Christmas

I'm not sure where to begin because it's been quite awhile since I've posted anything. I guess life with two kids is a little busy! Things are going well. Wyatt adores his little brother Chase and loves giving him hugs and kisses...we are working hard on keeping the kisses to the top of the head but Wyatt is such a little lover:) The holidays have been fun this year with Wyatt really getting into Christmas and Santa Claus. He managed to sit on Santa's lap 3 times and each time he was more comfortable. The last time he just walked right up to him and started talking to him, then continued to have a conversation with him after sitting on his lap. It was pretty cute! Every time he asked Santa for M&M's, candy canes, and scooping tractors...all of which he got for Christmas. He was very slow at opening his presents, enjoying each one as he opened it...he even asked me to open some for him. He really liked seeing what was in all of our stockings! We enjoyed our first Christmas with Chase but he is a little young and of course had no idea what was going on. He was a great little guy for all of the various family gatherings we had. He hung out, checked things out and slept. Pretty nice life! He is doing a lot better at night now and I am hoping he has finally figured out the whole sleeping through the night thing. This morning he slept until 7:15! We have been swaddling him because he is a restless sleeper but we are experimenting tonight with no swaddle...we'll see how it goes. I can't wait to be able to just put him in a sleep sack!

The big news is that Chase starts school tomorrow! It's hard to believe that the time is here for me to go back to work. Chase will be going two days this week and will start full time next week. He will be in the same infant room that Wyatt was in with the same teachers...they are so excited to have another Glassmeyer and we are excited that they will be his teachers! Well here are some pictures to enjoy and I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! We had a great long weekend with the Glassmeyer family. On Thanksgiving we spent the day at Uncle Mike and Aunt Ellen's house with Matt's family. Wyatt enjoyed playing with all of his cousins and it was nice hanging out with everyone. Then on Friday we all headed down to Norris Lake for the rest of the weekend. We had beautiful weather so the kids were able to play outside...going for golf cart rides, playing at the playground, going for motorbike rides, and roasting marshmallows for smores. This was the first time that Wyatt really played with some of his older cousins, Andrew, Wil, and Ryan and he had a great time with them, playing football, basketball, and tractors. He is still talking about playing basketball with Wil in the basement:) All of the cousins were very into baby Chase and enjoyed talking to him and just watching him. They especially liked it when he smiled back at them. We had a wonderful weekend!

Chase had his 2 month appointment this week and is doing well. He gained 3 pounds and weighs 12 lbs 10 oz (75th percentile) and grew 2 1/2 inches and is now 23.5 inches long (75th percentile). He is definitely filling out and chunking up:) Now all we need to do is get him sleeping through the night!

I think he might end up with the Glassmeyer eyes:)
