Chase's "2 Year" Doc's Appointment

On Tuesday (the 21st) Ian took Chase to his doctors apt. because I had to help out a friend. Of course at this age, he is too big for the pediatric scale so they put him on the regular one with all of his clothes & shoes on...He weighed 33.5lbs. This weight puts him into the 95 percentile! He is 90cm tall, which is the 75 percentile. Chase has notoriously been sturdy from the get go, but the doctor did tell Ian that Chase needs to eat more vegetables, (MY KID HATES VEGGIES!!) and to no longer give him homo milk...to start giving him 2%.

I might note, that just because my boy hates most veggies right now, doesn't mean that we don't offer them...we do, and slowly...he is starting to appreciate broccoli! Phew...

He also said to only give him something to eat when he tells us he is hungry...My kid ALWAYS tells me he is hungry...Has anyone seen him lately...He rarely sits still...He is constantly burning energy!

Anyhow, we don't have to bring Chase back for 6 months to a year. He is healthy and did great at his appointment the only thing he didn't do for the doctor was, he didn't want to open his mouth.

Day after Chase's party...

Chase had so much fun "driving" with Daddy...

So you must be thinking it to...My kid is pretty cute hey?!

Chase's 2nd Birthday Party!!

This was the pinyata letting loose!

All in all, there were a total of 14 people that came to Chase's 2nd Birthday Party! (Sadie, Rich, Dustin, Maria, Harlan, Eli, Liz, Kaiden, Jess, Dana, Christine, Ryan, Mattaya, & Ben)

Our little house held up, and I think the adults were just as entertained by the children, as the children were with the toys and eachother. It was a fun day!

Almost TWO!!!

I can hardly believe looking back, two years ago, that I had not yet met Chase.

Time does weird things to my brain, I really can't recall what my life was like without him...Sure I can obivously recall things like running in to the store without a baby, so much simpler ... But the things I can't recall...I can't imagine anymore what is like to not have that small perfect (and not-so-perfect) little bundle of joy in my life. I had always heard how amazing it is to love a child, and a friend of mine once told me the best way she had heard being a parent described was this: "It is the most."

Being a parent will allow you to love another human being the "most."

It will allow you to worry the "most."

It will be the "most" rewarding.

It will be the "most" challenging.

It will be the "most" hardest thing you have ever done.

It will be able to bring you the "most" joy.

Hmm, so far I agree with it all. But never would change it...Not for anything. There are times (more frequently these days) where Chase challenges my parenting skills, and paitence...But all in all, he is wonderful, and I am glad he picked us to be his parents...

I sure love him...
