Talking: A ton. I can't even list all the words he knows because he says new ones every day. Yesterday it was "Paisley," V and Josh's dog. Seriously. Chase jabbers in the morning when he gets up, mostly about Abu (Mueller), and he sings. He can communicate almost everything he wants, although many things are still "that." When Chase wants something, he's started pointing at it and saying "Chasie....Chasie...Chasie." Chase has started forming 2-word phrases like "Daddy's shoes" or "fall down" and even uses 3 or 4-word sentences like "Abu get the ball." It's amazing. He's communicating phrases too with phrases like "upside down" when he turned his duck upside down in the tub. Last weekend, our neighbor's dog was trying to get out under their fence and Chase said "help Abu (dog)" indicating that he understood that the dog needed help. We still remind him to say please, and knows that it is the "magic word." He's also begun saying "thank you," although his thank you sounds like something about daddy.
Loves Swiffering: He loves it so much that he throws food on the kitchen floor so he has to Swiffer it up. Sweet.
Playing with trains: Grammy and Grampy brought down Stephen's old train set in October. The Brio trains are in perfect condition and Chase LOVES them. We've set up a track on our coffee table. One morning he woke up and asked Stephen right away about "choo-choo?" Maybe he had a dream about them? Chase went right down to the table and started playing with them.
Doing pretend play: This morning we gave his teddy bear a bath in the baby tub. He sort of threw the bear into the tub, but he used a washcloth to pat his head.
Loving his trains!
Getting good with fork and spoon
Still recovering from Daylight Savings. Whoever came up with the concept clearly did not have young children. That's all I'm going to say.
Expressive. Chase is so expressive and makes the most hilarious pouty faces.
Chase is still fearless and still a pretty good snuggler. We love you, sweet boy!
