Chase update: 5 months!!!

Well I know there are many out there who may be looking at this blog solely for updated pictures of Chase. I meant to post this a week ago, but my computer broke (a big shout out to Ryan who worked countless hours fixing our computer!!). Luckily I did have my laptop so I was able to maintain some normalcy in my life this week, but I could not get my pictures uploaded to it (I probably could have figured it out if I spent some time on it, but was lazy). So, Chase is 5 months old and it is amazing to me how much he is growing up. He is such personality lately and all around fun to be with. Here are some of the things he has been doing the last couple of weeks:

Rolling over to his tummy. Everytime I lay him down he flips over to his stomach. However, he has not yet mastered rolling back over on his back so he just cries until I come over and flip him back over...after which he just flips back to his stomach again. (I especially like Bandit in the corner of this picture who I locked in the backyard. Well, not really locked since we have a doggy door, which he can not figure out how to use.)
Ticklish. We have discovered he is quite the ticklish boy. And if he gets really worked up he starts laughing just seeing our hands coming towards him.
Loves Loves Loves the bathtub (and being naked). Chase goes absolutely nuts in the tub. This is him in the middle of a kicking and splashing tirade. I think he would stay in the tub for hours if I let him. (and as you can see I had to do some censoring as I don't quite feel right about showing his little boy parts on the web.)
Eating solids. This was today and his first time ever eating rice cereal. He looks like he is absolutely loving it, huh?

Sitting up. So he can't quite sit on his own yet, but if propped up does pretty good staying in place. This was also today and the first time we put his stroller in an upright position on our walk. He was very happy the whole time. If we don't sit him up places anymore he usually does a bunch of ab crunches trying to lift himself up. (and as I am writing this I notice we have yet to take the airline tags off the stroller from a month ago.)


Sucking on his toes. So this is a new phenomena that has happened in the last 2 days. All he wants to do in the bathtub (in between splashing tirades) is suck on his toes. It is pretty stinkin cute.


OK, you can now hit me up with all the "that is the most adorable baby I have ever seen" comments. And....go.

He is the most adorable baby I've ever seen! Seriously--he is one very cute kid.

Laura said...

oh Leigh...must I help you with the math? three of the six were taken yesterday, so that is actually 50%, not 99%.

Too cute! How about if I say Chase is the cutest baby boy I've ever seen? I have to reserve the cutest baby girl spot for my darling girl.

thanks for the new post, finally. i'm thinking that chase is looking like you around the mouth area, that's my current thought process anyway. i love the pic of him in his stroller. he looks so big. i can't wait for you guys to come visit. i'm glad that chase discovered his toes in the bathtub, because drew recently discovered his little boy part and likes playing with that. nice. and i'd also like to comment on my other sister (i won't name names) who i just decided i'm not speaking to since she commented on your blog and never comments on mine.
