  • I'd use "chat log" or "chat logs," treating "chat log" as a compound noun, or treating "chat" as an adjective.
  • " "The log of my chat," the log of my chats," the logs of my chats," depending on whether all of your chats are in fact kept on/in one log, or each chat has its own log; and depending on whether you use the word "chat" to describe the medium or to describe one individual chat.

 I'd like to add, with #3, that you are calling the baby "Baby," and you should have a capital letter. However, I think "Put the baby's shoes on" is more likely.
