Trick or Treat!

Hope everyone had a happy Halloween! We took Chasen to his first "trunk or treat" at my mom's church. It was huge! They had a beach theme and there was sand everywhere. He loved it! He especially loved the trunk where the Beach Boys were playing on the radio. He was a groov'n little dinosaur! It's so funny watching him dance, surely in a dinosaur costume! He really enjoyed himself, and so did we.

When we came home we ordered pizza with my family and we sat out on the deck with our new heater dad bought. We gave Chasen a bath to get the sand off and I showed mom how I feed Chasen sometimes in the bath. I don't think she was too keen on that, but it gets the job done! Sometime nighttime comes quickly and there's no time (or patience from Chasen) for dinner AND a bath, so we do it all at once! He gets his meal which makes mom happy and a bath which makes baby happy! Who knows, it could be revolutionary!

We took C to the doctor today for his 15 month checkup. I'm not so sure about them. We were there an hour before we saw the doctor. Almost two hours by the time we left. Chasen was hysterical because he was so tired from missing a nap. He weighed 23 pounds 8 oz and is in they SAID it was 90% percentile for weight! Which is odd since we weighed 23 lbs at 12 months as was 50%. And, the pediatric book I have at home says less than 50%. He was 31 1/2 inches long-60% for height. So we have either a bad nurse here, or a bad nurse at our old doctor. Guess we will start looking for someone else. So someone somewhere doesn't know how to weight a baby! The doctor also thinks Chasen is going to be a late talker-more around 2 and a half years than 18 months. He says it's common in boys-they are about 50/50. Some start talking about 18 months and the other half about 2 and a half. That's ok with us. I'm sure when he does start talking, it will be proper English and highly intelligent!
