Jason Bedell Online

So Chloe is 9 months old and she is going through quite a few changes. We're having a lot of "FIRSTS" at our place. It's a great time to be a dad.

- First time grabbing daddy's glasses to be a little rocker

- First time eating grown up food on Valentines Day (the bus boys hated watching this go down)

- First Big Girl bath, she loved it as you can tell

- First time she cried when the Dr. came in. She knows what's going to happen when the door opens and she's not a fan

- First play date away from the house with a boy (he better watch himself)

- First time falling alseep while feeding herself, it was hysterical

- First time eating grilled chicken (she got some stuck in her wrist fat roll)

- First time in a swing by herself

- First wagon ride in her wagon she got from her "papa" (Grandpa)

Chloe is growing sooooo fast. We're in a new stage here at Casa De Bedell, and she's moving fast! More from the series later today... Enjoy.

Chaos.
Pure, uninterrupted, beautiful chaos.
She digs it.

Playing in her room, crawling around and getting into everything (all with a stinky diaper I later found out, ugh). But not a peep. She could care less that it was in her diaper. As long as she was having fun with the toys, trying to pull the cord out to the TV (I need to fix that somehow), getting to move around the room- it didn't matter.

It reminds me a lot of you and I. We roll through life with this dirt, filth, depression, troubles, sin, etc. But, as long as we are content and happy, we push on through. We don't let anyone know. In the process we have fun, but we also put ourselves in danger (may I remind you of the TV cord/outlet).

As Chloe's dad I am here to guide her and direct her. Through the good and bad. The best part is she allows me to do that right now. But as she gets older she will get strong willed, put up a fight, and think "she knows best."

I'm sure this doesn't sound at all familiar.
You have never been that kid, right?
God has never been that dad with you... right?!

Sounds like we have a lot to think about. Until next time,

Testing out some Photo Apps for my iPhone.
Anyone have an App they like for their phone?
I'm always looking for something new.

It's Family Friday! I will be posting more from the series tomorrow. I spend every Friday with Chloe while Carrie works and today is "Operation: Baby Lock Down."

Yes my friends, the glorious day when your child begins to move around on the floor, you turn your back and they're already at the socket with a fork- "Where in the world did they get a fork?!?" you might ask... Kids are tricky man. Don't turn your back on 'em.

So I'll be baby proofing the house more secure than Fort Knox. You guys enjoy kickin' it, working, spending time with the family- I will be hanging with power tools (insert Tim Allen man grunt here). Later people.
