Random Things in Random Places

A few months ago before Chase was walking, but after he'd started to get into things, we had dinner at our friends' house. Not only are they our closet friends in the area, they also are the most prepared out of everyone for when we come to visit. They watch their young niece and nephew all the time, so their house comes with lots of toys. Chase even knows all of the hiding spots for said goodies. Anyway....since during this visit Chase wasn't yet walking he crawled around playing, and was quickly entertained by a basket of magnetic letters housed on their refrigerator. If I remember correctly, more than a week passed and my girlfriend was still finding those little letters in random places around her kitchen. Fast forward to Chase running around and leaving trails of things everywhere he goes.

I thought I'd humor you with some of Chase's hiding spots for items throughout our home. Over the past few weeks I have found crayons in the couch(not too odd), a sneaker in our bathroom drawer, the alarm clock remote in the laundry basket(missing for a bit since we hadn't done whites), a Q-tip on the alarm clock(he was cleaning), golf clubs in the bathroom, toilet paper shreds just about everywhere, and today my MIL found a washcloth and socks under the sofa. He doesn't have a blanket or toy he is attached to, he just loves carrying stuff around. I swear we watch him! He just likes collecting things, throwing things in the trash, and sometimes leaving items wherever he feels like it.

Side note-new things he likes to tell/show us...he tells us when he's made a mess, pinches his nose to say he stinks(he's been saying "I pooped" for a while now), and singing more song lyrics. Today he sang part of "Bon Bon" by Pitbull when he saw it on a beer commercial. Lovely right? Oh, and he told me we were having couscous for dinner. So stinking smart!
