Chase-3 months

CHASE at 3 months old

William Chase Cragun (Chase) was born, unexpectedly, on Nov. 5th. We had a scheduled c-section on the 16th, but he couldn't wait. Chase was born with his intestine twisted which caused a blockage. He underwent surgery at only 3 days old and was in the NICU/hospital for almost 3 months. The doctors said that it was a blessing that he came 3 weeks early; each day in the womb would have worsened his condition. It saddened us everyday to wake up to an empty bassinet, but are forever grateful to our Heavenly Father for keeping a close eye on our special boy. We had a wonderful homecoming in January and are now savoring each moment. He is still undergoing treatments at home that are scheduled to be finished--if all goes well--by the summer. Sometimes when he is in a deep sleep his right eye will slightly open. We tease that he is just trying to survive the "love" that his older brothers constantly are giving him.

Tanner-4 years old

TANNER

at 4 YEARS

Tanner started pre-K this year and simply loves it. He thinks it's silly that he has a break from school on the weekends because "I need to get smart on Saturday and Sunday, too! " He is being just the perfect big brother and tolerates all Logan does to him. He absolutely loves his new baby brother and is now old enough that when he tries to "help" he is actually helping. He just finished his soccer season (and makes sure everyone that stops by sees his trophy), just started tee-ball and will start piano lessons soon.

Logan-2 years old

LOGAN

at 2 YEARS OLD

Logan definitely adds excitement to our house. He is constantly "performing" for anyone that will applaud! He is doing well with wearing his hearing aids and has gotten the hang of his sign language. He works with a speech therapist once a week and is starting to say a few words. He enjoys pushing Tanner's buttons and mimicking every detail of his big brother. He has adapted very well to having a new baby invade his territory! He still tries to make sure that all the attention stays on him. We tease that we'll give him all the attention he wants because right now he is the only one "bringing home the bacon" with the occasional modeling job!
