10 Months Old!

It was a little harder to take pictures this month, especially having two numbers for him to hold. I was going to try to take a few more but I think this is as good as it's going to get.

 

• Weighs 17.6 lbs which is almost a pound more than he wighed last month and you can really tell he's gained weight.
• He can stand on his own for a few seconds at a time. It won't be long before he's walking.
• He will play fetch. We ask him where his ducky, monkey, books and paci are and he will go get them and bring them to us. It's a real fun game!
• He is very opinionated and does not like to be told no......we need to work on that one!
• He loves the drawers in the kitchen and empties them several times a day. I am very tired of picking it up though....I'm afraid that we might need to get locks on them, which I'm sure will make him real happy!
• Says "dada" but still doesn't say mama. He will babble and try to say other things but mama is not one of them.
• He likes to try to mimic animal noises and his favorite one to mimic is the cat. "Meow!"
• He still has his cheesy smile and flashes it all the time.
• He did great at my friend Kristin's house this week. She is going to be watching him every Friday while I go to work and I was nervous to leave him the first time, but he had so much fun!
• He's been waking up early for the last couple weeks again and I'm really hoping it's just a phase.
• He only has two teeth still.
• He's a momma's boy and I love it!
• He is one CUTE baby, we love him so much!!!!

Baby Quincy

We have a new nephew!! He is so adorable and sweet. He was born on April 8th, which is the day before Cory and Elleny's anniversary and also Chase's 10 month birthday. We went down to the hospital on Tuesday night and were able to get some pretty good pics.

 

I think Chase is excited to not be the youngest child in the family anymore!

 

You would never guess that Elleny had a baby the day before this, she looks just as beautiful as ever. (It took me weeks before I looked halfway normal again...so jealous)

 

 

I think this is the first picture we have of Cory and Chase so I had to document it. :-)

 

 

We can't wait to see baby Quincy again, he is so cute. Seeing a little baby made me want to try for another but I asked Chris and he didn't exactly agree with me. ha!

 

 

 

 

Easter!

I was excited this year for Easter becuase it was Chase's first, and I wanted to color eggs and have an Easter egg hunt and the whole shabang....but Chase could really care less about all of that! So, it wasn't as exciting as I had hoped! But, the Easter bunny did come to our house!

I forgot to put his Easter outfit out, but you will see him in it.

 

I had a hair appt the day before Easter, so while I was gone Chris took Chase to his dad's house and they had an Easter egg hunt and blew bubbles in the yard. Chase had a good time with his cousin Cole and Nana and Papa.

 

Chase had a tough time falling asleep when they got home and finally was exhausted and fell asleep sitting up!

 

Chris' brother and his family also came into town from California for the weekend so we had a family get together at his brother Scott's house, which was a lot of fun. We were there unil 9:15 and Chase was up the whole time, he did a really good job. This is a huge deal for Chase, we were so proud!

We went to Cory and Elleny's house for an Easter sibling dinner, it was a lot of fun! Elleny had some cute colored eggs that had our names on them for our place settings, so crafty and cute as always. Dinner was extremely good to me this year because it was the first time I was eating cheese in 6 months! It was amazing!!

 

Chase loves to touch Clara but Clara isn't so sure about it most of the time. They are so cute!

 

Getting into EVERYTHING!

This little rascal that shall be nameless, thinks he is pretty cool these days and shows us just how cool he is by getting into everything. He loves the drawers in the kitchen. I used to not mind because he would only get into the bottom drawer, which was no big deal. Well, he now empties the bottom two drawers and opens the third, but thankfully we have his height on our side (or lack thereof) and he can't reach inside that one yet!

 

I wasn't going to put latches on the drawers because he can't hurt himself in them and it distracts him while I am cooking, but I am gettign really tired of picking that stuff up several times a day. He's not going to be happy if we decide to lock them all the sudden though....

He looks so innocent, doens't he?

His other new favorite thing is to unroll the toilet paper from the roll. Even if he is playing not paying attention to me, he will hear me in the bathroom and book it in there as fast as he can. Once I am washing my hands he goes in for the toilet paper and by the time I'm done, he has unrolled quite a bit! Stinker!
