One year ago today....

Chase Robert was conceived!! Z got a pretty awesome birthday present, huh?!? ;) It's so hard to believe how fast time has gone.....my baby is almost 4 months old!!! ACK!!!

3 months old

Today my baby is 3 months old!! He is such an amazing little guy. His last weight check was a little over 12lbs and was 24" long. I'll see if I can get a weight on him today and i'll update. He just loves to smile and talk at just about anything. His best friend right now is the lamp behind the recliner. He will smile and coo and talk for a long time with that lamp. He also loves the ceiling fan in the playroom......he will just stare at that thing and not blink. I still think he loves the lamp more, though. The lamp gets his best, big open mouth smiles and he actually talks to it, where as the ceiling fan only gets stares. He has also decided that at times his fingers taste better than any bottle I make, which can make feeding him a little tricky. As I posted before, we started him on applesauce and he has done SO good with it!! We also bought some pears for him to try and he's done good with them as well. He can hold his head really good and steady now, and LOVES to blow raspberries! I remember my mom telling me I loved to do that when I was a baby as well. He does great with tummy time and when your holding him he kicks his feet like crazy, like he's trying to get down and run around like his big brother does.

Here are Chase's 3 month pics.....

My big boy!!

On Friday I broke down and bought Chase some baby applesauce, and he LOVED it!!! He only ate a very little bit, but he really did good with it. Saturday I gave him a little before his bedtime bottle and he slept all night long!!!! I thought to myself "Hey, I may be on to something!" so Sunday and Monday and I did the same thing and get this.......he slept all night long again!!! So three nights in a row of sleeping through the night.........I feel like a whole new mommy!!!

I can't believe my baby will be 3 months old tomorrow....and yet, it really feels like he should be older. Does that make sense?!? I mean, it really feels he's been here with us so much longer. I'll do a post tomorrow about his 3 month update......but i'll share some pics of him today!!!
