Well, he's not much of a peanut anymore, because he's growing up so fast! We had his 2-month checkup at the pediatrician's office this morning. He weighed in at 11lbs. 10oz. and measured 22 1/2", which is 50th percentile for both. So, we're average, for now. :) And I have to admit, when the doc ran through all the standard questions, I lied when he asked if we were still putting him to sleep on his back. I know, it was wrong of me, but I didn't want to get lectured about putting him on his tummy. He prefers his tummy and sleeps much better on it, so it makes us both happy. :) He's had this cold and congestion for nearly two weeks now, so the doc wanted to measure his pulse-ox before giving him his vaccines, just to make sure his congestion wasn't causing him too much trouble. 
After confirming it was at 100%, he got three shots and one oral vaccine. But he took them like a champ and only cried for a minute. All he needed was his mommy to soothe him afterwards. :)
We've gotten into a great schedule finally, and he's slowly staying more awake during the day. He's eating every four hours, like clockwork, and will go 8-9 hours at night. :) I can't remember when Austin started scooting around, but Chase is pretty active. I put him down in his crib and in the morning he's at the opposite end! I guess with so much tummy time, he's working on those muscles alot more.
He's still a pretty mellow baby and only cries if he's hungry or needs a diaper change. And he loves to watch Austin, and vice versa. I just love watching the two of them together.
He's now snoozing hard in his bed while I update the blog. :) And six weeks from today, I return to work. Ugh, that does not bring a smile to my face. So much to think about as far as going back to work is concerned, but that's a post for another day. And maybe a password-protected, blog at that. ;)
