Chase Update at 11 Months

Chase has been moving around quite a bit more lately.  He has been crawling for a while, but lately he's been picking himself up onto tables and chairs to stand up.  It gets a little tricky when we are giving him a bath because all he wants to do is stand up.

Chase has been saying Dadda for about a month now, and a few days ago he started saying Momma as well.

Chase has been eating very well.  He is starting to prefer to feed himself.  He'll eat just about anything you put on his plate.  He loves peas just like Brody did.  He has also been eating blueberries and waffles.  Chase has also done very well drinking his almond milk with the sippy cup.

Here is some video of Chase playing with the Thomas the Train set at Mimi and Papa's house.



Here are some pictures of Chase and Brody with their friends.

Easter

Brody and Chase had a great Easter. We saw many family and friends this past weekend. Laura's Uncle Danny and his family came to town. John's Aunt Cam and Cousin Jill also came to town with Jill's daughters. We had a terrific time visiting with all the family over the long holiday weekend.

On Saturday, we took the boys to an Easter egg hunt in Weston that was terrific. One thing is for sure, you don't want to be late to this Easter egg hunt. It was over almost as fast as it started. The wave of kids ran out to center field, while Brody stayed near the foul line and grabbed all the eggs he could get. Then the wave came back towards the foul line and you had to be careful it was like a mob scene.



Here is a video of Brody and Chase on Easter morning looking through their Easter baskets.

Brody Entertaining Chase

Brody loves to make Chase laugh.  The other day he was running around while Chase was eating in his high chair.  Chase thought it was the funniest thing in the world when Brody's fireman hat fell off.



The boys also have great fun at Publix riding in the cart together.

A Day Out With Thomas

Last weekend, we took our annual trip to the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami to see Thomas the Tank Engine.  It is a big thrill for Brody to see Thomas and play with all the great toys that they have setup for the kids.  There is a also a story time and quite a few outdoor amusement games for the kids to play.

Chase Playing Basketball

Last night, I put Chase down and brought over the basketball hoop so that he would stay occupied while I turned on the water in the bathtub. When I was in the bathroom, I was surprised to hear the noise that the hoop makes when you make a basket. I came back in sure enough Chase had made his first basket.

Chase's 9-Month Update

Chase had his 9-month checkup today. He had his final Hepatitis B shot, which he took like a man.  He now weighs 19 lbs 6 oz and is 28.5 inches tall. That puts him in the 35th percentile for weight and 65th percentile for height. Aside from the allergy concerns, he is a healthy kid. He has been sleeping well, eating well, and crawling around and playing well.

Here is some video of Chase and Brody in the morning.
