Chase - 2 years, 8 months

Someone else is another month older!

Here is a (relatively) brief summary of the past month:

Chase's favorite word is No. He'll have a complete meltdown if you do even the tiniest thing "wrong".

He won't eat anything anymore!  He lives off nuggets and hummus, fruit chews, and milk.  Oh, and he loves "gookies" (cookies).

He loves the Avengers.  Cap'n. Eye-n man. Huck (stong). A-Tor.

He loves the iPhone and his apps.

He says bye-bye to everything now.  And lately it's been coming out bye-bye Gigi (to everything...to TV show credits, to his friends at school, to me!)

Potty training still seems like it is a million years away.  Even when he has to go, he will hold it and not go in the potty and then go 10 minutes after we put his diaper back on.  I haven't quite figured out what his motivation will be.  M&M's aren't working.  He doesn't care about big boy underwear.  Stickers mean nothing to him.  He likes cheering and praise, but that's not enough to make him want to use the potty.  "Chase, you want to go potty?" "No"....every time!  Oh well, we'll keep trying!

He gives a kiss to me and Cooper every night before bed and sometimes he'll come back for a second kiss.  It's really just the sweetest thing ever!  His favorite books right now are the Avenger books Uncle Trey bought for him and Little Gorilla.

I interviewed Chase the other week.  "Chase, what's your favorite color?" "Blue".  "Chase, what's your favorite animal?" "Cow, Moo".  "Chase, who's your favorite - Momma or Dada?" "Momma-Dada".

We took off the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs, so we have a little more trust in him now with the stairs.  He loves to jump off the bottom stair and say "Kang-a-ROOOOO"!
