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 :(

Travis' 30th Birthday.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!






Today was Travis' 30th birthday! Me and the boys decided we would make him a little present and bake him a cake! You can't spell "DAD" without 3 boys ;)




Tyler wanted to make his daddy a "Happy Birthday" sign for him to see when he walked in from work! So sweet :)

Our Boys.

Tyler turned 3 in January and he is like a little man! He amazes us each day with how smart he is. He is really getting into baseball and wants to play it all the time! He likes to be called "Batman Tyler" at times and is busy taking care of both of his little brothers :)



Brady is now almost 21 months old! He is talking a lot more now (however most of it still sounds like caveman talk!) He is an extremely BUSY boy who is definitely mischievious...at least he is cute! He is adapting well to being a new big brother :)





Chase is now 7 weeks old! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. He is FINALLY outgrowing his newborn diapers and clothes. He has been sleeping 5-6 hours at night and is getting cuter by the minute! He goes next week for his 2 month shots and check-up.

The Crowder Family.

So a lot has been going on with us lately! Chase Thomas was born March 26, 2010 at 12:38 PM weighing 5lbs. 14 oz. and was 19 inches long. He was born almost 6 weeks early, but he is doing great! We also recently moved into our new house in Bristow, VA. We are settling in and getting used to living as a family of 5...well 7 if you count our dogs :)
