Sweet Big Sister

In the midst of Cambry's transition as a big sister, she has been very sweet to her baby brother. She calls him "Baby" and when we ask her what he says she says "wahhh". She gets very concerned when he cries and wants to give him his paci as quick as possible. :) She also likes to point out his eyes, mouth, etc. and wants to know where Chase is when he is not around. Sweet girl. I am excited for the day they become playmates! Here are some sweet moments we have captured of her loving on him!

1 Month Already?!

Our little boy is one month old and I can hardly believe it! With his birth, the holidays and trying to figure out this mommy of two thing, it has just flown by! I am going to try my hardest to blog about Chase's milestones like I did Cambry's but I can already tell its going to be a little more challenging to find time for the computer. Here are a few things I don't want to forget...

* Chase nurses 7 times a day & takes a bottle at 10:00pm from Daddy. He is a slow & sleepy nurser, taking about 45 min per feeding. Hopefully this will speed up as he gets older!

* So far, he is a great sleeper. He sleeps in his crib all night (4 hour stretches right now) and naps in either his crib, swing or where ever else he can catch some sleep. Noise does not bother him at all--in fact, we thing he prefers it!

* He just went through a big growth spurt btwn weeks 3 & 4 that put him out of all his newborn clothes and into all 0-3 month clothing. He is so long that we are about to have to move him to 3-6 mo. sleepers for extra leg room!

* At 3 weeks he weighed 9 lbs 4 oz. We don't have another doctor visit until week 8, so I'm not sure how much he weighs right now.

* He likes his pacifier, but could take it or leave it.

* Chase doesn't mind tummy time. He pushes his head up and can move it from side to side.

* He loves bath time, especially getting his hair washed.

* He likes it when big sister shows him new toys. :)

* Chase is a laid back baby so far & just goes with the flow!

Some of Chase's favorite places to be...












We love, love our little guy and even though its only been 1 month, its hard to picture life without him! We are looking forward to seeing how he changes over this next month!

Snow Day!!

We were so glad Daddy was home on the first snow day of the year! Cambry had so much fun playing outside and building her first "baby snowman" with him. Chase also got to experience his first snow, but just for a little bit!

Chase Tyler Hodgson

Well, its been a couple of weeks, but we still want to introduce you to our newest member of the Hodgson family...Chase Tyler! Chase was born on December 16, 2010 via c-section. He weighed 8 lbs 3 oz and was 20.7 inches long. He is a healthy little guy and we are so thankful for that! So far, Chase is an easy-going baby who loves to sleep and eat. He is the perfect addition to our family and we just love him to pieces! Here are a few pictures from our stay at the hospital...

Meeting him for the first time :)
