Happy 2nd Birthday, Cambry girl!!

How can it be that we have a two year old now?!! We celebrated 2 wonderful years with our little girl on May 5. On her actual birthday, she opened a couple of presents and our family went out for ice cream after dinner. Cambry was in heaven with her cookies and cream ice cream!

Then, on Saturday, we had a small family birthday party at our house for her, flower-style. Cambry has been into picking flowers for some time now, so it was very fitting for her! She really seemed to understand that she was having a birthday party once everyone got there. She enjoyed opening her presents, gave hugs and thank yous after each one she opened and LOVED eating her cupcake. She smiled the whole time we sang to her and she blew out both candles by herself. After the party was over and everyone was gone she looked at us and said "birthday party, again?!" Haha! Sweet girl! I think she had fun!

Oh, and funny thing about her clothes. The tutu skirt was what I had planned on her wearing. Wouldn't you know that she would not put that skirt on the day of the party without big tears?! So, I pulled out the pink dress from her closet instead. She had a diaper leak during the party and my mom went back there with me to change her and she gladly put on her tutu skirt for my mom. Silly girl. I guess she wanted two party dresses! :)

Fabulous 4 months!!

4 months has been a big month for our little guy! It seems like he has just grown up so much this month!



* Weight: 14 lbs, 14 oz (50%) Height: 26.5 in (93%) Tall boy!

* He has become a much more efficient eater! On average he nurses in about 20-25 min! Mommy is SOOO happy about this! (I think Cambry is, too!) He takes a bottle in about 10 minutes now, also.

* This month, Chase has become a much more sound sleeper. He sleeps from 8pm-7/7:30am and takes 4 naps, with the last one being about a 45 min cat-nap.

* We started the unswaddling process this month and to our surprise, he has done great! He is currently sleeping unswaddled completely at night and from the waist down/arms out for naps. He curls up on his side and we catch him with his thumb in his mouth often. Sweet boy.

* We started solids this month. He was not a fan of rice cereal, but takes about 2 TBSP of oatmeal for breakfast each morning.

* Chase started rolling over both ways! Big boy!

* He started really taking notice of Lucy dog this month and likes to reach out a pull her ears. So far, Lucy has been very patient with him. :)

* Chase chews on EVERYTHING! Everything goes straight to the mouth!

* Our boy loves to smile. He squeals, giggles, and smiles all.the.time! LOVE IT!!

* He is still such a quiet, calm, & laid back guy that just goes with the flow. He can miss a nap and you'd never know. Such a trooper.

Mommy, Daddy, & Cambry love you, Chase-man! We have so much fun watching you learn & grow!



Bluebonnets...

We ventured out to take some pictures of the kids in the bluebonnets this year. I was so excited about doing this because we missed the window last year with Cambry. I just knew we were going to get an adorable one of both kids together. It proved to be a little more challenging than we thought with the wind, Cambry out to explore, and Chase not being able to sit up. Here's the best we got!
