You can definately see the red in his hair!
I just had to tell two funny stories about changing diapers. The first one was the day after Kamron was born. I was finally able to get up and I decided to change Kamron's diaper for the first time. you would think that I would be a pro at changing little boys' diapers since Chase is still in diapers, but apparently I forgot about newborn boys. So I was trying to get all the nasty meconium tar poo off of Kam's bum and meanwhile he is screaming at the top of his lungs. All of a sudden, he stopped screaming and it was more of a drowning noise so I looked up and he was peeing all over his face! His mouth was wide open and he must be a pretty good aim cause most of it was going right in his mouth (hence the drowning noise). It was all over his face, in his ears, up his nose, in his mouth and hair and eyes. I felt terrible. Poor little guy!
The second story happened on the day we got home from the hospital. Tim was being very nice and trying to help me out as much as possible. So he was getting Chase ready for bed. Chase isn't really used to anybody but me getting him ready so he was throwing a fit. While Tim was changing his diaper, I sat there trying to calm Chase down. Tim was having a hard time getting the diaper on so I looked up to see what the problem was. Right then he said, "I can't get this diaper to fit right" I had to laugh when I realized that he was trying to put one of Kamron's diapers on Chase. It took me awhile to stop laughing and explain why he couldn't get it to fit.
But thanks hun, I really do appreciate all you did and are doing to help since the baby was born!!!
Here are a few new pictures I wanted to share!!!
Chase might be a little jealous!
He is so tiny, he doesn't even really fit in his carseat
All my boys!!!
Matt and his cheesy smile.
The day I got home from the hospital we realized we had a problem. I wasn't supposed to pick up anything heavier than Kamron (6 lbs) and Chase was still sleeping in the crib. I hadn't even thought about how I was going to get him in and out until my mom mentioned it. So Tim took the front off the crib so Chase could climb in and out all by himself. He thought it was really cool but I was a little hesitant. I wanted to keep him in the crib as long as possible to put off dealing with him being able to get out of bed on his own.
We bought bunkbeds a few months ago but hadn't put them up because of our plans to keep Chase in the crib and out of pure laziness. For some reason, I guess talking about sleeping arrangements for Chase, Tim decided to put up the bunkbeds that night also. The plan was to let Matt sleep on the top bunk and eventually (preferrably after we bought a second twin mattress) we would move Chase in there too. Well Chase "helped" daddy put the bunkbeds up and the whole time Tim was telling him how one of the beds would be for him someday. Tim finished putting the beds together at about the boys bedtime (it took a lot longer than he thought it would go figure). So Tim told Chase to go get in bed. Matt's bedding was still on the floor and Chase grabbed his blanket and pillow and put them on the bottom bunk and climbed in. Tim said no go get in your crib. Well Chase saw these cool beds and there was no way he was getting back in the crib. We tried carrying him back to his room but he kicked and screamed and would just run back to the bunkbeds. So eventually we decided to let him try the bunk. I think he fell out of bed three times that night (another reason I wanted to keep him in the enclosed crib) and there have only been a couple of nights in the 2 weeks since he has been sleeping in the bunk bed that he hasn't fallen out. But he still loves it. He has even been pretty good about staying in bed once it is bed time or nap time.
This morning I decided I was going to get up and take a shower and blow dry my hair and get dressed in something besides pajamas so I could feel like a real person (this hadn't happened yet since I had the baby). So I decided to put Chase in the shower with me to make it easier than trying to bend over the bathtub for his bath. When we got out of the shower, he ran off as usual so I decided to hurry and get dressed before I chased him down and got him dressed. As I was getting something out of my dresser I looked across the hall into his room. I saw a bunch of stuff on the floor so I decided to go investigate. Turns out he had pooped on his bedroom floor (that is a first!) But not only that, he had stepped in it with both feet and tracked it all over his room. It was smashed on the bottom of both feet and in between all of his toes! So I started to clean it up right away before it got tracked around anymore and Chase sat down to watch. After I got it surface cleaned (I still need to use the carpet cleaner that Debbie let me borrow) I looked at Chase sitting on the carpet and asked him to stand up. Sure enough, there was poo all over his bum and now more on the carpet. I think it must be time to start potty training.
Chase got to come by the hospital on Halloween in his Scooby Doo costume. He loves holding his baby brother.
Right after surgery!
He weighed 6 lbs 7.4 oz
Proud Papa!!!
