3 Months Old Already!

Wow! How time flies! Chase is already 3 months old. He is growing very fast, and I already have 2 drawers of clothes that don't fit him anymore. He's so smiley and fun to play with. He is always grabbing all his toys, likes to look at himself in the mirror, and he loves bath time. Tonight we gave him some rice cereal for the first time, hoping it'll fill him up enough so that he can sleep longer. He was doing really well sleeping through the night from about 9pm til 5am, and nursing at 5am and going right back to sleep until 7:30 or 8am. However, these last few weeks, he's been waking up around 4am, so we'll see how he does tonight. I'm learning to become much more flexible these days, and I'm so glad that people are so understanding! I have a boss who doesn't care if I'm 30 minutes late (although, that's only happened once so far)... most days it's only 10-15 minutes! I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful baby, an awesome husband, and a family who is so loving and supportive!

Almost ready for the Bumbo, but still a little bit of a bobble head!
Mr. Grumpy face
Fun times with Auntie Jilly!
Loving feeding time with daddy!
Open wide!
Yummy!
Last bite... well, not sure if we can consider it a bite, considering it was really soupy, and most of it ended up on his face, down the neck and all over his shirt!

Weekend Trip to New York

Chase got to experience his first road trip this past weekend as we drove 4 hours to Schroon Lake, New York. We had a great time visiting with all of Rob's family and Chase got to meet lots of new relatives! It was a beautiful weekend on the lake. We got to take the pontoon boat out for a tour around the lake. Rob got to try wakeboarding, which wasn't so successful and he is still feeling the after-effects today! Chase slept in our room during the night, which we are not used to. We discovered that he likes to suck on his thumb very loudly all night! It kept us awake for much of the night. All in all though, it was a fun little mini-trip, and Chase was a very good boy. I think he has proved that he is ready for bigger and grander adventures- like maybe Disneyworld!!

 
A little video of Chase riding in the car. Hopefully you don't get motion sickness from my shaky taping!

Matching shirts! "My dad totally rocks" and "My kid totally rocks"

Such a cheeseball!! This was my favorite photo from the weekend!
Can't stop laughing at it! He definitely has his father's tongue!
