5 Months

Hard to believe Chase is 5 months old. He is the sweetest little thing. I still look at him in amazement that he is ours. 4 years ago if you would have told me we would be blessed with not one but two babies in the next 4 years I would not have believed it. This little guy has my heart thats for sure. So what is he up to? Well I started cereal about a month ago and he HATED it! Swithed to oatmeal and still hated it! I had to trick him to eat with a bottle in my hand of applejuice! Finally one day I heated it up and he liked it! So he doesn't like his food cold or room temp! Ha! So far, he has only had oatmeal and applesauce but now that he actually will eat and not scream, green beans will be in his future soon! LOL! At 4 months he weighed 15 pounds and 4 ounces and was 24.5 inches long. He also has found his feet and tries to eat his toes as much as possible, rolls over, can use his hands and grab things and of course puts whatever it is in his mouth. He still wakes once a night to eat. At 7 pm he fusses if he has not had his bath. So funny too he moans himself to sleep sometimes. He laughs outload and it is so cute. He goes everywhere with me usually and everywhere we go, people say how good he is and happy. I always say, well he is number 3 he has to be! LOL! I wish too I had a dollar for everytime I go somewhere with the kids (I usually have at least 2 of them if not all of them with me) Bless your heart or you have your hands full. It is so funny! This baby though is a sweetheart! We love our Baby Chase! That is what all Laney's classmates call him and us too!

Wedding, Wedding and more Wedding!

What has consumed us for the last 2 months? Wedding activities for my sister! We were so excited for her but she has a lot off friends which means lots of parties! We had a couples party atmy house the first of October. About 80 people came. It was lots of fun! I also helped with a regular afternoon shower. Then The Bacherlorette party. She has the most fun group of friends and she is a fun person so I knew her party would be something. I pumped lots of milk so I could leave Chase for the weekend and go to New Orleans.It was so much fun! We even had tshirts made! Then there was the bridesmaids luncheon, then rehersal and then the wedding. It was ton of fun too!There even was a party bus for guests after the wedding! Celeste and Chris always taking care of their friends!

This was the late night crew at the party at my house! We laughed cause it was only 11:30 and back in college we were just getting started! LOL!

Christening

To say we have been busy is an understatement! We are Methodist (Well I am, Jason did join the church with me but he is still very southern baptist!) anyway we had Laney and Chase Christened. I thought since Jason's Mom would be here for Parker's birthday we did it then on October 24th. It was a special day giving our 2 little miracles and blessings to the Lord and celebrating our first born's 7th birthday! Plus all our family was there to celebrate!Sweet baby in his christening gown
Precious and very hard to get a picture

11 Boys

Ever since last birthday, Parker has been saying he wanted a sleepover birthday. I said ok and tried to talk him into only inviting a few but he couldn't just pick a couple so we invited all 15 boys in both his classes and only 4 did not come! The first time all of them came in our house they were wired to say the least and I thought to myself "Oh my, what have I done! It's only 7:30 pm!" Jason gave me a look like if I could I would strangle you! LOL! But have no fear, I had a few activities planned that involved going back outside and lots of running around to wear them out! The boys had so much fun. We had a scavenger hunt, played chase, pop each other's balloon, shaved, had nachos and popcorn and watched movies. Most boys were sleeping by 1 or 2 but the last couple stayed up for a while. Finally at 4 am I made Parker and one other boy lay in his bed with no tv and they went to sleep! Those 2 just can not have the tv on! The boys had so much fun but I don't think we will do that anytime real soon again or Jason might string me up by my toes! LOL!

A few of them "shaving" They LOVED this!

The boys dancing...last 3 awake at about 2 am

Halloween Activities

Ok I have a lot to catch up on! Been busy! The month of October is always busy for us but this year was even more crazy with my sister getting married! I will start with a few pictures from Halloween activities. We went on 2 hayrides, trick or treated twice in 2 towns, trick or treated on campus at Laney's school and Parker went to a Halloween party! We even actually missed a few activities we usually go to! Laney was Minnie Mouse, Parker a Vampire and Chase a pumpkin! They were cute!

7 years!

I say this every year but wow...where does time go? 7 years ago today, God blessed Jason and I with the most perfect gift he gives us here on earth....he made us parents to a precious, perfect baby boy. Parker has taught me so much about live, how to love unconditionally and how being a mom is such a blessing! Being a Mom to this 7 year old little boy, has been the most fun and loving years of my life and I can't wait to see what this little boy is going to turn into. At 7 he still is very into sports. He especially loves golf and baseball. He is very smart but likes to talk a lot (hmmm...where did he get that from?) He likes to do your normal boy things, play video games, sports and watch movies. He is a mess and you never know what he is going to say. He recently asked "Was Mimi alive during the Civil War? Never mind, I know she was!" and asked me while I was cooking supper and eating a cracker "Why are you eating on the job?" He keeps us laughing that is for sure! Parker Bryant I love you and am so proud to be called your Mommy! Happy Birthday B! (Jason and I call him B a lot...have ever since he was little! We guess cause his middle name is Bryant and he is called Parker B a lot and we shortened it to B!)

Me and my Big Man this past week

Awww...my first born baby boy!


My has he grown...7 years old!

3 Months Old

Hard to believe Chase is 3 months old! We are in a good routine, I don't freak out or panic when I know I am going to be alone with all 3 anymore! LOL! I can actually manage them! Well we have incidents of course with a 2 year old around but we are making it! Chase is so sweet. He eats every 3 hours during the day and goes to bed about 8:30 everynight. Still wakes once a night about 3but he has slept through the night a couple of times. He hasn't made a habit out of it though but it will come. He wakes about 7 and is so happy. He coos and smiles. It is so sweet. You can get him calm so fast if you bathe him. He loves it and falls to sleep in the bathtub. He sucks his thumb sometimes but the pacis are still a must. He does not fuss much unless he is sleepy. He loves to be held close to you and to be walked around. He also will hold your finger so tight! It is so sweet! He weighs now a little over 14 pounds. He still can wear 3 months but they are getting small! 6 months are starting to fit very well! He loves Mimi. Will smile and coo at her the second he sees her. No surprise, Parker and Laney love her to pieces too. He is our little man or baby Chase. He is just perfect and we are so blessed to have him in our family!

One night, I thought this was funny. Yes the both end up in our bed sometimes! But I love it!

He had just stopped smiling. So hard to catch them on the camera!

Sweet boy! I love his baby blue eyes!

One of Parker's old sleepers. I have had the most fun putting him in Parker's old stuff. This one says "Thank heaven for little boys" Yes thank you Lord!
