11 Months Old

Since Chase is 11 months old today, we thought it would be neat to list 11 things that Chase loves and 11 things that we love about Chase.

11 Things that Chase Loves:

1. Smiling
2. Taking baths, especially if Reed is in the tub with him
3. Opening the back door (it's his newest trick!)
4. Climbing (this includes the stairs, chairs, boxes, etc.)
5. Anything that belongs to Reed, especially his sippy cup
6. Pulling hair (including his own...he puts his hands in his hair when he eats.)
7. Opening & closing doors/drawers
8. Talking in his own language (except anything close to Momma)
9. Falling (right now, he has four bruises on his face)
10. His Zebra car and Momma's phone
11. Textures (he loves to feel everything, but he's also funny about certain food textures. He's the only baby I know that hates Puffs!)

11 Things We Love about Chase:

1. His adorable smile
2. His fun-loving personality
3. Watching him discover new things
4. Hearing his contagious laugh
5. Watching him dance
6. His sweet, WET kisses
7. His overwhelming curiosity
8. Watching him walk to us with such excitement
9. All of his (many) facial expressions, especially when he tries a new food
10. His reaction when he finally gets Reed's sippy cup (it's priceless!)
11. Watching him interact with Reed

Eating a delicious supper

What happens when Daddy dresses Chase.

Calling all the single ladies
His preppy look...
Watching Daddy light his candles.
Amazed by the flame.
Trying our best to get him to look at the camera.

Finally, one quick glance...
Okay...maybe one more glance...
Blowing out the candles.
Smiling because he knows what's next...

Waiting patiently...
Time to dig in!
Feeling everything first.
Taste test...
He approves!
Telling Daddy how good it is!
One of those facial expressions that we love!
Time to get cleaned up!
Told you he loved baths!

Doing two things that he loves: climbing on top of the toy chest, so he could get Mommy's phone.
He sees it...
Got it!
Life is good!

SAVE THE DATE!

CHASE'S 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY IS GOING TO BE SUNDAY, JANUARY 30TH AT 1:30 PM!

That sweet little bruised face reminds me of his mama's face when she was learning to walk! Love my big boy Chase!!! Lala

That frown when he get a taste of the strawberry. Wish I could have helped him eat all up it. That looks good. Pictures are great.

His smile lights up the room :). I love the pictures of him in the bath tub.

You have one adorable 11 month old.... he has grown way too fast.
