Chase's First Halloween

Chase was a doctor for Halloween with scrubs that had Dr. Chase embroided on them. Although right before I put them on Chase decided to have an early Thanksgiving feast, so he ended up spitting up all over his scrubs. Cole had fun showing Chase off around his office while in his banana suit, and I handed out pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Luckily Cole took off the banana suit right after, because I am sure his gyn patients wouldn't appreciate their doctor walking in as a giant banana.

Pumpkin Carving

Cole's pumpkin turned out really cool this year. My pumpkin is not displayed because I was half way through and the goblin I was carving collapsed on me. Oops!! It had been a busy week and by the time I got Chase to bed at 10:00 that night, I think I was trying to rush through carving that night so I could go to bed too, but it backfired. The joys of being a new mom.

Polo Boy

Chase will be 11 weeks tomorrow.  Here he is in one of his cute polo outfits from Grammy.  He still loves to tell goo goo ga ga stories and loves to laugh.  Although he hates putting his jammies on every night.  It makes him so mad.

Aunt Luce and Chase

Thanks Luce for coming out to visit and seeing your nephew.  The puppy overall outfit was really cute and will be great for winter.

Aunt Luce out to visit

Pictures taken this morning before Church.  9:00 church is so early.  I can't wait till we go to 11:00 in January.  

Pictures this week with Chase

Chase in his J.Lo outfit, and then in his fatigues with his Dad.

Chase's Baby Blessing on 10/12

Cole gave Chase a beautiful baby blessing last Sunday.  Chase was really good during his blessing, and Cole said he just stared at him the whole time while he was giving the blessing. Thanks mom and dad for being there for Chase's special day. 

2 Months-13 lbs. 7oz.

Chase went in for his 2 month doctor visit last week and weighed 13 lbs. 7 oz and 23.5 in. He is a healthy growing boy. He did not like getting his shots, but I think it was harder on me to watch. He is so much fun right now cause he loves to smile and tell goo ga ga stories. It just cracks me up.

Chase is 6 Weeks Today

Here are some pictures of Chase taken over the past 2 weeks (the top picture being the most recent). He is getting bigger by the day, but I can't wait till he is sleeping through the night. Although he does give me 5 hour stretches on some nights, so I love those nights. Chase made it through his first sacrament meeting last Sunday without a peep. Other than that, Chase loves his baths, stroller rides, and is getting better about getting in his car seat. And mom is loving dressing Chase in all his cute outfits we received from everyone.

Chase watching his 1st Utah Football Game with Dad

Well, Chase is 3 weeks old and weighs 8 lbs and 14 oz.  Which is 2 pounds more than when he left the hospital, so he is a growing boy and loves his milkshakes.  Here are a few pics of Chase watching his first Utah football game with his Dad against Michigan.  He is wearing red now, but we will see what color he will be wearing when Utah plays BYU.  Go Cougars!!!

Priceless Expressions by Chase

He is already a character with all his many expressions.  He cracks us up every day.  He is the best baby.  As you can see in the last picture, like Father like son.

First Stroller Ride and First Bath

Chase's first stroller ride with the fam and first bath.  Thanks Grandma Dawn for helping me give Chase his first real bath and Chase loved every second of it.  

Grammy and Grampy

Thanks Grammy and Grampy for coming out to visit and helping Cole and I adjust to life as new parents.  

My Little Angel

Chase's arrival home and first encounter with his sister, Brighton.  

Chase's First Ride in his Car Seat

Time to head home from the hospital.  Chase is wearing his going home outfit, which his Dad called it his "Ninja" outfit.

Photos from UNMC hospital

Here are some photos of my cute baby with mom, dad, and grammy while in the hospital.

Chase Curtis Taylor

I can't say labor was easy, but it was so worth it.  Chase Curtis Taylor was born at 3:20 p.m. on 8-8-08.  It was a smooth delivery and Dr. Harnish helped make that possible.  Here is a photo of me before and right after delivery.  Hence the messy hair do in our first family photo right after Chase was born.

The Night Before-8/7/08

Thank you Bill and Heather for this fun pregnancy shirt.  I got some laughs out of people whenever I wore it out.  As you can see my belly had no more room to grow.
