Chasey Turns One!!!

Here are some of the pictures from the BIG GIANT first birthday party...


Now that our little Chase Baby is one I thought I would give an update on what is going on in his world...
Size: He wears mostly 12 month clothes now, 18 month pants work if I can roll the waist band.
Speech: He says, mama, dada and up. He signs for drink (and if that doesn't work he'll crawl over to the fridge and hang on it and whine until we get the hint), milk, help, please and more.
Teeth: He still has 4 on top and 4 on bottom
Motor: The day before his birthday he took 6 steps and everyday he gets a little more brave. It requires a lot of encouragement though! He still much prefers to crawl. He climbs on everything! He loves going up the stairs and now he knows how to go down the stairs too. Hooray! He can climb into the bathtub and the dryer.
Likes: He loves to be held, loves milk, loves string cheese and watermelon. He loves playing with or near Colby, loves to be outside, loves phones (and makes any object into a pretend phone), loves the remotes, enjoys being in the car, still loves his paci (but only uses it for naps, bedtime and long car rides), loves taking baths.
Dislikes: Wow...I have been sitting here for a couple of minutes trying to think of something he doesn't like and nothing is coming to mind! He's such an easy going baby, we are so blessed!

I can't believe it's been a year. I had no idea how we would do it with another baby so soon but Chase has been just what our family needed. It blows my mind to think that our family, our marriage, even Colby, we were all designed with the plan of Chase's arrival in mind. We were all designed to be what Chase needed and he is exactly what we needed too. He is such a happy, loving and easy baby. He is active and energetic and very smart. He is a joy to be around and has really enhanced all of our lives more than I could have ever imagined. We love you Chasey and we're so lucky to be your family!
