Some Serious Blog Slacking

Okay, okay...I know it has been a long time since my mom and I updated the blog. A lot has been happening around here in the last few months, and we've been extremely busy. I'm sure most of you have heard by now that I am going to be a big brother. The baby is due on September 19th, and we couldn't be more excited! Here is a picture of Baby Dera from our last appointment, which was on Tuesday. My mom wished she had the camera during the appointment because I kept waving at the monitor screen, and I was making everyone laugh!

My mom hasn't been feeling very good for the last three months...something called "morning sickness." I am not sure why they call it that because she is sick all day long, especially at night. As you can see from the pictures below, I have been helping out around the house as much as I can.

The laundry around here just keeps piling up!

Just a few quick things to update you on what I have been doing since January. When I was 9 months old, I started crawling, and I haven't stopped moving since. I am working on walking now, but I still prefer crawling....it's much faster to get me where I want to go. My mom can barely keep up with me these days.


I also had a visit from my great grandfather, Poppy, and he and G gave me my first "real" haircut. I say "real haircut" because my dad tried to trim my hair one night after a bath, and it was pretty much a disaster (those of you who saw it know exactly what I am talking about)!


I have been playing a lot with my toys, and I always find new ways to use them. Here I am being silly with Aunt Jen...we decided to wear the basketballs on our heads.


And lastly, I am enjoying a "big boy bath" every night. My mom and dad got rid of the infant tub, and now they let me spash and swim all over the place. Bath time is still my favorite part of the day, and it's my special bonding time with daddy.



Stay tuned for more pictures coming soon....I am hoping to have birthday pictures on the blog in a few days.
All my love,
Chase Joseph

Superbowl Fun

There was a lot of hype surrounding the Superbowl this year, only because my mom and dad throw a big party and their friends from college come up for the weekend. I was promised a good time, but I had no idea how much fun we were going to have. The picture above is me with Kristin and Ted. Ted is a huge Duke fan, but we caught this picture of him holding an SU basketball. I think it was his way of saying, "Go SU!"

The whole weekend I was pretty fascinated with Ted, and I especially loved playing with his face. Thanks for being such a good sport, Ted!

Here I am on the couch with Kristin and Pete....we are "in training" for Superbowl Sunday. And unfortunately, that ends the pictures for Superbowl weekend. We had so much fun that my mom didn't even pick up the camera again. Sorry!
