You can run...

But you can't hide. Chase is everywhere, even up and down the step into the kitchen and living room. He's pulling himself up on everything too, and climbing onto boxes, and onto bottom shelves of tables. Just when you think you've baby proofed the house...surprise, another bump or bruise. I think nurse Cathy is having a hard time keeping up with him! We're exploring all of our daycare options for Chase now that he's older and really loves interacting with other kids. We've been really disappointed with nurse Cathy lately and her extreme resistance with Chase's therapists and their recommendations and ideas. It's become a huge burden and so frustrating to say the least. If I could just be a stay-at-home mom for awhile, I'd do it in a heartbeat! We're not sure how quick we want to replace her with Chase's upcoming surgery and the familiarity of Cathy. But it's inevitable! I just hope and pray we can find something and someone that is best for Chase!
He's doing really well with his speaking valve and making lots of baby noises! He still pulls out his hearing aids, and then flashes a big grin when reprimanded. It's hard to stay on him :) We go back to the doctor next week for a follow-up visit and for pre-op for his surgery Aug 24, which will be a big day!
