8 Months Old!


Chase turned 8 months old today! We can't believe he is 3/4's of a year old already! Every day just keeps getting more fun with our little monkey because he is such a sweet baby. Here are some highlights of Chase at 8 months:

* Loves to laugh and give big smiles
* Plays with water bottles
* Has his 2 bottom middle teeth coming in
* Chews on EVERYTHING
* Is a speed demon zipping around in his walker
* Plays with baseball bats (Daddy is sooo happy!)
* Plays tug-a-war (he thinks it is hilarious)
* Trying to start to crawl - he is doing better on his tummy and can start to move in circles
* Only wakes up once at night - usually about midnight to eat
* Loves his new baby-sitter Amanda and her son Aiden!
* Giving us a bit of trouble eating solids but he did eat a bunch of Gerber Puffs and drank a little water out of his own sippie cup today!!
* Loves when you put a blanket over his head and pull it off and say "Where's Chase?" - gets us lots of laughs
* Loves bathtime

Here is Chase in front of his big teddy bear that Grandpa T gave him in the hospital...

Serious Look

Chase is now big enough to hold the bear:)

I can't believe it's been 8 months. They grow up way to o fast. Miss talking to you. Glad that your new babysitter is working out. I am dreading looking for a new nanny...
