See that cute little guy up there? (<referring to Chase) He is 2 1/2 and he definitely acts his age. He has been keeping us on our toes lately with his constant questions and contradicting what we say. To sum it up, Chase is entertaining, opinionated, curious, talkative, clever, energetic, and wild. So far, he’s been such a challenge in our lives (especially in the SLEEP department) yet he’s been such a joy. It really is true that children are the most difficult yet the most rewarding undertaking in life!
In less than a month now, we’re going to be entering a new phase of life– having another child join our family. I’m feeling a little pensive or anxious or something… but mostly I am freaking out! I can’t even imagine having another little one to take care of– please let her be a calm little one, and a good sleeper!!! We have plenty of energy and excitement in the house with Chase as it is! He has been really excited all along about having a baby sister, and we just hope that will continue after she actually arrives!
For now, Chase has me all to himself all day, and he LOVES helping me bake and cook in the kitchen (he’s always very careful and methodical– I love it)!
And by the way, here are a few of Chase’s latest "creations" (that I actually thought to snag photos of)! He loves lining things up, counting them, rearranging them, etc.
–Pennies and tokens on stairs:
–Fruit snacks on chairs (I’m sad that he’s grown out of calling them "Shoot nats"):
And just today I pulled back the covers of our bed to find this nice little death trap:
Very clever, Chase!!! 🙂
