Chase is 9 months!

I realize that I haven't updated anyone in a while on what Chase is doing these days. I kinda forget how much he is actually doing until I look through the videos I took on the camera.

• He kneels and just enjoys sitting on his knees.
• He loves pulling up on things and climbing up me!
• He will take about 4-5 steps crawling and then drops to his tummy to do the army crawl.
• He is very entertained by his car and has grown less apprehensive of his ball popper.
• He is waving and babbling hi (He actually waved to the TV during the inaugural address at the end when the crowd waved. I'll try and upload a video later.)
  
• He recognizes Grammy B and Papi (even with his beard), Aunty Nu-Nu and Uncle Bry
• He stills sucks his thumb like a champ!
  
• His hair has gotten curly/shaggy in the back. It's so cute! (I think he's trying to be like Jim on The Office.. you know business in the front and party in the back... or wait, is that a mullet? )
  
• He LOVES being tossed into the air by his daddy.
• He does this funny thing where he throws his arms out and screams and then looks at his hands in wonder as if it's the first time he's ever seen them. We think he might be composing ballads to the cute Latinas in all of his babybooks. hehe (He developed this skill while Brian was saying grace at dinner and Chase proceeded to do it more when Johnny and Chris France burst into laughter)
• He loves playing with Zoe and knows her by name. He likes to go to the doggy gate and pull himself to standing to visit Zoe. (Yes he may walk b/f he crawls.) Zoe is quite enterntained by Chase too. I'll try and upload a video of their interactions.
  
• He has graduated to a big boy bath (no baby tub) and a big boy carseat.
• He gets in pushup position a lot with his knees locked and bum straight up in the air.
  
• He makes lots of noise even though he fools everyone by acting quiet in public.
• He is still eating pureed baby-food but isn't too keen on anything thicker than that! He's definitely a drama king when it comes to eating something he doesn't like! Wonder where he gets his picky eating habits from? :)
• His hair is still light brown... not real sure how you get golden brown out of two dark-brown/black-haired parents with siblings and parents who all have dark hair.... I guess it could still turn darker.
• He's still an amazing sleeper and I thank God for that!
• He likes to pull his VeggieTales into his crib and have conversations with them.
• He laughs at certains words on some days and then other words the next day. He's a sweet kid and I cherish our moments together.
