And please read the "first post" called 'Birth Story Prequel' (YEP!) on our new site! My desire and goal was to begin posting my birth story by Chase's 1/2 birthday, and here we are!

And comment on our new site because I love, love, love that!

Coming Soon...



With the encouragement of my husband and being inspired by a friend, I have finally combined all of my 4 blogs into one location! I've been thinking about doing this and have even had a wordpress.com account for a while not, but it scared me! I mean, I have so many precious memouries and a lot of information on all of my blogs. I was terrified to lose everything. But we made it!

{A new and improved site coming soon}

This site will be moving in a few days and let me just say, I think you'll be pretty excited about one of the "first" new blogs on it. The suspense is killing you, I just know it ;)

Until then, stay tuned here!

Nakie Boy.

Chase LOVES being "nakie"... well, almost nakie.


My favourite.


He is so used to the camera I think. It looks like he's posing here. Haha.

Love kissing this belly!

Second fave.


*sigh*... this smile.


Chase and I had our first (free) baby sign language class yesterday! Ever since we started feeding Chase Christmas day, we've been signing to him; eat, more, all done, mommy and daddy and I was worried about teaching him without really know what I am doing and a mom at the base asked me if I wanted to join a free class! How amazing is that?! Anyways, I'll write more about that later. Gotta run!

Attempt to Capture the "Teefers".


Attempt #1: too bright.

Attempt #2: ouch, ouch, ouch.

Attempt #3: too far away.

Attempt #4: silly.

YAY! Finally, a good photo of his "teefers".
(Click to enlarge)

Homemade 5.

Here are some more 5 month photos. Remember the two simple, yet fun projects I blogged about?
This is one of them.

  It was my first time doing this, so I decided to cut out a 5 with stencil paper maybe next time I will try something a little braver. Haha :)

Milestone of the month: {scooting}


This kiddo surprises us with how strong he is.


Happy belated 5 months Chase.
You're such a blessing!

Owwwwiiieeee.

For both Chase and momma.

Why?

{Chase's bottom two teeth have emerged}
I wondered when it would happen. I've heard they can teeth for months without getting teeth, so I held onto the hope that he would be one of those baby's that didn't get a tooth until one years or older!

And here we are. Chase. 
5 1/2. months. old. young.
Too young, in my opinion and not just because I am afraid of being bit while nursing.

Although, that has already been a bummer. Oh man. I thought it was painful when I first began nursing, but this tops that by far. I can't even express how hard Chase {bites}, already. This makes a girl want to call it quits on breastfeeding! Although it's hard, I will say... no blood drawn yet. AMEN!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Speaking of "owwwwiiieeees". Chase has a special way of saying "I love you". Check it out.

You'll Never Guess What We Did Yesterday...

...a little photoshoot with our computer's photobooth! (more photos?! Yep.) Only this time, it was a bit more fun because he understood what was happening and enjoyed it!


The idea came to me while doing this...


He was a little unsure at first.

But then he saw his handsome self. ;)

And then he found the keyboard...

So then we had a mini little discussion about the keyboard being a "no,no".

So instead, I held him while he played with his toesies.



He thinks he is pretty funny.


Making the "same" face.

Thanks for humoring momma Chase!

Future Rockstar Photoshoot (just for fun)


Here are some photos of the little guy sitting up like a "big boy".
We bought this outfit as one of our boy outfits before Chase arrived.
We were given the "future rockstar" shoes and it matched perfectly!
LOVE it!





(fave)




{love this smile}











Super adorable.


Literally a few seconds later... HAHA.


Can't you just picture a fauxhawk here? Whenever his hair decides to get thicker!



"Can we please be done already?"

I'm sorry I haven't posted a lot in the past month, it really makes me sad. I feel like I've forgotten to share important and fun facts about Chase with all of you! I have a ton of pictures you have yet to see, but I think since I'm so behind you'll just have to check out my shutterfly or my flickr which I will try to remember to keep updating. One thing I desire for 2010 is to blog frequently (I feel like I've slowed down a bit) and to keep documenting Chase's life and sharing it with you. I am so excited as I already see his little personality shining through and look forward to this next year. Wonder what it holds!

His 5 month photos are coming soon because, it's hard to believe, but he is almost 6 months!
