Chase is 5.3 months today! We had an eventful week this week. Last Friday, he began grabbing his toes and rolling while holding them. He had reached for them before, but this was the "official" time. It was right after I posted last week but that's okay. He is just so funny. Since he was about nine weeks old, when he laughs, he gets the hiccups...everytime. It is so cute to watch. He has been sleeping better this week; although, last night, he was up most of the night-teething and/or having gas.

I can't believe next week is solid food! Brian wants to hold off a while but we will see. He just wants to make sure Chase's digestive system is ready. This past week has been somewhat of a blur as I have felt under the weather and have been busy with work. But, I noticed at book club yesterday that Chase is developing "into his own". His personality is coming out more and he feels more like my "little man" than my newborn baby.

He has been squealing in delight this past week much more so than normal...it is so cute. His talking has also increased and it is oh so adorable. He also yells loudly when happy and when mad....he pretty much just wants us to hear him. I think he is testing out his lungs/voice. He continues to flirt with people at church and is a hit at our staff meetings...he had everyone laughing this week!

As you can see from the pics, he is teething like crazy but just the tip of the tooth is showing...not popped through yet. Well, have a great week! Come back next week for some possible pics of Chase covered in avacado!

5.2 months!

Happy boy!

Fun times

"Hi mom!"

"Hey, its weekend mommy!"

Weekend mommy to the rescue!

Mad

Happy

"Hey...come back here"

"Wait.....what is this thing?"

"Is it on straight? I can't see"

"Yoda?"

"Please don't touch me"

Yummy water bottle"

"Daddy teaching me all about the force"

"So that is who Yoda is?"

"Wait...so was Yoda making me a Jedi?"

Arm wrestling game....unfair advantage!

"Hey, dad...let me win!"

"Ducky and me....we're tight"

"Who knew towels tasted so good? "

"Chillin on my boppy"

"This is me teething"

"Cookie, seriously...a haircut would be nice"

"Daddy loves for me to sleep on his chest"

"I like wearing my bathrobe like mommy in the morning"

"Hey!!"

"Fancy meeting you here again"

"Daddy is trying to make me grow up too fast!"

A stroll on a nice but windy day...see his face!

"Daddy standing me up"

Mr mouthy!

"Again, making me grow up too fast!"

This is how I look after orajel!

"You are here EVERYDAY"

"Daddy wants to teach me history...since I will be the next President and all"

"But.....I'd just rather eat the movie...plenty of time for politics"

"Hey momma!"

"You filmin' this?"

Yummmm!

"Daddy feeds me!"

"Tayler holds me during dinner....nice....but I want his food!"

Chase is 5.2 months! It has been a week of firsts around here. It has also been a trying week with Chase teething and a growth spurt? He has been waking up SO much throughout the night this week.....can you say exhausted? I hope he gets over this soon....you begin to wonder if he has forgotten how to sleep through the night? He rolled over from his back to belly (the first time with Brian while I was cooking:() But, I did get to see him as he did it over and over again without any trouble. He also is reaching out for everything. He could reach before, but now it is more obvious. (upward and outward) He also has found his love for our water bottles this week...chewing on them is his new favorite past time...

It is so cute b/c he will reach out for us now......adorable. Kisses are new this week as well. When I got him out of bed, he grabbed my face and gave me three kisses! At first, I thought he was just trying to chew on my face, but once he repeated it, it seemed obvious to us that it was kisses. He has yet to do it again so who knows? He is sitting up for longer periods of time by himself...longest is about two minutes. Brian has dubbed himself, "weekend mommy" It is so funny to watch him say "Where's mommy? I am weekend mommy" Brian also introduced him to Star Wars this week, made up several new games to play with Chase, gave him a history lesson, and put him in the stroller without his car seat! We had a great week but I need sleep!
