Chase's First Week

Well, Chase is 1 week old today! It has been an exciting, absolutely amazing and of course tiring week:) He amazes us with every noise and all his funny faces he makes all day long. We have had some help this week thanks to Aunt Christine and Grandma. Christine stayed with us from Sat to Monday and Chase just loved taking naps in her lap. Grandma got here Monday and Chase has loved having her around to help give Mom and Dad some much needed extra hands!

Chase has been such a great baby - barely crying at all. He sleeps a lot during the day and we are getting much better at breast-feeding. Our typical night has been up till 12:o0 or 1am with him then sleep a few hours then up from 3-5am then a few more hours of sleep and then up at 8am. It is definitely a little tough but worth it! Chase had his first outing yesterday as we made our way to the pediatrician. He is 7 lbs 9 oz so almost back to his birth weight, which is great! She checked him out and said he is perfect - which of course we could have told her:) It was great to hear and he was such a good boy while there.Today Grandma, Chase and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. I think Chase liked being out in the fresh air. He looks so tiny in his carseat though - it is hilarious! We couldn't go too far as I am still in a little pain but it was good to get out and walking.
