think out of the 300 or so pictures I took he smiled for maybe 5 of them! That is so unlike him, too. All the pumpkins were probably a bit overwhelming.

He did enjoy eating the hay. Lovely.

There's a smile!


Just 'chillin.

I love the baby pumpkins. He fit right in with those!

Chase and Ella stare each other down while Ella stakes her claim.
"I saw this one first."

Early October 2009 (Chase 9 months)

A few new pictures from the past couple of weeks. Chase is just growing and growing...he is such a little man now!

Chase LOVES bathtime!

Gregg's parents in for a visit.

"Um, mom, please stop taking pictures...I want some more food!"

Jenny and Ella, Stacey A. and Zach, me and Chase, Ana and little Gus

LOVE this picture of Chase and his best buddy Zach. So cute!

Chase is 8 months and Zachy is 16 months in this picture. It's crazy, Chase is now the age that Zach was when Chase was born! They seem so far apart in age right now, but another year or two and I bet you won't even be able to tell the difference.
