Chase Baby is 3 months old!



When my grandpa would smile really big he would close his eyes just like Chase. I think it is so special that he shares that he reminds me of my grandpa like that...So BIG!
Now that Chase is 3 months old here is a little update on his emerging personality...
Sleep
He doesn't last in his crib for very long but we're working on that. He still eats at least 3 times between 9pm and 6am. He is an early riser and as soon as I get out of bed he's awake. He takes what we call micronaps during the day - a few 15-20 minute snoozes here and there. He just doesn't require a lot of sleep to function like Colby did. Bummer!
Eating
He eats every 2-3 hours. But doesn't nurse for long periods of time. When he's done he's done (unlike Colby who would nurse as long as I would let him and as often as he could)
Personality
He is a really happy baby and he talks a lot! He likes to be held but also loves being able to lay on the ground and kick around. He doesn't love tummy time but doesn't hate it like Colby did. He giggles a lot and is especially ticklish on his chest and armpits
Size
Naked weight was 18.4 pounds! He is wearing size 3 diapers. He can still fit into some 3-6 month onsies but has to wear 6-9 month pants (due only to the waist size, he is not very long).

It feels like just yesterday that he joined our family. He makes us smile everyday. It's been especially fun to see the unique bond between him and Colby. I can't wait to see how their relationship will continue to grow. If his weight and size continue to increase like they have been he will outgrow his big brother very shortly! Colby is certainly going to get a run for his money!
