It's incredibly difficult for me to comprehend that my son will be one in just a few short weeks! I look at pictures of him from these early months and I swear it feels like they were taken just yesterday! When they say time waits for no one, they aren't joking! Even though the first months felt long as the weeks passed (thanks to adjusting to life with a newborn and a complete loss of sleep), they really did go by quickly!
Here are a just few milestones from Chase's first six months...
