He Made the Move!

This week, Chase showed me that he is more aware than I realized...in his short 12 weeks of life, he has discovered that if he wakes up and whines just the littlest bit in the morning then mommy picks him up and puts him in bed with her where it is warm and cuddly.

I know that he is conscious of this because as soon as he is in my bed, the whining stops. This was becoming quite the ritual and although I love it dearly, it was obvious that Chase was picking up the ritual and turning it into a habit. I then realized that Chase is a growing boy and as such, he should probably make the permanent move to Casa de Chase (his bedroom). Although I am more than happy to bring him back to my room with me in the mornings, I didn't want him to think that our room is his room...SO....much to my broken heart, we have moved him to his room to let him grow and flourish as an independent being (but if it were up to me, he would be warm and cuddly with me for ever).

Here is Chase last Tuesday night in his big boy crib....

and in the morning after a night of waking almost every hour on the hour....

and posing post bath...

And in other family news, Lauren and Shane are yet another year older and wiser - we had their joint birthday celebration last Tuesday as well. Happy Birthday Girls!

So I totally wanted to put a new video of Chase up on the blog, but unfortunately, I am having technical difficulties. Therefore, I am going to post this post and spend the next week trying to figure it out. I am sure you all cannot wait to see Chase doing a lot of nothing on video, but it makes me happy :O)
