2 Months Old

Chase turned 2 months old on Easter Sunday. It's hard to believe that it has already been two months. Reed & I took Chase to his two month check-up today. Chase did great! Here are Chase's stats:
Weight: 13 lbs 6 ozs (90th percentile)
Height: 23.25 (75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 40.5 cms (75th percentile)


Before the nurse came in to give Chase his shots, Reed & I had a long talk about what was going to take place. I told him that Chase would probably cry when he got his shots, but he wouldn't cry long. This was Reed's response: "No Momma, Chase won't cry. He's a tough guy!"
Well, I'll have to agree with Reed. Chase was a tough guy. He cried for about 10 seconds and was done. I was so proud of him.


Chase has grown so much. His arms and legs have filled out so much. He has amazing head control. He loves to eat! He's eating 5 ozs every 3-4 hours. The past two weeks, he has started sleeping more at night. Last night, he slept 8 hrs. He's only done that once before. Hopefully, he'll continue to sleep longer at night. He loves to smile and has the biggest grin.

He also loves trying to talk. Knox let Chase borrow his bouncy seat, and Chase loves it. He has conversations with the animals all the time, which cracks us up. He'll kick his feet to make them move. He will even get mad at them every now and then. We think it is because they aren't talking back to him. We've tried to capture some of his conversations on video, so hopefully I'll get them posted soon.

Here are several pictures from the past few days:

This picture basically sums up my life!

Chase sporting his MSU outfit.

He was in such a good mood.
Reed sometimes likes to wear what Chase is wearing. If Chase has on a monkey outfit, Reed wants to wear his monkey outfit, etc. Reed decided he wanted to be a MSU football player, and he told me that he wanted Chase to be a football player too.
I love that sweet face!
This was the only picture I could get of Reed with Chase.
We were getting ready to go to Cedar Hill Farms, and Chase was obviously excited. He smiled the whole time I was getting him dressed.

He has really been experimenting with the different sounds he can make. Every once in a while, he'll make a loud screaming sound and scare himself.
After our Easter lunch, we celebrated Chase's 2 month birthday. This month, he had an Easter Egg cake.

2 months already...
"Whatcha doin' with that camera, Momma?"
I can't get over how tall he's gotten.
