9 month cutie-pattotie

I just want to squish and kiss that face all day!

Lets see....some random things about Chase at 9 months old....

---Still not a good sleeper, but once every few days he will sleep for 9 hours in a row (from about 7pm to 4 or 5am).  Not an awesome accomplishment for a 9 month old, but amazing for Chase!
---He LOVES food, and wants to eat allllll day.  He is happy when he eats, and has started eating things that I never gave Wesley until he was older, like larger chunks of food.  I am trying to figure things out that I can give him that he can eat on his own with out choking, that will satisfy his hunger, and that is healthy.  He will eat baby food, but it seems that he is more interested in what I am eating, and will cry and get all red, and will make his fists into a little ball until he can get some of my food! 
---Dinner time is not fun with this little guy.  Sine he gets tired really early, he is sooo fussy around dinner time.  He cries while I make dinner, and while I try to eat dinner.  I usually end up eating really fast so I can get done in time to feed him and put him to bed. 
---He has started giving me the silliest face when I pull out the camera.  He squints one eye, wrinkles his nose, and flashes a cheesy smile. He kind of looks like a pirate. It makes me laugh.
---He says "mama" and "Yay!"  and other babel words. 
--He just started getting his bottom two teeth in.  I will miss that huge gummy smile, but two bottom teeth are pretty darling too! 
---He wants to crawl sooooo bad.  He gets so frustrated when he just can't get his little body to move the way he wants.  However, even though he can't crawl, he still gets into everything.  While sitting, he can reach really far, and fling himself at what he wants.  He managed to get a hold of Wesley's cereal bowl when I was in the other room, and happily ate the entire thing.

---He is still a big mama's boy, and loves for me to hold him.  He is just the squishiest, cuddliest, most kissable little guy.  He is also an extremely fussy little one who teaches me patience every day!

What?  all this cereal I just ate wasn't for me??  You can't get mad at my cute little face! 

His cheesy camera smile

having fun at John's Incredible Pizza on Valentines Day.  He was wearing socks but managed to kick them off

More cheesy camera smiles...and dont ask me what Wesley is doing in the background

I know...its the face only a mother can love, but it still cracks me up!  Its funny how babies can learn at such a young age what a camera is for, and try to smile for it! 

He likes to be propped up on things so he can stand.  However, as you can see in the next picture, he still is a little wobbly...

he fell like this and didn't even flinch!  Ha ha! 

There is just something so cute about little necks, tushies, and legs rolls...
