This month Baby Chase's special day fell on the day of the Iron Bowl. As Wyatt liked to say, we were "having guests" so we were extra busy that morning but still managed to get the customary pictures taken.
(Also, poor Sophie (the toy giraffe) was dropped in the store parking lot and was driven over several times so we had to let her go. I hope to replace her soon but haven't gotten a chance just yet.)
So Baby Chase, here is what is going on with you these days.
You weigh about 21 pounds and are about 28.5 inches in length. You are only in about the 35th percentile on weight and 50th percentile on length. Which is so hard for me to grasp because you seem like a chubby baby to me but apparently most babies your age have you beat!
You wear size 12 months in most clothes and 18 months in blue jeans and pajamas.
You wear a size 4 diaper.
You are still a champion sleeper...and still LOVE those two fingers on your right hand.
You are on a breakfast, lunch, and dinner routine. We usually try to give you what we are eating for dinner. You have had meatloaf, chicken, spaghetti, lots of veggies, cheese, grapes, bananas, and you LOVE some Cheerios.
You still have just 2 teeth but we can see where the top ones are very close to breaking through.
We have had to set up two gates to block off your access to the foyer. You managed to get up one stair and that is all it took for me to know it was time to make those off limits.
You have learned how to pull yourself up! You really don't "surf the furniture" yet but prefer just to stand in place.
You also love to clap your hands with a big grin on your face. You love playing with all of Wyatt's toys especially his race cars and Batman cave.
And you are jibber-jabbering all the time. You are so trying to tell us things and we just talk right back to you. You say da-da the most and it won't be long before you connect that word to only Jeremy.
Bath time is even easier these days as your big brother has taken to joining you instead of taking a shower. He is super modest though so when I got the camera out, he had to have a cloth to cover himself up!
Phoebe is a constant companion during our days at home. I should mention that she turned 13 years old this past week!
This year we had our friends Leslie and Mark over to watch the Iron Bowl again. We also invited my brother Aaron, my SIL Erica, and their kids Carter, Jack, and YouYou.
Here is Wyatt, Jack, Morgan, and YouYou posing in the baby jail.
Carter was the only Alabama fan to join us and everyone else was for Auburn. Needless to say we were happy during the first half and they were happy during the second half and at the end of the game. We are proud to show that Alabama and Auburn fans can watch the game together and still speak to each other when it is over.
It was a fun day but a long one which went even longer when the adults ventured out to experience a little of Elora's culture at the Boar's Nest. My friend Leslie took pictures so hopefully I can share some of them soon. My favorite is the one of me outside the front door pointing at the sign that says "No Handguns Allowed." Really? You have to tell people that? Only in Elora.
