Chase on the beach for the first time!

The sisters weekend away


Eating carrots for the first time


I think this is "am I in trouble" face...

He is enjoying this toy more and more




In the big boy bath...


After eating carrots...yeah, that was messy.

Coming to get us...




He's getting the hang of the jumper and loves to bounce

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.

I love eating food!


We're not quite done with this "toy"





Yay! I'm going to the beach this week!


I think I'll skip crawling and go straight to walking


Hang 10, dude.

Showing off my preppy spring style

My toes look so tasty....

Or maybe not so tasty....

notice the "orb" in the background...scary!

Mommy is being very funny!

Karin is out of town this week and so I am filling in for her. My comments aren't quite as clever but I'll do my best on the update.

-After some very long nights recently Chase has begun sleeping consistently from 8-6:30/7
-He has begun taking 1 1/2 hour naps
-We go to the doctor on Tuesday for his six month check-up but we think he's in the 14-15 pound range
-We moved him from the infant bath to the regular tub- he loved it and laughed so much at the rubber ducky
-He is sitting up consistently for long periods of time- he still doesn't like being on his belly but loves standing and trying to walk.
-We know it's early but we swear he is saying "hi" in Karin's southern drawl
-He took his first plane trip with Karin as they headed to Savanah, Georgia (his first trip to the beach as well)
-Sadly, the first time I've been away from him for several days
-He is still very curious, alert, loving and easy going-yes, he really does smile this much. I think he's getting used to the flashing camera

Playing

Gloworm, I've missed you

Hey!

This week flew by! Chase ate sweet potatoes for the first time and loves them! I made them in the food processor and loved that! I got 20 meals for $1.00! You can't beat it...and it is better for them. He scooted in a half circle this week and is fully sitting up on his own. He had a sleepless night but thank goodness that seems to be just a one night occurence. He is growing so fast and I think that he is getting hungrier. I decided to feed him lunch today and dinner...we will see how he responds. He ate three servings at lunch along with breastfeeding! His tooth looks like it will appear very soon and it may be accompanied by a friend! We will see!
