Below deck fans were then in for an adorable surprise Kate Chastain shared a video of son Sullivan’s first Christmas celebration.
In an Instagram video uploaded on Sunday, December 24, Chastain, 40, gushed about her seven-month-old child, who was rocking pants that resembled a Christmas tree.
‘Look at those nice pants. Let me see those cute pants,โ the reality star said as her son made cute baby noises at the camera.
This is the first year Chastain has enjoyed the festivities with her son. Chastain became a mother when she welcomed Sullivan in May. The former Below deck star announced she was expecting a baby five months early, writing via Instagram: “I’m already planning so many birthday parties for you ๐๐๐๐.”
Chastain, who has not publicly identified the father of her child, previously opened up about her plans to become a parent herself during an episode of Watch what happens live with Andy Cohen in January. โI do it alone and maybe with some help, but I like to do it alone,โ she said of her motherhood journey.
After her son’s arrival, Chastain praised the important milestones he had already achieved.
โSullivan is three months now so I think I’m finally finding my feet and I’m really enjoying it. I love it so much, but I’m constantly shocked by how much work it is. And that comes from me, who was already known Below deck because I work a lot. It’s a lot of work that I love so much,โ she said exclusively We weekly in August. โPostpartum was not a problem [for me] just because I was so distracted by having this baby. I’m very lucky that way and I’m just absolutely obsessed with him.
Chastain candidly discussed how she formed a bond with Sullivan in his first few months, adding, “It’s nice when you put in all this work to get a little bit of reciprocity.” [such as] a little smile or a little giggle. That’s just fun. They change so quickly at this age that he does something new every day, and that’s how they get you.โ
She concluded: โThere is so much work, but every day there is a new surprise. So it just keeps you in love with them, which is very smart on their part.
Sullivan has already followed in his mother’s footsteps by making his Bravo debut in October. Chastain gave a glimpse of her growing boy as she brought him out during the season finale of Couch talk with Captain Lee and Kate.
โGuess what? Our very exciting guest is ready,โ Chastain shared Captain Lee Rosbach while referring to Sullivan, who was wearing a sailor suit. “He dressed up especially for you.”
