Time is Flying Bye!

Chase loves helping daddy while multi-tasking, he loves his new bike!

Ok so I have been very bad with updating, and I am going to try to get better I promise. We have been very busy! Chase finished swim lessons he is officially a "shirmp", it was so much fun and he loved the water. On Easter Sunday, Chase decided to crawl for the first time, scared himself terribly and took a week off to begin again, now we are just on the move. He loves to go after mufasa all the time.

This is Chase on Mother's Day at Aunt Susan's!

Chase's vocabulary has really expanded we are saying uh-oh, ca-ca, da-da, ma-ma, roarrrr, bobabebado, vrrrrum, hi-ya. He is clapping and dancing , and pointing to everything! At the nine month checkup CHase was weighing in at 20lbs., the doctor gave us the ok to start table food. It has been a slow start basically because I am afraid of choking but so far he has had, banannas, fruit bars, cooked apples, pancakes, french fries, turkey burgers, meatballs, ice cream, mashed potatoes, pierogies, raviolios, chicken, avocado, and he does not turn anything away!

On Saturday, we were upset that we did not get any snow, so I decided to take Chase for a walk. It was so cold I stopped at the park and put him in a swing! Sorry the video is a little choppy it is from my cell phone and I was having a difficult time multi- tasking!! Chase can't wait for pop pop to build the swing set now.

On Sunday Chase had a blast going to lunch with Aunt Susan and Cousin Jill, he sat in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time. Chase then went shopping with the girls at the mall. Aunt Susan and Jill bought Chase a lot of cute clothes! He is growing so fast we are having trouble keeping up- he is now moving into 12month clothes at least pants- he is so long. Chase loved the super bowl he got so excited at one time he got up on his hands and knees! I got so excited, I guess it won't be long till he starts moving!

Getting So Big

I can't believe that Chase is now seven months, I have no idea where the time has gone. He is getting to be such a big boy, Chase is sleeping through the night, eating solid foods, and has started practicing with his sippy cup!






















At the doctors Chase is measuring in at 18lbs. 6oz and 28 inches. Some new words are da da, maaa, du du. He has learned the sign for milk, but is also learning more and eat ( a little difficult at this time). Chase loves music time at night he dances shakes his head and claps his hands- I think he has the O'Brien moves!! We got Chase a sled and a new rocking chair which he loves to sit in and watch football with his daddy.









Chase is getting very strong he can stand by himself for a little while, he is rolling all over the place and crawling backwards (when he feels like it!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS

We survived the first Christmas! Chase got so many toys our house looks like Toys R Us! We started Christmas Eve by going to Great Grandma Lillian's, and then going to Mountain Top to spend time with all the cousins at Rutt's. Chase got to play with his cousins, a dancing santa on skies, a train, and the best part of the night was when Santa came to Rutt's house and had a present for all of the kids!
Christmas Day was spent at my parents, Chase had so much fun and of course got a ton more toys!!

Happy Halloween 2009

Chase had such a great week at the babysitters, even though mommy was a nervous wreck and nothing could be right as far as I was concerned. Chase had his four month check up on Wednesday, he is currently weighing in at 15lbs. 13oz and is 26". He is still in the 75th percentile. Chase is now on formula number 5, hopefully he continues to like this one so far so good- let's keep our fingers crossed!
Halloween was great! During the day we went and picked up Grandma and took a ride to Wesley Village to visit Great Grandma and Aunt Susan. Grandma gave Chase new toys and Great Grandma and Aunt Susan gave me a counting cow. Chase went home took his afternoon nap and then off to Trish and Dave's to trick or treat with all of his friends! Chase was so excited he did not stop smiling or laughing the entire night, he went around the whole neighborhood and loved all the lights and other trick or treaters!

New toy and Phillies Win!

So Chase is finally big enough the be in his jumperoo, and he absolutely loves it! We took him to the doctor last Friday because of a cold and he is now weighing in at 15lbs. 7oz! I guess we can say the formula is doing its job. I do have to say formula is not fun, we have been trying different ones, some give us alot of gas, others make him constipated, but I think we found one- gentlease by enfamil.
Chase has been wearing a lot of phillies gear this past week to cheer his team on. The final game against the Rookies Chase and Matt enjoyed the game together, with Chase in his bumbo chair. I can't believe how fast he is starting to do things. Chase rolled over twice on Sunday at our friends house and of course Matt missed it, and he has not done it since!
And yes we cannot forget about the poor dog! We finally broke down and took him to the vet, he has allergies, he is allergic to something outside or in his food. We really want Mufasa to be a part of the family so we bought him a seat for the car, and yes he gets to ride shotgun!

Colorado, wedding, Fair, Three Months

Ok so we have been a little busy, I guess I'm trying to get it all in before I go back to work. September was busy we made a trip to Colorado to celebrate Cousin Morgan's 2nd Birthday, and meet all of the cousins out there. When we got back from CO we had Jill's wedding, and it was the first time mommy and daddy left me for longer than four hours. Aunt Joanie did a great job with me and I had so much fun!
When we got back from our trip Chase turned three months and started having some power drinks, he is getting really big and filling out especially in my face. (formula)We celebrated our first wedding anniversary at the celtic Festival in Bethlehem, Chase got a lot of cute Irish wear, Cousin Jill met us there.
On Wednesday night we took Chase to the Bloomsburg Fair, it was very cold but I loved all the lights of the fair. I also have been visiting with my great grandma Mary and telling her lots of stories, I like to eat dinner with her. Matt is almost done with our bathroom at least the tile is down and the toliet is in!
On Thursday I had a play date with mommy's friend Erin and her son Brayden he is only a month younger than I am, we went for a walk and then they came over for a little bit. Fall has definitely hit here in PA it is cold and wet.
