Chase is almost 2...Finally an update








I thought I better get myself into gear and update our blog. Life in the past month has been kind of crazy. Poor little Chase caught a horrible stomach virus that ended him up in 2 different hospitals and a totally of 3 nights. He was so sick! He was sick for over 9 straight days and it took a totally of 14 days to get back to somewhat normal. The virus actually shut down his digestive track and intestines. He wasn't able to keep any food or fluid down. He was put on nothing but IV fluid for 40 hours. It was so hard to watch him suffer so much. Honestly, I haven't ever been so emotionally drained in my whole life. Both Nick and I also caught the virus but it only lasted about 24 hrs for us. It was so great that Nick was so strong because I really needed that. The good thing is that it's over and he is doing great. He is changing everyday. He is so much fun and so adorable. He is the worlds biggest flirt. He is starting to talk more. He still isn't saying a ton but he has about 12 words that he is saying really well. He communicates so much with his body language and eyes. We're just so lucky to have been blessed with such an amazing little guy. He will brighten up any ones day and make you smile. It's really hard to be firm with him on certain things because he makes me laugh. He loves the park and running around outside in the beautiful AZ weather. I could honestly go on and on for hours about him and his daily life. Here are some recent pictures. Love you all
