The 3 year/7 month update...

February has been an extremely busy month for our family!! We are now the parents of a THREE year old...yes, Chase turned 3 on the 13th!! We don't know where the time went either. He had a Thomas the Train birthday party with family and friends and we all had a great time. He is talking non-stop and we have to be extremely careful what we say around him (if you know what I mean). He LOVES being a big brother and is like a little mother to Cade...he keeps an extra special eye on Cade, making sure that he doesn't play with any of his toys and of course, Chase's matchbox cars are Cade's favorite! He has no interest in baby toys...he wants to play with the same toys that Chase plays with. They both went to the doctor (together for the first time) and did a great job. Chase loves going to the doctor. Ever since he was a baby, he has been the model patient. He got his flu shot a few months ago and didn't even flinch! He is 3 feet tall and a tiny 27 lbs, but still on the charts at 10%-25%! We are going to start potty training in the next few weeks so wish us luck. It is so cute, before he takes his bath, he gets his stool and goes potty like a big boy, standing up of course! It is adorable. Cade is doing well. He had surgery last week and did a great job! He is healing well and doesn't have to have any more surgery, which is a relief! It was a tough day, more for us then him, but everything went really well. He is crawling EVERYWHERE and is starting to pull himself up on things. Today, we found him standing in his crib! Before you know it, he is going to be walking, well if he is anything like Chase, he will be running. He is a very curious little guy and loves to be around people and Chase of course. He is eating really well. He loves his fruits, but isn't taking too well to veggies so we are still working on those. He eats 3 containers of food a day to keep up with how much he is moving around. We also started using a sippy cup and he is starting to get the hang of it! He also got his first tooth over the weekend...his lower right tooth and today, he got his lower left one. Breastfeeding is going to be interesting now :)! At the doctor, he was 16lbs 10oz and 27 inches long. He slowed down in his growth but his head grew a lot more, which is what happens when they start moving around more, according to the doctor. All in all, things are good here! The kids keep us on our toes and everyday is an adventure with them...it is so much fun!!
