Happy 23 Month Birthday, Chase!

I can't believe Chase will be 2 in less than a month. We will be celebrating Chase's 2nd Birthday on January 28th! Chase has always had a fun personality, but now, he is really coming out of his shell! He is talking all of the time and is obsessed with his big brother! He likes everything Reed likes. It is so sweet watching them...most of the time! They've also started arguing and fighting some. If Chase wants a toy that Reed has, he's going to fight for it, and usually, he wins because Reed is such a good big brother.

What all is Chase into these days:

~Iron Man - He walks around the house and says "I'm Iron Man!"
~Hulk - He loves to say "Hulk Smash!"
~He likes Elmo & Mickey Mouse too!
~He LOVES Cars! We watch that movie every day!
~He loves to say "I hold you" when he wants you to hold him.
~He learned the word "Awesome" from Charlie.
~He tries to sing the Super Hero Squad theme song with Reed.
~He's trying to learn to ride a bike like his big brother.
~He's learning to say the "God our Father" prayer.
~He has started liking books...meaning he'll actually sit through a book reading.
~He loves puzzles and is really good at them.
~He is obsessed with Coke cans. He always wants our drinks, so we'll give it to him when it's almost gone. He'll walk around drinking it with one hand. He thinks he's something!
~His favorite movies are Cars 1 & 2 and Despicable Me.
~He's learning to count to 10.
~He's still using the potty at least once a day. We'll probably start training him soon!
~He loves playing outside and is becoming a Daddy's boy!

Before we celebrated Chase's 23 month birthday, the boys played outside on the trampoline. Look at all of the static:



I love this picture!


Since Chase loves Elmo, I made him an Elmo birthday cake.

He was excited about his Elmo cake!

Reed was just as excited as Chase was.

Taste test...


Approved!



Reed giving Chase some more icing.


Look at my black finger.
They thought it was funny because their tongues turned black.

So precious! I showed Will the pictures and he said, "Reed and Chase are so sweet", and when he saw the Elmo cake he said "WOW, that's awesome"!

Love your sweet little spitfire!
