5 months old

These are pictures of his 5 month old birthday!  We wanted to show you all how active and playful he is getting.  He doesn't love tummy time but we make sure he gets an upper body workout most nights!  Chase is starting to grab things like Mommy's face when he is eating and Daddy's ears when he is playing.  Chase really giggles a lot when Troy sticks his face in Chase's neck and zerberts him. 

Chase is admiring himself in his mirror.  He still has two little bottom teeth and we are expecting some more soon.  He is now sucking his thumb which is completely new in the past two days.  I was wondering when he would find it.  It's a lot easier than his whole hand.

Isn't he adorable :) 

Sometimes it looks like he is trying to fly with both arms and legs out straight.

Chase is pretty excited here- what a happy little boy we have.  He's trying to eat his blanket. 

Chase's first Christmas

What a blessing it is to watch Chase experience Christmas! He is so entertaining. We have some pictures of him opening his presents and special times with his grandparents.

He also just had his 4 month doctors appointment and his doctor was shocked to hear he had two teeth already! He's just so advanced:) He is now 15 pounds and 27 inches long. He grew 3 inches in the past 2 months. He's our long lean machine. He didn't like getting his shots, but who does. He is also eating cereal. Grammy and I had fun watching him take his first couple of bites. He is actually opening his mouth wanting more. It's so amazing to see him develop and experience new things. He's learning so much!
