Im not ready!!

YIKES! he's got his mama's evil look


Chasen can almost pull himself up into a standing position using a chair his crib, a toy... He will be on one knee with the other leg out, kinda like he is proposing, and then he will pull himself, but he can't quite get up. I'm afraid he will walk before he crawls because he absolutely hates being on his tummy even when he puts himself that way and once hes on his tummy he cries and scoots backwards. He also goes to bed on his own now, I really want him to be able to soothe himself to sleep so that when he is a toddler I don't have to sleep in his bed with him, and even if this doesn't work I still wont sleep in his bed, IM NOT GONNA DO IT! (I hope) But I will admit I really miss rocking him to sleep and listening to him talk to me, I can still hear him talk to me from his crib, but its not the same as rocking him. I still get to rock him while he has is 9pm ba ba, then he lays down and tells me a story!

We had a good memorial day weekend, I took Friday off and we went to the Omaha zoo, and Chasen LOVED it, I will post about that later, tons o' pics! Saturday Ean and I ran on the trail in Valparaiso, its been, oh... maybe 6 years since Ive ran on that thing and it brought back so many high school XC memories, I ran about 4 1/2 miles ean ran about 7 either way it was a 45 min run that apparently required a 1 hour nap! We played guitar hero, my brother, ean and I tormented my sister about her new boyfriend, even stole her phone and sent him text messages ;) Oh its so fun to have a sibling that is dating!

Then we had a bonfire and had smores before it started to rain.
















Sunday Chasen went to his first birthday party, Alana's 1st birthday, it was funny because he is bigger then she is so everyone who didn't know us/him expected him to be able to walk or at least crawl lol. Nope, he's just a big boy! He did enjoy playing with her though, and ate some grass... OPPS! wont be the last time Im sure.
Monday we just hung out and Amy came over to watch Mall Cop (bad movie) and then we had grilled chicken....great weekend!

on a side note I have this weird post pregnancy thing going on.... first my hair was falling out, actually still is, but now Im growing new hair and tons of it and it looks funny.
You know how you will have hairs in the front where your bangs are, I called them baby hairs, that never really grew, they kinda look like break off, well that's what I thought this was till it just kept growing and its even in my part and I would attribute it to break off from a pony tail, but its not the 80's and I don't ware my pony tail on the top of my head any more....
WERID, most people wouldn't complain, but I have more then enough hair.
