Breakfast

You might want to turn your speakers DOWN for this one...especially if you are at work! He really gets himself going! Enjoy!


This is how his whole breakfast went this morning! Jason asked if I could hear him while I was upstairs...I think the neighbors could hear him! He really seems to enjoy meal time lately!

April 5, 2008

I realize this post is a little out of order, but I wanted to make sure it got its proper place at the TOP of the blog (even if only for a day or 2)...

On April 5th Jason and I attended my company "holiday" party...yes I know it was April, as I've said before I don't plan these things, I just attend them.

Anyway, Uncle Michael and Auntie Erica babysat for us (and they did a GREAT job)! Below are a few pics of Chase's adventure with them! I wish there was one where we could really see Erica and Chase together...maybe Michael can work on that next time they babysit for us! ;)

We really appreciate them babysitting for us and I think you can just tell from these pics how much they all love each other!

A nice weekend!

Saturday was relatively quiet once I returned from an early morning trip to Target for diapers, formula and other baby supplies! There was a lot of cleaning and laundry going on...it was so nice out we even opened windows and got fresh air in the house!


In the late afternoon we took Chase for a walk! We've been doing this almost daily now. He really loves his jog stroller (and so do I). Now if the sidewalks in our area didn't have 8" curbs when it came to crossing the street, it would be even better!


Sunday our only plan was to go to Scott, Shannon & Millie's house. Millie's christening was Sunday so they had LOTS of family in from out of town. They were nice enough to invite us all over to be a part of the special day! It was great to see such a large number of the babies together again, but sadly Anna and Cole (along with their parents) were missing, so we STILL don't have a picture of all seven babies together! This has to happen before Katharine leaves!!!!


Below are a couple of the (few) photos I took...the first is Will, Chase & Jonathan. The second is Chase "petting" Will's head. Chase also pulled Will's hair, but we opted not to take a picture of that. Chase also stole Jonathan's pacifier at one point. I am a little concerned that my son is becoming the group bully! We'll have to work on that!

Happy Half-Birthday!!!!

Happy half-birthday to you! Happy half-birthday to you! Happy half-birthday dear Chase...Happy half-birthday to you!!!!


Hard to believe but Chase is 6 months old today! WOW!!! Time certainly has flown by! Everyone told me "treasure it, it goes by so fast"...they weren't kidding! I can't believe he is almost sitting up on his own, he has 2 teeth, he's eating solids! In another six months he'll be working on walking and eating real food! Holy crap! I kind of miss my little baby! :(



Based on Chase's expression, I don't think he can believe it either!

Opening Day at Shea!

A happy Papa with his little boy prepare for opening day at Shea (the last actually, next year they will be playing at Citi Field right next door)! Surprisingly Chase already fits into his jersey that came from the Easter Bunny...we were sure he wouldn't be wearing it until mid-season, but our little boy is bigger than we thought!

Almost 6 months!

So Chase had his 6-mo check up last week. He weighed in at 17 1/2 lbs. (his length is currently in question...long story). They didn't give him his shots though, they thought he might have the chickenpox! Fortunately, he didn't! He still has spots that come and go, so we think it is either food related or due to a laundry detergent change...now I have to re-wash everything!

He has two teeth that have broken through (front bottom). He was SUCH a sport about it. He drooled a lot, but didn't fuss at all! When he got his shots yesterday he only cried until I picked him up...then he smiled at both me AND the nurse who gave him the shots! What a super-star we have!!!

We're up for a big weekend...Chase will attend his first Devil Island meeting tomorrow and then spend the evening with Uncle Michael and Auntie Erica (while Mama & Papa go to the CGSM holiday party...yes, I know it's April. Don't ask me, I don't plant these things)!

Here are 2 more videos of Chase laughing...Papa discovered that Chase really likes it when he imitates an elephant!

Opening Day

As we look towards Opening Day of baseball tomorrow, the rivalry at home gets worse! Which team will Chase prefer? What outfit will he be happier in? Can Papa actually be mature and take Chase to school tomorrow in a Yankee outfit?

Let the games begin!
