Happy 2nd Birthday Chasey!

The day got started perfectly! Our very special friend, Rose, sent Chasey's birthday package and it arrived on his special day. So the morning began opening presents! I still remember Rose's presents from when I was a little girl, she always picks the best stuff!

This little Elmo is so cute! He makes smooching noises when you press his hand to his mouth.

Chasey loved it!

Happy Birthday Boy

Present time! Mommy and Daddy bought Chasey some tractors.

Good thing Chasey has Colby to help open presents!

And a super cute little ride on fire engine. I've never seen a cuter fireman!

I can't believe my baby is 2! He is still my Chasey Baby and will always be. Now that he's two here are a few of things about Chasey...

Speech: He talks all the time! He says 6 + word sentences and always keeps us laughing. He will frequently ask, "Where daddy are?" when Jason is at work. He knows that daddy works at the Police A-C-A-D-E-M-Y (he is careful to articulate every letter), and mommy works at Children's 'Hosbible'. He says Bob the Builder with the cutest Boston accent (no clue where that came from). He is not shy and will always talk to anyone that will listen.

Interests: This is a boy that loves to be on the go! When Colby is at preschool often Chasey and I will run errands. Chasey will say, "No go home mommy" because he loves to be out and about. He loves Bauer. He is a mama's boy and a bit of a drama king, I never knew it was possible to cry and laugh at the same time but Chasey has it mastered. He has two favorite loveys, Sun and Moon (two teddy bears). He also has a couple of special blankies. He loves Toy Story but enjoys playing with cars and trains too. He enjoys talking about potties, poop and pee but not too interested in doing more than just sitting on the potty.

Food: He is an ok eater, somedays he eats great and other days not so much. He does love veggies and salad (not something I would expect from a 2 year old). He loves milk too. He can feed himself, it just depends on if he chooses to that day or not.

Sleep: He is a great sleeper, taking one 2 to 3 hour nap a day and sleeping from 7:30 at night to 7:30 in the morning.

Motor: He is always "jumping for joy" as Suka says, he jumps up and down all the time, he is great at going up and down stairs (holding on to something on the way up but can do a few steps down without any assistance). 

Size: He is wearing mostly 2T and some 3T stuff (it's so handy,  I put it straight from Colby's closet into Chasey's.)  He was 31 pounds, 2 ounces (80th percentile for weight) and 36 inches tall (85th for height).  (Colby was 30 pounds, 10 ounces and 35 1/2 inches tall, so Chasey is still a little bigger than he was - which is only fair since Chasey came out weighing 1 pound, 4 ounces more than Colby did at birth!)

Chasey is always saying things and doing things to make us laugh, he has brought nothing but joy to our lives since the day he was born and we thank God for him everyday!
