Our Daddy

All is well in the Cortner home this week. Chase has been making great strides in the sleeping department. He was having trouble staying in his own bed for a few weeks but has gone back to sleeping most of the night in there. He even slept for 5 hours straight on Tuesday!! He might have slept longer but when I woke up and realized that he had slept that long already I panicked and got up to check on him, all the floor squeaks woke him up. I have also made some new friends, women from my music class, and have been out social a few times. It has been really fun to get to know other moms.
Ryan has made it home before bedtime several times this week and I have to say it is the best part of the day. Chase loves getting in some Daddy playtime before bed and I get to make dinner in peace. It is so wonderful to see how much Ryan has taken to being a Daddy and how much Chase loves him. Chase's face just lights up when Ryan smiles at him, and no one gets more giggles than Ryan.

Chase watches very intently as I type my blog and has even composed a few of his own emails. He sits on my lap and pounds away. I have to watch very carefully because he always finds these strange keys and short cuts for turning the computer off or deleting programs. Anyway, I would like to provide a translation for his typing. I believe it says- I would like to send love out to my many wonderful family members who continue to be part of my fan club. I am very grateful for your support. I would like to send out a special thanks to my Uncle Randy and Aunt Jeanine for the funny t-shirts and of course my good looks.

The Big Apple

Chase has finally gotten a taste for the Big Apple. We have ventured into the city several times now and each time he has been excellent. He loves checking out the new sites and manages to take pretty good naps despite the noise. Kara came in late Friday night and then Saturday we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. The weather was perfect and the city view was amazing. We spent a few hours downtown before coming back to watch our victory over Alabama.
We are still battling problems with excessive drool despite having no teeth or prospects of teeth yet. Chase's hair is starting to grow back but we think it is much more blond than red- sorry. That is probably a good thing knowing what a handful a red head can be.
