New friend

We got so lucky and found an amazing fit for a babysitter for Chase on the 3 days a week that he is not with Betty Ann. We found Leslie, who has a sweet 6-month-old little baby, Samantha. Leslie is a stay-at-home mom who was looking to keep one other baby. It works so well for us since they live only about 5 minutes away from us and Chase and Samantha get along really well. I admit that I was so nervous to leave Chase with someone he didn't know (especially since he now has a touch of stranger anxiety). But Monday was his first day and he has been very happy both days when I pick him up. I think that's a good sign! When I picked him up on Monday, he had a wooden spoon and was playing the "drums" with a cake pan, grinning from ear to ear. Here's a picture of Chase and Samantha playing yesterday, enjoying the nice weather.
They had fun playing peek-a-boo with Leslie using this blanket, apparently.
Leslie got a kick out of the fact that Chase was able to play with 2 toys at one time: one in his mouth and one in his hands (remember the duck video??). :) Here's how it happened pictured below. See? No hands!
Here's the sweet happy boy below.
