Summer Time Fun.

The weather has been beautiful here and we have been taking full advantage of it.  I've been taking the boys to the park near our house.  Sometimes we drive there and other times I make the 2 mile walk with the stroller and the baby bjorn...talk about a workout!!  The boys love to bring their basketballs and baseball gear.  I guess I'm preparing myself for the days I will be running the boys to and from practices and sitting and cheering them on at their games.  It's gonna be so much fun! 

You better watch out for those "bulldogs"!!!

Lead off batter Brady Crowder is up to bat!

Our homerun hitter Tyler Jacob will be bringing it home for us!

People at the park keep telling me that I have my hands full. Just wait till you start running around!

Chase - 3 Months Old.

Who doesn't love a smiley baby?!  Every morning Chase wakes up with a smile on his adorable face.  He is just the happiest baby ever.  His favorite thing to do is to lay in his crib and smile and laugh at his mobile.  When it stops moving, he let's out a little fuss to let his momma know to turn it back on again.

New York.

On Thursday, June 17th, we headed up to Long Island, New York for a wedding.  One of Travis' best friends, Chris, was getting married and Travis was part of the wedding party.  Since Chase is still so little and I am exclusively breastfeeding, we brought the whole gang and some reinforcement...a.ka. "Gamma and Poppa".  We had a great time and I know Travis enjoyed seeing all of his GW baseball buddies. 

While Travis was playing golf with the guys, we took the boys to a New York diner to get breakfast.  The boys had chocolate chip pancakes and then grandma gave them a bite of her "cupcake" (blueberry muffin).

<3 My Boys!! <3

Playtime.

When me and the boys were going for a walk the other day in our neighborhood, we came across another playground.  To our surprise, this one had a dinosaur!!  Let's just say the boys were ecstatic!  Brady ran over to it and roared like a dino.    They LOVED it!!

Chase - 9 Weeks Old.

Chase is finally starting to make little cooing noises.  They are so adorable.  He is such a happy little boy and he smiles all the time.  He is definitely a momma's boy just like his brothers.  He wants to be held ALL the time!  <3

Chase has been napping in his crib.  He is still sleeping in our room at night though.  However, when he hits the 3 months mark, he is being booted to his room for the night just like his brothers were ;)

Chase is so alert during the day.  Since he is pretty good about holding his head up, I decided to try the jumperoo out.  He can't touch the ground and actually jump yet, but he sure did love looking at all the animals and lights.

We have tried out the bumbo seat already..like I said he is holding is head up really well.  He loves to look around and see what is going on.  I can't believe how big he is getting!!

Memorial Day Weekend.

On Sunday, we went over to grandma's and poppa's house for a cookout.  The boys played in the sandbox, their new pirate water table, and swam like sharks in the pool.  It was a blast! :)

Brady loved getting wet in the pool and then running over to play in the sand...gotta love him!

The pirate ship was a big hit!

On Memorial day we took all 3 boys to the park to play frisbee and kickball.  Tyler had a blast throwing the frisbee and Brady loved kicking the ball and running after it.  As for Chase, he did the usual...he slept the whole time!!  We walked to the park and then back home.  It was a good couple of miles in the HOT sun...so we decided to head back to grandma's and poppa's for another swim day (that is after we enjoyed some ice pops!!)  :)

Since it was such a hot day, we decided to see how Chase liked the pool.  The pool was too cold for him and he did not like it...so we tried out the hot tub.  The hot tub felt like bath water so he was in heaven!!

Chase was wiped out after his first pool/hot tub experience!

2 Months Old.

It is hard to believe that Chase is already 2 months old!



Chase is changing everyday. He is smiling back at you when you smile at him and he loves watching the disney channel and nickelodeon with his big brothers. He still hasn't made cooing sounds yet, which is okay since his adjusted age for being a premie is only like 3 weeks old. I can't wait to hear them though! However, he has been making some other noises...some screaming around 6pm every night!!! The doctor thinks it's colic! Not fun...I didn't experience this with any of my other boys. I feel so bad for him because he turns red and brings his legs up to his stomach. I hope this doesn't last for much longer!



Chase went to his 2 month-old doctor appointment. He now weighs 10 lbs and is 22.5 inches long!!! Holy moly! For being a little premie...this boy is growing well! :) Keep it up little Chase!



Chase showing off one of his booboos from the doctor's. Let's just say that this little guy does NOT like getting shots. Poor thing :(
