So Natalie and I have been anxiously waiting for the day that Chase's umbilical cord falls off so he can have a real bath. It was down in the foot of his little pumpkin pj's this morning and yes, he has an outie. It is so cute! I'm sure the first thing we'll do when Natalie gets home from school is give this baby a bath!
I have called Natalie "bug" since the day she was born. She actually gets upset if I don't call her bug. She will say, " you didn't call me bug, are you mad at me?". So of course we had to come up with a name for Chase. Since CJ is out (thanks Brandon) we pondered monkey, bub, bubby, tiger and decided on pumpkin. Seemed fitting since our family loves October (Chase's birthday month) and Halloween (our anniversary - 10 years!). And he looks great in orange.
We have discovered that Chase LOVES riding in the car and his vibrating bouncy seat! I can put him in that seat on the island and clean the kitchen, make bottles, whatever I need to do. It's great! He does NOT like having a wet diaper, changing his diaper, or the baby sling.
Ah, the baby sling. After sending Brandon to Babies R Us on 3 separate occasions to find a baby sling that was "just right", Chase absolutely hates them. I think I wanted one because they are cute. I would have been a cute little mommy shopping with my baby in the ever so fashionable baby sling! First, it is impossible to get a big ole 10 pound "pumpkin" into the thing with one hand (per the directions). Secondly, when I did squish him there his looked so uncomfortable with his chin on his chest. He just screamed. I think we'll just use the comfy, user & baby friendly backpack.
Well off to feed the pumpkin! Will post some new pictures soon.
Love to you all,
Brandon, Alison, Bug and Pumpkin
