Happy Birthday Chaser!

Today our Chaser man is TWO!

We can't really believe it's been two whole years since

this little pile of energy and happiness came into our lives!

Our favorite things he's doing these days:

Talking up a storm, and saying the funniest things

Spends all of Sunday morning saying "I go to nursery! Nursery!" and then 

doesn't even look back when we drop him off

Likes to wear his black socks and shoes to church to be "just like daddy!"

Asks for "big trucks" all the time

Loves to play and is mostly just so happy

Loves to be tickled- he even asks us to "tickle please!"

Gives his baby brother kisses, high fives and then knuckles- in that order- several times a day

Loves being around other kids, and just generally loves people!
When he says his prayers mostly refuses to fold his arms and insists on pointing
his little finger in the sky with everything he says

This poor little boy marked his second birthday by getting the stomach flu
for the first time! It was so sad, he was so miserable.
Even while being miserable and sick he had the sweetest
disposition and mostly wanted to just snuggle with his daddy.
I felt really bad for him and almost started crying right along with him,
but my brother Will gave me a reminder of some much needed perspective:
last summer when I was in my first trimester and throwing up a lot
Chase thought it was funny and would laugh at me!
That just explains Chase- he's a happy kid- and he laughs a lot!

Happy Birthday Chase! We love you so much!
