How old is Chase?

Lilypie First Birthday tickers

Friday, June 25, 2010


After our four month appointment (Chase weighed in at 16 lbs 5 oz and 26 inches long!), the doctor told us we could put Chase on rice cereal. We would ideally like him to sleep longer at night, so we thought this may be a solution. Dr. Dobson told us it doesn't work, but that everyone, including himself, tried it, so we took a stab at it. Needless to say, Chase is not the biggest fan of the stuff. I ate it and it doesn't taste bad, but I think the texture is what bothers him. The video is priceless :)



Father's Day

We were lucky to have Matt home for his first Father's Day!! Father's Day last year was very special to us. The Friday before, we found out we were pregnant! And now, we can celebrate with sweet Chase!

On Matt's one day in town, we slept in and went to brunch at Greenville Country Club. That place probably has the best brunch in town! Chase was good for the majority of the meal. :) After brunch we came home and we rested (or attempted to). After our brief glimpse of resting, Matt put together Chase's new exersaucer. Man, that is toy that has a million pieces! Why don't they put some of the pieces together for you?!








Another Long Overdue Post...

It seems like it has been months since I have posted any new pictures or videos of our sweet Chase. It's not that I don't want to! I am just pure lazy. When it gets to night, I'm worn out and still have the list of things that I need to do - wash bottles, wash clothes, clean the house...you name it. It's much easier when Matt is in town, that's for sure!

Hmm...the past month has been great! Chase is getting so incredibly big! It's amazing how much he changes from day to day! We have loved watching him grow and watching him learn so many new things. Here are some updates of what he can do...
- He can turn over from back to stomach. And boy, when he gets on a roll (ha!) we get worn out! You put him on his back and 5 seconds later he is over on his belly. He must do it 10 times in 3 minutes! He does know how to turn from stomach to back but is much happier letting us come to his rescue and flip him over.


- He likes to blow bubbles and make a "tooting" noise with his mouth. I was playing with him one day and doing it to him and he copied me. Needless to say, he does it all the time now :) He loves it!

- He is quite knowledgeable in the golf club department. He can analyze grips, shafts and blades. Got it from his mom :) No, really, PING sends a baby club out to the golfers who have babies. The color is blue and has his birth information on it. We love it! Thanks PING!


We never imagined having a baby would be this fun! He's a pure joy to our lives and we look forward to the many years to come! We love you Chase!
