Chase at 2 months!

Our baby boy is 2 months today and he is growing like a weed! He is fully out of newborn clothes and has even outgrown some 0-3 (although others are huge on him). He seems to be getting longer and longer and is putting on some fat rolls (hooray!). He is beginning to interact with the world around him. At 2 months Chase:

-Smiles and laughs back at people. He is the most responsive to us, but will smile and laugh at family and friends. His happiest time is in the early morning. (Hence the lack of smile pictures)

-Coos and makes baby talk. His favorite people to talk to are us, but sometimes he will chat with other people. Then again, we ask him the most questions.

-Smiles, laughs, and coos at his gym including his colored musical lights and the baby in the mirror. Sometimes he is fussy with us, but when we put him down on his gym, he's as happy as could be. Apparently we are not nearly as fun.



-He's holding his head up on his own. Not always, of course, but when we're hold him he can hold his head for 30 seconds. He also lifts his chest and head when he's on his stomach...but it depends. He doesn't like to be on the floor and is hesitant to lift his head when he's on the ground for tummy time. But if he's laying on the sofa, bed, or one of our stomach's on his tummy, he'll lift his head and look all over the place. Maybe we need more interesting things at floor level. You'd think that Mueller would be something to look at, but apparently not!

-His legs are getting strong and he's pushing off to move himself. He'll push himself upright off your leg when you're holding him and uses his legs to move himself around the pack n play by pushing off the side. He probably does not know what he's doing, but his strength is impressive.

-When he gets excited, he moves his arms and legs. Sometimes he is flailing all of his limbs because he is so excited.


-He can follow his parents around the room with his eyes. This is aided by our love of bright colors. Mommy is often in hot pink.

-He's sleeping for a 5-7 hour stretch every night. Usually it's 9pm-3am, and then he'll go back to sleep for 2-3 hours.

He's also been a great traveler. Chase has been to all the way up to Massachusetts. He's been to the beach. Chase has been out to dinner numerous times. This past weekend he even went to a rehearsal dinner, a wedding ceremony, and a wedding reception and he was a complete ANGEL during all of them (see upcoming post).

But enough talk, here are some pictures.
Growing so long!
