We are so happy and excited to introduce our sweet little baby boy, Chase Holden Dodson! Mom, baby Chase, Dad and BIG brother Lance are all doing great! Chase is an excellent little eater - took right to the breastfeeding. And a great little pooper too! LOL. Lance likes to watch Chase get his poopy diaper changed. Lance adores his little brother and loves to hold him, hug him and give him kisses. Melts my heart!!!!! I'll stop the narration, and let you get to the good stuff - the pictures!!

So I uploaded the pictures in the wrong order and because Chase is sleeping right now and I am exhausted and want to get some sleep before he wakes for the next feeding, I am going to leave them AS IS, and you can scroll to the bottom of the page if you want to view them in order of how the day happened! :-) More posts to come with pictures of visitors and Lance and Chase too of course!

Lance kissing on Chase! He is going to be SUCH a great BIG brother.

He loves to hold him too! Dave and Benno were up to visit and Lance didn't want to let go of Chase to give them a turn to hold him. "Lance hold Chase!"

HAPPY, naked Chase after a feeding.

Our first picture as a family of 4! Lance was SO excited and seemed to know exactly what was going on and who Chase was. He held out his little arms and said "hold this" We caught some great video that I will post one of these days when we get home.

Grandpa getting some Chase time! Grandma keeps calling him the "baby hog!" LOL

Proud and happy Daddy.

One of the joys of being a Grandparent. Thanks so Grandma and Grandpa for coming down to help give Lance a little extra attention too.

Grandma holds Chase for the first time.

The newest addition to the family.

SO in love. Chase is sucking on his two little webbed fingers (the same two fingers that Dad had webbed when he was born!)

So relieved and happy to see our healthy little guy!
