Crawling!

I am finally taking the time to post video of Chase on the move! He's been crawling solid for the past two weeks now.

Chase turned 8 months yesterday!

A Night Away From Chase...

In preparation for our trip to San Diego celebrating Mike's 30th Birthday without Chase, we had a "dry run" at Grandpa & Grandma's house to make sure he could handle being away from us. (ok, in reality, it was a dry run to make sure I would be ok away from him). The night went smoothly for Chase, with the exception of his never ending teething - note, we still do not have a single tooth, although he has been teething hard core for about 3 weeks now.

Here he is looking super cute in Grandpa's car seat... We went out to celebrate the Channel's going away party - moving to Austin!

The day after the party was Father's Day - Proud Dad and Grandpa!Chase was not a very messy eater a month ago... But apparently has digressed...

Can you believe these are from my backyard?!

Swings & Skylar!

Today was such a fun day!!! Started out by walking the loop at my aunt's house - the weather has been so beautiful here and we are taking full advantage. Then took Chase to the park, he doesn't quite get it yet, but he looks cute none the less! And then I got to meet the newest addition to Merrill Family - Skylar Zell. She came a little early but she is just gorgeous and healthy as can be. She looks just like her daddy! I cannot believe I am about to say this....but....she really made me want another! OK, I am crazy talking now, but I do love babies!!! Unfortunately for Mike, I have self control and will hold off a bit before trying for another (Mike would have another today if he had it his way)!
