One Month Old

Photo Reel

When Chase was 3 weeks old, we had our wedding photographer, Lorraine Daley take some photos of the 3 of us, so we can remember how small he is, as I've been told they grow up so fast. Here are a few of our favorites.

First Family Outing

Since we have been married and wanted kids, and during our pregnancy, our conversation would often turn to how we cant wait to take our kids here, take them there, do this and do that etc, and build memories as a family.One of the places we would often bring up was Linvilla Orchards.
Sunday was a beautiful fall day, 70 and breezy, and I have been itching to get out, so we decided to take Chase to Linvilla Orchards. During this time of year they have hayrides, a corn maze, and a pumpkin patch and lots of fall goodies. They also have an area with animals and a train ride. Needless to say we were excited to take our first 'family outing'. We know Chase will never remember a second of it, and of course he slept the entire time we were there, but it was so much fun going out the 3 of us and starting those family memories.

2 Weeks Old

So yesterday Chase was 2 weeks old, one one hand I feel like we just got home from the hospital, how can he be 2 weeks already? On the other hand I feel like he has been with us forever. He is such a blessing to our life already.
James went back to work on Monday and races home each day to get a hold of his son. His keys barely hit the table and Chase is in his arms. It's adorable to see. We miss James being home with us during the day so we are equally as excited to see his car pull up.
Chase had his 2 week check up yesterday and he is one healthy baby, which is always great to hear. He now weighs 7lbs 12oz! He also lost the stump to his umbilical cord yesterday. He has started staying awake for a couple of hour in the morning and again in the evening. We really don't have any kind of schedule as of yet so that is my goal for the 2 of us over the next 2 weeks. Besides yesterday's gas pains he is a very happy and content baby, especially when he is getting snuggles form any of us in the house.

Here are a few pics of the lil man

 Such concentration
