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!!

Wow.....

Last night, Chase went to sleep at a little after 7pm...............................and slept until 4am!!!!! That's the longest he's slept, even when he was in utero!! Even if this is a fluke, I will gladly take it...........

WOOHOO!!!!!!

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.....
