College Game Day


Tonight Syracuse takes on Villanova in a HUGE game. ESPN came to Syracuse for College Game Day, so you can only imagine the excitement around here!


Chase and I got all dressed up in our "Cuse gear" early this morning to help cheer on the orange.

"Go 'CUSE! SHUT IT DOWN!"

Birthday Excitement


Today, I turned 2-years-old, and I got to celebrate with my whole family! As you can see from the picture above, I was VERY excited. Even Thomas the train came to help celebrate my BIG day!


We've celebrated lots of birthdays over the last few months - both with family and friends. I've watched all my buddies turn 2, so I was really excited today when everyone sang "Happy Birthday to Chase."

Did I mention that I love parties!?!


Opening presents was definitely the best part of the day. Here I am opening a present from Poppy - it was Mr. Potato Head (or "Dumpy Dumpy" as I like to call him because of his resemblance to Humpty Dumpty ).


Of course, I got a lot of presents involving trains - train books, train tracks, train coloring books, and new Thomas trains (Charlie, Edward, Percy, Salty, and Thomas).


Nani and G got me blocks, which of course I used to make tracks and bridges for my new trains.


I had such an amazing time playing with all of my new toys - I didn't want to go to bed!


Mommy and daddy even quickly assembled a new track on my train table with all of my new stuff. Here I am checking out "Morgan's mine."


Thanks to everyone who made my 2nd birthday so special. I am a very lucky boy to have such wonderful family and friends in my life. Love to all - from Chase (the 2-year-old)

Sitting Like a Big Boy


Now that I am almost 6 months old, I am having lots of fun. I love sitting in my bumbo and standing in my exersaucer. Life is good!

Yay! Cookie cake...a Dera family favorite!

Uncle Ted's Hat


Today my Uncle Ted came over, and we were having so much fun playing with his hat!


Every time he would put the hat on my head and then take it off, I would laugh hysterically....


Male bonding....


Us boys had lots of fun hanging out with Uncle Ted! Love you!

Yup, that's right...I started cereal this week. As you can tell by the look on my face, I loved it!!!


What are you looking at? Do I have something on my face?
