Happy 60th Birthday Grandpa Chase!!

Grandpa Chase turned 60 on the 21st! Here are some highlights,

My parents sharing a special moment (Grandpa and Grandma Chase)
Harrison, of course, with his Great-Aunt Sandra

Derek is home this whole week. It is really great! I have gotten to take naps and stuff. I miss Harrison so much after I wake up from a nap though. I have to go to immediately to him when I wake up to check in on him. He has me wrapped around his finger and he doesn't even know it. If Derek gives him a bottle feeding twice I also start to miss feeding him myself. As frustrating as breastfeeding can be it is also very emotional and I miss it if I don't feed him myself.

Harrison is about ten pounds now and really starting to look like a little fella. He is holding his head up really well and can push himself up. It is incredible how strong even young babies are! We are working on getting a night schedule down so that in a few weeks he may be able to sleep through the night. He sleeps about four hours now, which is AWESOME!

I had my first freaked out parent dream last night. I dreamt that I went to the grocery store and at some point realized I didn't have Harrison with me anymore. I couldn't remember if I had left him in the car or if I had set him down in the store somewhere and forgotten him. I was freaking out convinced someone was going to call the police on me. When I woke up I had to laugh. I felt more like a parent!

Harrison was four weeks old on sunday, he turns a month old on tuesday the 23rd. I was looking back at pictures from the hospital when he was born and I got all teary eyed. It seems like so long ago now. That hormone that makes women forget about the pain of child birth must have kicked in cuz I found myself thinking about having another! Isn't that insane?

Don't get all excited, it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. TRUST ME on that one!! We have enough to handle right now.

Love,
