Chase is 9 months old!

Chase is growing and changing so fast but he is still my little baby. He has really turned into a Mama's boy these days which has been very fun for me! He loves to snuggle but is still a little wiggle worm and loves to be on the go.
Sleep: Sleeps through the night, goes down between 7 and 8 and sleeps until 7:30 or 8 in the morning. He will take one nap from around 11-1 and sometimes sneaks in a cat nap in the afternoon.
Likes: Being held, opening and closing doors, eating, jumping, scooting/rolling/crawling, peek-a-boo, patty cake, the pacifier, Colby (he is obsessed with Colby!), lifting the air vents up from the floor, putting anything that he can get ahold of in his mouth, balls, leapfrog toys
Dislikes: He's really easy going, not much bothers him...except when he's tired and wants to be held and there is any delay in picking him up, than we will hear about it!
Food: Still nursing, loves drinking water, will eat any food pureed or not. He's pretty good with table foods but stuffs them all in his mouth as quick as possible (it looks like a feeding frenzy!) so I have to be careful about rationing what I put in front of him. He loves veggie burgers and fruit but he will seriously eat anything we put in front of him.
Motor Skills: He is still doing the "low crawl" aka: Army crawl but boy is he fast, especially on the hardwood floor. He doesn't quite have the pincer grasp down yet but his hand eye coordination is really impressive. He can sit up for long periods of time and doesn't fall over anymore. He now reaches up to be held if I'm near him, now that he does that I am OFFICIALLY wrapped around his finger. He crawled up into my lap the other day, it's a little awkward but he can do it!
Speech: No words yet but this kid is ALWAYS making noise! He 'talks' all the time. He does wave and will lift his arms up when we say "so big!"
Teeth: He has four on top and three on bottom
Chase's personality is really starting to emerge. I think it's safe to say that he has more of my personality, he is very talkative and outgoing. He is such an easy baby to take care of. We are so blessed!
