Babbling

Good morning!  Ashlyn went to the beach this weekend with Christopher's parents.  I know she is having a blast with her grandparents and cousins. But I am missing this sweet face.
Little man stayed home with us for the weekend.  He had his one year checkup last week.  He weighed a healthy 24lbs (no wonder my back hurts picking him up out of his crib).  Poor guy got stuck with 7 needles!  One finger blood draw, two AC blood draws, and four shots.  Not fun.

And on a brighter note, he actually started babbling a little yesterday!  Our doctor had just referred us to a speech therapist since he had not made any babbling sounds.  Such a relief it was to finally hear him starting to "talk."   
 Christopher and I made a few changes in Ashlyn's room yesterday.  When we painted her room last year, it was bad.  We did not have enough paint for a second coat and the streaks and bleed through areas have always bothered both of us.  Even though no one else would probably notice.  So we painted and re-arranged some furniture.  And added a new bed that we borrowed from Christopher's aunt.  Once I actually get the bed made up, I will post a few more pics.  I am excited for her to come home and see her "new" room!

Catching up

Summer is flying by.  I started a new job a couple of weeks ago. Between that and the pool, lake and beach, we have been busy busy busy.  

This guy woke up with a few little curls this morning.  Love.
Lots of fun at the lake.
 Fun with friends at the zoo.
 We bought these "glow bracelets" at Michael's.  Ash loves to put them on her stuffed animals in the dark. Best $1 we have spent in a while.  It sometimes looks like a wild and crazy party in there.  ha.
Chase is trying to explain to Anna early on in their relationship that he will just be watching TV while she cleans the house.  Oh little man...you have lots to learn :)

Happy 1st Birthday, Chase!

My sweet & beautiful baby boy turned ONE on Saturday.  
 We had a really low-key simple birthday party to celebrate.
 He did not like his cake.  Sweet sister tried explaining to him what to do.
 He really did not like his cake.
At all.
 This may have been the only smile.
 Happy birthday, Chase!  You have captured your mommy's heart.

Birthdays

We had a neighborhood parade to celebrate America's birthday.  Chase was napping so he missed our "float" decorating fun and the parade this year.
 And speaking of birthdays, my little man turns ONE tomorrow!
