Chase

I've been meaning to write this post for the past um 2 yrs.  So yep, just a little behind.  This is my love and also the thorn in my side. Only half joking. I love this little boy to the heavens and back.  And we tell each other this everyday.  Today it was, Mama I love you when I jump really really high on the trampoline. And then we went back and forth telling each other how much love we have.  He is possibly the sweetest boy. He curls up in my lap on a regular basis and wraps his arms so tightly around my neck and whispers Mama I love you several times a day. 

Chase is also a motor mouth.  I don't know if this is how Joel and I were at kids.  BUT we are pretty silent people and the CONSTANT chatter is overwhelming.  He just wants to talk about anything and everything.  There is no rhyme or reason to it.  Just wants to hear his own sweet voice.

Some of the things i don't ever want to forget....

*When Chase was a baby, actually right around Ry's age, he would love it when him and I would swing together.  He would just laugh and hug me so tight. I wish I was able to capture that moment on film.  After I got pregnant those swing trips ended.  Until a couple of weeks ago. When I asked him if he wanted to swing with me.  The same laughter and hug came back ten times over. Again I wish I could capture this on film. This moment captures our love for one another.

*Chase has a duvet. It is meant to cover his quilt. However, he uses it as his "hoop".  Aka his cave were he hides out in on a daily basis.  I use to try and keep it on his bed.  But I finally gave up, pulled it off the quilt and it currently resides wherever Chase pleases.  He can spend all day in his hoop.  And why he calls it his hoop, I have no idea.  But it is his lovey.

*I ask Chase to do me favors here and there.  So now Chase will ask me to do a "favorite" for him.  Yes, the boy does know what favorite means.  But he calls his favors, favorites.  And his favorites typically include putting away stuff.

There is more, but I have to a certain little boy who wants his mama.
