Chase squealed for Tayler!

Chase is 7 months! We are so excited that he has two bottom teeth popping through!! We noticed this yesterday....In sleep news, he is slowly getting back on schedule since vacation. He was getting up at 1:00, the next night 1:30, then 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30 and last night 4:15!! So he is slowly making his way back to sleeping through the night. He is such a structured funny little guy. He is starting to scooch all around his crib and is not too happy about it. Until now, he has been in a sleep positioner but he breaks out. He rolled onto his belly one night and was very upset about it:)

His personality is starting to develop. He has been shaking his head back and forth with a huge smile accompanied with squeals...this is his first attempt at being silly. I later found out that it is what Brian does with him. Brian says it is only the beginning of Chase being his mini clone...ha! At book club at our house, everyone comments about just how happy he is! They say he is the happiest, calmest baby! So sweet!

Happy Easter!

Brotherly love

We had a great Easter. We attended Church (I worked all six services but attended the last one) We then had friends over for a Mexican Fiesta and Easter Egg Hunt. I was so excited to bake our new-traditional Easter Bunny cake. Brian and I both decorated him:) We had to get creative with the ears, nose, eyes b/c someone-not naming names- ate all of the jelly beans. We haphazardly thought that Walmart would have more...yea, right! In fairness, we were prepared as Brian went shopping throughout the week-I love how he loves Holidays. He even bought golden eggs for each kid to find..seriously, this is one of the reasons he stole my heart...
For Easter baskets, Tayler got the book Twilight and Chase got a baby Lamb....since he loves the Baby Lamb on Baby Einstein so much...

Brian and Tayler also decorated their second year tradition-Star Wars eggs on Saturday night while I worked the Saturday night services. This morning while I worked, Tayler hid the eggs for Cash to find..so sweet. I couldn't wait for Chase to wear his darling Easter outfit-he was too cute. It was a great Easter with new, fun traditions! Since nothing says Easter like guacamole, I made a fresh, homemade batch and some fruit salad. My friend, Hannah, brought fresh, carnitas! It was awesome food and good times! It was nice to be around friends since our family isn't in town and celebrate in non-traditional style/traditional style.

Mommy and Chase back home after vacation.

Update:
- Chase is 14 pounds 8 ounces (5 percentile-where he's been since birth), 28 inches (25 percentile- a little bit more than he was at birth

-He is officially sitting up with no assistance

-It was a rough week of sleep after vacation but on Friday he's getting back on schedule thanks to Karin's hard work

-He was a good traveller on the plane and was a trooper with all the flying and driving- it was tough for the little guy.

- He's blowing raspberries trying desperately to talk- it is so cute.
