10 months! How time flies






I was just thinking today about how time flies. I can't believe it has been 10 months since Chase joined our family. It's been an amazing 10 months. He is just such a happy and fun baby. He is so full of it and has so much personality. He is really starting to get around. He is crawling, well at least doing the army crawl and rolling everywhere. He loves to stand and walk around/along everything. We actually have a hard time sometimes getting him to sit down. He loves to walk with our help. He has been teething for the past month. He is trying to get his 4 top teeth at the same time. Finally his top right tooth broke through last week. I feel bad for the little guy because there isn't much I can do to help him. Grand Total 3 teeth so far. I would imagine within the next couple weeks we will have 3 more to add to that number(at least we hope). I just wanted to share a couple of pictures of him after we woke up from his 2 hour nap. He was loving life!!! Love and miss you all.

Happy Holidays

What a perfect first Christmas with Chase Baby and Family. With this being Chase's first Christmas we decided to stay home for the actual holiday and spend it together as a family. It was so much fun to have a little guy to spend it with. I'm so lucky to have such a perfect husband and baby boy. We cooked a yummy steak dinner and enjoyed each others company. On x-mas day we opened presents and went over to our neighbor's house for an early dinner. Chase loved ripping open all the boxes and presents. He was so much fun!!! We feel very lucky to be blessed with such a fun and happy baby. The day after x-mas we started our adventure to SLC to visit family and friends. We split the driving up into two days. Chase did awesome in the car. He never even cried or really complained! It was amazing. The first part of the trip we spent with the Ellerbeck family. It was great to spend time with them. Chase got to enjoy his 2nd x-mas.. Oh did he get spoiled. We went bowling and hung out. The boys and April got to enjoy snowboarding. I couldn't join in this year because I needed to give my back time to completely recover. There is always next year. We then packed up and went over to my parents house for the rest of the trip. Where Chase got to enjoy his 3rd x-mas. Once again he was spoiled. Lucky Baby!!! We had a great time. We spent time enjoying family and friends. We had some people over to watch the Utes completely dominate Alabama in the Rose Bowl. It was so Awesome. Way to go Utes!!! We had such a nice time in SLC. It always sad to leave. Thanks to my parents and the Ellerbeck's for putting us up and making everything so nice and comfortable. We really appreciated everything that you did. One the way home we went through St. George and spent the night at my Grandparents home. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa. Chase got sick for the first time on the way home and still was such a trooper in the car. He is starting to feel better. He has a bacteria infection in his mouth and is really teething. Poor little guys! Thanks again to everyone that made this Holiday Season so perfect :)
