So "toot!!"

It's tough to believe that this little man has already been in our family for 3 months.

In that time he's been everything from our precious little preemie

coming earlier than we had ever expected he would,

morphing into our little grunting dinosaur

who, when you tried to get interact with him,

would simple grunt, growl and eventually poop.

At times he's been our "angry little elf,"

normally at dinner time when he wants to be held

and there aren't enough available arms to appease him.

Now at 3 months he has become such a delight to have around

as he smiles, makes eye contact and "talk" to us.

He's been our first "real" baby.

We never had a baby that actually cried.

Avery and Austin were super easy.

Seriously.

The first time I heard Austin cry was when he got his 2 month shots.

I certainly can't complain though.

I've heard horror stories of fussy babies

including what a crying, colic-y terror Jared was and Chase is nothing like that.

Thank goodness.

He could improve in the nighttime sleeping department though.

He's graduated to 3 hours in between feedings though so that's something.

Since it's been 4 years since we've been in baby mode

we had to find our groove again

but I think now we have officially transitioned

into our new family of 5 status.

We've discovered that

as long as Chase has the 4 B's he's a happy guy:

1. Boob

2. Bum

3. Burp

4. Bunker love

Multiple times everyday Austin proudly proclaims,

"Chase is SOOO toot!!"

So "toot" indeed.
