If Love Was a Baby


If love was a baby his name would be Chase. There is nothing I don't absolutely adore about this kid. Even a middle of the night bottle for him is not that bad because he goes right back down once he gets it.

Chase turned 1 today. Where oh where did this year go? How is he still alive is a better question. With his 2 older brothers around 24/7, combined with the neglect that comes from being the 3rd child, it is truly a miracle that he made it to 1.

Some of my favorite things about Chase:

-His little growl when he turbo crawls it to destroy a train set, block tower, or anything else the boys don't want him to get.

-His willingness/desire to sleep in a portable crib in the closet of the boys' room.

-His nuzzle into my shoulder when I ask for "loves."

-His snotty-nosed, open mouthed kiss when I ask for "kisses."

-His belly laugh when he gets tickled.

-His desperate look on his face when he's being carried by Toby.

-His face when he sees me in the morning.

I am the luckiest Mom to get to be with this little angel every day. Happy birthday little man!

Oh, I miss that baby--as well as his brothers. You create a perfect picture. I didn't know he slept in the closet. My sister Marti did that for a while too in my closet. (In pre-porta-crib days.)

I don't know about you, but I think he might be the cutest Harris--and you have some pretty darn cute ones!! Can't wait to see him and the rest of ya'll!
