The 40 Year Sigma Chi Reunion (UNLV Chapter) was held this weekend - Funny, it just seemed like another weekend with our friends ;). OK, OK, I must admit, I stuck to our friends who we see all the time but there were 270 people at the reunion and it was great for Mike to be able to see many people he has not seen in quite some time and even meet new brothers that he has not met before. Overall, a great night but I was ready to go home early and be with the future of Sigma Chi (Chase of course). Amazing that 10 o'clock at night is a late night to me now!

GIRLSBOYS This morning Chase thought he would help me on the Internet... Here is a video of Chase showing off his rolling skills (although he got shy when it came to rolling the opposite direction, he definitely knows how).

Last week we decided rice cereal would be a good idea...this week we decided we were wrong.

After many attempts at spoon feeding, and much rice cereal being spit out, we decided to give it a rest for a week or so to give Chase's tongue reflex (yes, there is such a thing) a chance to stop reflexing. OK, I know that is a lame explanation, but basically, Chase is not quite ready for rice cereal so rather than frustrate the poor guy, we are going to take it slow. He is rolling from stomach to back quite well now and holds himself up when he is on his belly really well. Highlights from last week are below!

Saturday night at Todd's Gourmet Pizza Night

Great Food, Great Wine, Great Friends - It was a blast! Chase partied like a rockstar (a little too late, if I may say so myself) Auntie Sam gets some love in First big night out on the town with Grandpa & Grandma....

....It broke my heart to have him leave us!

Rigley is enjoying Vegas in the 70's

Is this the strangest feeding position you have ever seen?

How lucky is Chase to have a great grandma?

Hey ma, am I clean yet? His faces crack me up!

And so do his stroller poses! I rounded out the weekend with brunch at Simon with the girls...all you can eat and a Bloody Mary bar? Enough Said!Chase in ExcerSaucer Heaven!

First Food and Other Random Things...

It has been a couple of weeks since I posted and I thought it was time to at the very least get some pictures up. Chase has been so much fun lately - he really is soooo smiley! Today when I got home, his whole face lit up and it was the best feeling to have him really recognize me and be happy that I was home - I will enjoy these moments as I know that there will come a time when he won't be so excited to see me (let's hope that is a long, long way away!). We tried giving him his first solids (see video below) but right now his tongue reflex is still pretty strong so I think we will give it a couple more weeks before we try again. With a little extra food at night, he is sleeping through the night (or until 6:30am anyways) with the exception of when he flips himself over and wakes himself up! Time with my little man is flying by - I already wish it would slow down!!!

Awe...young love :) Checking out his new big boy toys...

I think he likes it :)Mike ran the Red Rock Half Marathon....I swear I would rather run the Vegas Marathon 10 times before running this...it doesn't even look fun!

Really....does it look like he is having fun?! Dave ran the race with him - it was Dave's first race & he killed it! Next time Erin & I are wearing Cheerleading outfits...embarrassing? Chase wanted to run it too!

I think Chase was more interested in Todd's wine than his bottle!
