Well the semester break is over, Ben is back in classes as I write this.
We really had a wonderful time together-
nothing like a super busy semester to make you appreciate what
little time you get together.
Chase stayed extremely attached to Ben the entire time,
he wanted to be wherever Ben was.
I love how much my two boys love each other.
Here are a few pictures from the last few days of the break-
first I had to document how cute Chase looks when he sleeps.
Arms spread, knees tucked in, bum in the air. Makes me smile every time.
Notice the blanket in the crib with him? Two weeks ago Chase decided he
likes a blanket. In February I took all the baby blankets back to Utah since we weren't
using them at all. I kept one back, just in case. Chase is super attached now, and I'm
wishing I had the other three blankets that were part of the set.
It's so cute to see him cuddle up with it though!
Chase is getting really good at climbing stairs,
whether they are at our apartment or on the playground.
He thinks he's pretty hot stuff.
Last night Chase was having a ball stacking these blocks on Ben's toes,
he had almost all his toes covered at one point, but as soon as I pulled out the camera
he pulled them back off. I love the way his mind works!
And here is Chase watching Cars.
I bought the cars movies on amazon awhile back and had them
shipped to Ray to bring down with him.
Chase LOVES them!
It's amazing how still he will sit when we turn the movie on.
I'm really trying to limit his screen time, but last night we had a traumatic event* so
in efforts to calm him down we let him watch Cars.
His favorite character is Filmore- the hippy 60s van.
One of his friends has all the little car toys, Chase always plays with Filmore.
He zoomed Filmore around the chairs and floor of the chapel yesterday in church
for a good 20 minutes.
*Traumatic Event: Chase is in to EVERYTHING these days. And he's a little taller than he used to be. He's been trying to play with the fans for months. We tried to always stay on top of it, but it was really only a matter of time before an injury happened (parents of the year right here). Last night Chase figured out how to get his little finger in the fan and cut it. It was so sad. We got the bleeding stopped and bandaged. If you look at the picture above he's holding the little bandaged finger. We're hoping he's learned his lesson and this NEVER happens again.
Jack has started sleeping like that too! It's how I figured out that he can roll from his back (how I put him in his crib at night) to his front (how I find him in the morning!). Chase is such a doll. I'm SO sorry about the traumatic event - isn't it sooooo sad to see your baby in pain? Poor kiddo and mom and dad. And it's absolutely not your fault, I promise. I'm glad he had Cars to help distract him!!
