Highlights:
Trip to New York
Chase's first trip on an airplane! He did great! On his trip home he charmed Andie MacDowell. She thought he was adorable:)
Chase saw most of our New York family: G-GMa and G-GPa (Great grandma and Great grandpa Nyland) They loved him! G-GMa gave Chase lots of kisses.
Uncle Don, Francois and Paula; Aunt Wilma. We enjoyed lunch together at Uncle Don's house. They each had some Chase time.
The Dykman crew- we crashed Jonathan's party at Aunt Betty and Uncle Len's house. We also saw our newest cousin Jessica Lynn.
Gramy showed Chase off to her friends, except we missed church because I (Laura) was sick.
We got to hang out with Gramy, Pop Pop, Uncle Craig and Alexis. Everyone wanted to hold him and love on him. We also got together with Mom's friends: The Pitfick family, Heather, Andrea and Marin.
Back to work
Mom (Laura) went back to work and I (Chase) went to daycare on November 17th. Chase didn't like the first day... he screamed when he came home for a couple of hours but ever since then he has adjusted really well.
Myself on the other hand had a hard time adjusting getting back to work and am really thankful that I transferred to a part time position at Mission's Health Education Center. I'm still learning about the new position but so far I love it.
Chase is really experiencing life and reacting to the world around him. He is so alert and he is SO much fun to watch. See what I mean...
He is teething as evidenced by two little white nubs on his bottom gums. We first saw them on Saturday 12/13 when Nana Sandy got a glimpse of them and felt them with her finger to confirm:) Then we all put our fingers in his mouth (after washing our hands of course). We got such a kick out of it. I felt a little sad watching my little honey grow up so fast. Isn't he sweet!
We were at Aunt Tara's house for a CAbi Clothing with Monica Jenkerson when we saw Chase's teeth. The clothes were highlighted at our CMCS production. Below is a picture of our family in our roles... Troy was Jesus, Chase was a baby in the department store scene and I was in the fashion show. Of course Santa enjoyed holding Chase too! We had lots of fun, it was a great production.
So I apologize for not writing but as you can see we have had a busy month! This should get everyone up to date so now all I have to do is continue- maybe I will give myself a break and try for one entry a week... hope that is okay:)
