uhh, glao, eaah, errreerrre (Chase speaking)

Yesterday we took the baby on his longest cross-state adventure. Where were we? Don't ask. When the Jeep navigation screen couldn't even register our location I just figured we were in the "Middle of Nowhere." But it really wasn't a bad place to be. Turns out, Chase's Great Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jeff live there. We spent the afternoon visiting with Grandparents and chowing down bean-dip, delicious.

Today we have a very big day. Oh, I have to mention this for anyone who might care. I have a genius baby. So, anyway, today we'll work on: Stick out tongue when I stick out mine (Adorable). Roll over. Kick. Laugh. Busy boy. And then when we get done with ALL of that we'll make some Grandparents very happy.


Well, we better get started...Chase is laying on the couch staring at the dog's face smiling!

Thought you might like to see a picture of Z, so pretty!

A Blizzard?!

Chase and I are watching the weather and we can't get our heads around... "6 inches!" I know they're only predicting 3" for us but come on, doesn't Mother Nature know my parents have A LOT of plants and trees that don't want to get their bark frozen off? I don't mind though, it's just an excuse to drink Hot Chocolate and eat warm Chocolate Chip Cookies for breakfast.

Let's see, Chase is squirming' like crazy. He can actually get himself (awkwardly) from point A to point B (a couple of inches) by doing this strange kick, scoot, kick, twist combo. I'm not sure but I think he'll be wild. So, I don't want to get too excited, but... he's been sleeping MOST of the night! When I get a whole week of this then I'll be comfortable admitting, "he's a good sleeper!"

Yesterday I brought Cole lunch, they're working in Camdenton about 5 minutes from the Smith Homestead so I ventured over for my weekly tour of Greensmith Farms. The Hills are alive with the sound, or smell rather of Spring... I love this time of year and I'm getting so excited for SUMMER! Chase is going to love to swim I already know, he's great at bath time.

Well I better get bath time going because Pops D is on his way over to do a little bebesitting while I... GO TANNING!!! For the first time in pretty much a year. I still can't believe it. Also I have to go to the grocery store so that kind of takes the flare out of my quiet, warm, soothing tan time. haha, keep warm everybody!

AMERICAN IDOL

Tuesdays are probably Cole's fav night of the week because, of course, it's American Idol performance night. Yeah right, but he is a trooper and I love hearing him say things like, "His jeans are a little too baggy." or "SHUT UP Paula!," or "Boooooo!!"ir "She makes my head hurt, I don't like her anymore." Haha, I don't care what he says, this IS the greatest show in the world.

Today, Z and I went for a pedicure, it was lovely except the small Vietnamese boy kept telling her she was sexy which was weird. I told her he would probably date her and that it would make Dad really happy because he loves learning about Asian culture, we'll see. Chase did a lot of smiling, every day he's doing more to amaze me.

Tonight, we had leftovers for dinner, a few Resses and that was about it. I'll spare everyone the little details.

Rainy Day

Daddy & his "helper"

Mommy & Chase

Top 5 reasons why I'm the mostunpopular person in the household:
1. I'm making Cole watch ANOTHER "House" rerun.
2. I bought 2lbs. of cookie dough (I'm still trying to convince Cole that that was a good idea).
3. It's 76 degrees in the house and I'm trying to talk Cole OUT of opening a window.
4. Cole thinks he smells dog pee :(
5. I get to feed the baby

...6. The pillow has a hole in it, hahahaha (Cole made me add that one).

Chase is snoring right now and I don't think I've ever heard a sweeter sound. Z came over and spent the afternoon with me. It was a wonderful rainy day and it felt great to spend it inside with my sister, who changed her first dirty diaper. Not her own, of course.


p.s. I realize I live in a household of 3, ha.

First Time Blog...


...and here we go! For all our Friends and Family; our little family would love to share news, pictures and everything in between with you via our blog. Visit anytime and we (really just me, Meagan) will try to have new updates or atleast something interesting to share with you. Like this for example...

...Today, already i've killed a giant bug (still on the floor for Cole to see) and taken a shower. It all only took 2 hours! I've definitely realized that even the smallest tasks need an additional 30 minutes to complete. Little Buddy is taking is mid-morning nap, he looks so cute! Last week at the Dr.'s office Chase topped the scale at 11lbs. 11oz. and 22inches. Everyone tells you they grow so fast but I can't believe it, every day he out grows an outfit!

Being a Mommy and taking care of Chase is such a joy, he makes every moment of the day special and I couldn't have been blessed with a better baby! Cole and I are VERY proud parents and are sooooo happy we could burst. That's a wrap!
