Chase is 1 Month Old!

WOW!! I cannot believe that Chase has been with us for one month already! It feels like just yesterday he came into this world, but at the same time, it feels like we've had him forever. This has been one amazing month that has filled my family and I with so much thanks and happiness!
During this first month of Chase's life, we have learned this:
Chase is very mellow; he responds immediately to Brody's voice (looks for him whenever he hears him); he loves his sleep (thank goodness!!!! wakes up between 2 and 3 am and then not again until around 7am); HATES his bath and getting lotion put on; makes the sweetest sounds while he eats and falls asleep; takes a pacifier from Dad or Brody much easier than Mom ( he must know she has the "goods"); STILL has his umbilical cord (it's hanging on by only one little spot now); has the most animated expressions; spits up much more than Brody ever did (it seems that laundry has quadrupled because of this!); LOVES to have his head rubbed while he eats; burps like a man, it makes me jump at least twice a day; is so cuddly, just like his brother, and his favorite position to lay is on my chest ( this is what I will miss most, I think) and he eats like a champ, I can't wait to see how much weight he has gained!!!
We are so excited to see what the future holds for our family! One thing I'm most looking forward to is the relationship that Brody and Chase develop over the years, I'm sure they will be the best of friends and have a deep love for each other. We are so blessed!!!

I LOVE MY BOYS!!

Adorable! I love his bright eyes.

Your description of all the baby stuff he does is very sweet--I really enjoyed reading it.

That is so sweet! I love babies! What a good looking kid! And it made me teary when you said you'll miss him laying on your chest the most. That is the best feeling! Why do they grow up so fast?

He is such a beautiful baby. I can't get over it. I'm sure he'll thank you one day for covering up the goods in the bath shot. :)
