safety first

we went and had lunch with uj and ac and chase got to borrown cousin l's chair for about 2 minutes. then he decided that he didn't like it... he arched his back and started to cry. so, we'll try it again in a few months, but as always

SAFETY FIRST!

and as some of you know, chase doesn't really do so well in the car/car seat. if he's awake he is usually screamin' at the top of his lungs. i interpret his cries as "mom, you know i hate being strapped into this thing. why are you making me sit back here all alone?!?!". so, when we went to the japanese festival last weekend, we tried to go sans car seat. and he did ok for about 20 minutes. he still prefers the bjorn, but i gotta be hittin' the gym to strengthen my back at the rate he's growing!
