2 months old!!

Well, i'm 3 days late with this post. It's so hard to believe my baby is 2 months old already, and yet at the same time it feels as though he's been with us forever! He is such a smiley little guy......and he's a total chatter-box!!! In fact, just yesterday he actually laughed out loud! It was so cute. And i've said this before, but I swear some of his babble sounds like actual words......of course we know better, but it's SO weird! He's also got some seriously strong neck muscles......he loves looking around when he's on his tummy and when i'm holding him up on my shoulder to burp him. Another thing he loves to do is pretend to walk! I hold him up and he moves his feet like he is actually trying to walk.........so funny!!!

And now, on to the pics!!!!





Lovin' the Jumperoo!! (we used it for Ty and i'm so glad we held onto it!)

Chase's 2 month check-up

I'm so sorry it's been so long since i've posted....if Chase isn't fussing for me to hold him, Tyler is asking me to play! I'll try to post updates more frequently....

Anyhoo, Chase had his 2 month check-up yesterday. We were a little worried because he needed his shots and we didn't want the nurse that gave Ty his shots to give them to Chase. (here is why we didn't want the other nurse) But we had an awesome nurse and he was such a trooper!! He got two shots, one in each leg, and he only screamed/cried for a few seconds after each. His 2 months stats are:
weight: 10 lbs
length: 21.5 inches
head: 15"

The doctor seemed really pleased with how well he is growing. I gave him some infant Tylenol before and after the appointment, but he seemed to restless after we got home yesterday. :( Hopefully today he'll be his usual happy self......now, on to the picture!!! This is by far my favorite picture right now.....I just love how Chase is looking at his big brother.....

1 month old

How in the world did my baby turn 1 month old?!?!? It still feels like only yesterday I was pregnant! He is doing really good. He is still holding his head up well, and for about a minute or so at a time! He also loves his tummy time, and has started to want to take his naps on his tummy.....just like his big brother did at his age. Also with tummy time, he LOVES to push himself over with his feet! It's so cute....i'd love to get it on video some day!! He's also started cooing and making some super cute "noises" lately....and his smiles just melt my heart. Hopefully i'll catch one of those smiles on camera soon!!!

Anyhoo, here are his one month pics:




And here he is doing tummy time!

Chase's follow-up appointment

Chase had his follow up appointment this past Thursday and he did great!!! He is now up to 6lbs 11ozs and is 21 inches long!! I mentioned to the doctor about his projectile puking and he said since it doesn't happen often and he's gaining weight it's fine and he should outgrow it. Now he doesn't need to go back until he is 2 months old!!

3 weeks

Wow, my little monkers is 3 weeks old today......how the heck did that happen?!?!? He is still doing so good, minus the sleeping at night. I'm thinking we're going to move from 2ozs. to 4 ozs. starting today and see how that works for him. He's had some issues with spitting up....well, I wouldn't call it spitting up, it's more like projectile vomiting! :( I swear it seems like he has brought up every drop of formula he's eaten the entire day. It doesn't seem to affect him at all, unless it gets all over his face. I'll mention it to the pediatrician when we see him this week. I'm also curious to see how much weight he's gained. I got on the scale last week and I *think* he's over 6lbs now! (BTW, i'm also down 23lbs and back to the weight I was before I got pregnant!) He's getting SO great at holding his head up!! And he loves doing tummy time........he's growing so fast......

And here are some pics!!!! The first is my new favorite.......

2 weeks

I can't believe my monkers is already two weeks old! The time is going by so fast.

As of yesterday he lost his cord stump!! I'm not exactly sure what happened to it......I think it got caught up in a diaper change and thrown away. At least I hope so, anyway.....either that or one of the dogs found it and ate it. ICK!!!! Now that the stump is gone we're going to do more tummy time and finally give him a real bath! He's also gotten so good at holding his little head up, especially when I try to burp him. And he is still determined to roll over at every diaper change, AND anytime I lay him on his back.....and if he can't quite roll over all the way, he is perfectly content laying on his side. He's also starting to eat more at each feeding....this morning he ate his 2 ozs, and then still acted like he was hungry! He goes back to he pediatrician next Tuesday to make sure he is gaining weight.

Now onto the pics!! (these were also posted on MySpace)

Chase's first appointment

2:00pm- Chase had his first check-up on Monday. He did lose some weight and is now down to 5lbs 8oz. but the doctor said that is fine. They checked his length and the nurse said he was measuring 20" long. How in the world did he go from 18.5" to 20" in less than a week?!? I honestly don't know if the nurse checked his length right. It was kind of funny....when the nurse was checking his weight Chase peed on her! LOL She said he was the first patient to ever pee on her! Anyhoo, the doctor said he looked great! He said "He's definitely a keeper!" LOL We need to try and work with him with eating more and keeping him awake long enough to eat. Right now he barely finishes 2 ozs. in an hour and sometimes eats every 2 hours.

He does need to go back in two weeks to have his weight checked again to make sure he is gaining good.
