Chase's First Love

So a few months ago, Leah saw a commercial on TV for the new Tinkerbell movie and she seemed interested, so Tim bought it for her and we have watched it almost every evening after dinner since that day. I have all the words and songs memorized and Leah has started talking with a slight British accent. But the funny thing is... when Chase was a newborn and collicky and screaming all the time, if we held him in front of the TV when Tinkerbell was on he stopped crying. He was mesmerized by Tink. We think he has a slight crush on Tinkerbell. He could be on the other side of the house in his walker and hear Tinkerbell come on and he makes a beeline (yea, he's fast in that thing!) for the TV. This is his face when he sees Tink:

We thought maybe it was just the bright colors and the animation that he likes, but no, it's Tink. We tried watching Finding Nemo one night and he was all excited as the TV started to glow and then he screamed..yes screamed..and then started whimper crying when he saw that it was not Tinkerbell. We changed it to Tinkerbell to see what he would do and he immediately stopped crying.
Leah has a Tinkerbell chair in the living room. We have a big blanket laid out on the living room floor for him to scoot around on and he loves to scoot over to the chair and stare at Tink and grab at her. It's pretty hilarious actually.
I'm blogging about this for his future girlfriends... and I have the pictures to prove it :) But, hey, we can't blame him.. Tinkerbell's a babe!
Sorry, Chase....




Grandpa thought it'd be funny to put a Tinkerbell poster over Chase's crib...






Leah's Lingo


Leah: Mommy, what's that on your chin?
Me: That's called a zit, baby.
Leah: Oh. Can I have a zip too?? Please??


Two nights ago we walked by the community pool on our evening walk and Leah asked if we could go swimming. I explained to her that it was too cold and that the pool was closed for the winter and that when it was hot again we could go swimming.
Last night we walked by it again...
Leah: Mommy, you wanna go swimming? (before I could answer her she responded...) Nope! Too bad...so sad!
