Last post at this blog.....

Well, I don't really see the point of updating this blog anymore....even though I did change the name of it. I'm going to keep it up though, so I have something to look back on down the road.

From now on all posts about Chase will be posted at my regular blog Miscellaneous babbling's. You can sign up there to receive an email anytime I post as well........

Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I forgot to post!!!!!

On Sunday, October 18th 2008 we found out we were pregnant with our second blessing, Chase!!! I can't believe it's been a year since we found out, and now have our little monkers here with us. Time is going by way too fast!!!! :(

I updated about his 4 months checkup, but I didn't update on all the new things he is doing!! He is SUCH a chatterbox! He loves to laugh out loud, especially at big brother. And he hates to be held still for any amount of time.......he tries SO hard to squirm out of your arms to get down to play! He loves to "stand" and bounce up and down. And if Tyler is anywhere near him, you might as well forget about trying to keep Chase's attention.....he wants big brother!!! He loves Tyler so much, and Tyler loves him just as much!! I am amazed at how they are together......you can really see the love they have for each other, and it just melts my heart. I'm sure as Chase and Tyler get older they'll have their differences and fight, but I hope they always remember they are brothers and never lose the love they have for each other. Chase has now rolled from belly to back and back to belly, but only rolls if he feels like it, not just because you encourage him to. He also loves to raise his little hiney up in the air when you try to put a diaper on him. He is still friends with lampy (the lamp behind the recliner) and so far still likes the ceiling fan in the playroom.......well, I haven't heard him fuss at it lately, so I assume they are still friends. I found a rattle a few weeks ago and Chase LOVES to hold and chew on it!! He actually loves to hold onto anything you give him, and things you don't give him, like mommy's hair. LOL He reaches for everything he sees and is a great little eater! He loves his fruit and a few veggies. I absolutely love how the tiniest things make him smile and laugh out loud, or how something catches his eye and he just stares at it.....I love seeing things all over again through his eyes!!

Ok, here is a recent pic......

4 months old!!

Today Chase is 4 months old!! Gosh, I look at him and still can't believe he is "only" 4 months......it really feels like he has been with us so much longer!

He had his 4 month check up today. He is now:

13 lbs 11 ozs
24.5 inches

The doctor said he really liked the pace Chase is growing at. He checked him over thoroughly and he was really pleased with him! Chase gave him some really cute toothless grins and the doctor loved it. He also said it was fine that we were giving him baby food, and that he really seemed ready for it. He was also impressed with how well he "stands" and said I will really have my hands full as he will probably be an early walker. After the doctor left it was time for the dreaded shots.....my poor baby got 2. :( He did well, though......and the nurse is SO good!! We are really lucky that she deals with the younger babies for shots. Now Chase is good to go until December!!!

Ok, here are the pics!!!

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!!!





Eating applesauce....

Updated the birth story again......

I was going over the paper Z had in the hospital where he kept track of things for me and I saw I had forgotten to add when the nurse placed Chase onto my chest to help keep him warm........(how in the world could I forget something like that?!?!?) Here is the updated post if you'd like to read it....

In other news, I checked Chase's length and he is now up to 24 inches long!! Way to grow, monkers!!
