He loves shoes. Particularly shoelaces. No seriously, they're very exciting.

Peeking out to say hello while standing up on the couch

Getting ready for the football season watching the Bills preseason!

Chase: 7 month photoshoot *(my favorite photos EVER!)

I know I'm a little biased, but seriously he is the cutest baby in the world!!!






















There were SO many photos that I loved, I had a hard time narrowing them down to only post a few here on the blog. Make sure to check out the rest on our Shutterfly site: www.chasebrandon.shutterfly.com

Chase: 6 months

Here are a few favorites from Chase's "Six-Month Photoshoot"

He is rockin' it out in his very first pair of jeans!



Being a model is tiring!

Trip to Syracuse....4th of July....Baptism.

Chase's first Fourth of July!

All of Gregg's friends from high school...and all 9 kids! Wow!!!
Notice Chase is the only boy among 8 girls! Ha Ha -
he will definitely have his pick some day! :)

Happy Fourth of July, Mr. Blue Eyes!!

Chase's cousins RJ, Jack and Grace helping out during the Baptism

I seriously think the priest poured the entire pitcher of Holy water on
Chase's head! He didn't even cry! (he's used to bathtime!)

Gregg and I with his two brothers Rusty and Dave, sister-in-law Amy,
and all the kids. First time we were all together since Chase was born!

The entire Brandon family.

Gregg and Chase and I after Chase's Baptism.

Gracie absolutely LOVES her new cousin!
She is so sweet with him!

Chase met his new "girlfriend" Lyla (CJ and Samantha's daughter)
who was born the day before Chase. This picture is hilarious!
Notice his hand on her leg! Ha Ha!

Chase had so much fun with his cousins RJ, Jack and Grace!

Let's not forget about Bella. She got to meet her two white fluffy cousins Walter and Duffy for the first time. She enjoyed her first trip to Syracuse!!
