Chase at 10 and 11 months old!

At 10 months he was attempting to walk a little more. He LOVES balls and I believe the Major Leagues are already calling....the kid can throw!!! With both arms! He lOVES to play catch and if you don't throw it back right away he does the throwing motion with his arms trying to tell you that you need to throw the ball back. He loves to tackle and has traumatized about every baby/non nursery age child at church.

He blows us away with how smart he is. You only have to show him something a few times and he has it down. Turns out at 11 months old, he loves the beach. We took him to Balboa for a little photo shoot for his bday invitations, gave him his own little bucket and shovel and he was IN heaven! He kept wanting to go into the water even though it was freezing!

Now at 11 1/2 months old he is a full walker. He blows kisses. Can dribble a soccer ball. Play the piano (baby style), dance and sing. He loves story time before bed. He has enjoyed trying milk this week, and goes crazy when I pour the kids some....he wants some too.

He has 1 little tooth now on the bottom.

He is eating lots of big people food and is FINALLY sleeping through the night! I had to just close my ears and let him cry it out and it only took 2 nights...silly me, I should have done it sooner but he is MY baby and I had such a hard time letting him cry. I can't even express how much joy this little man brings into our family. Each child does and each child has their own special and unique qualities that make a family complete. I think because he has 3 older siblings that ADORE him it makes his presence in our family so much stronger and so much more fun. The kids are having fun teaching him new words like Tay Tay and poop (agh! I'm not happy with that one but they think its so funny)

In 2 weeks we will be celebrating his 1st birthday. It has been such a fast and fun year. I can't believe he is already so big. (sigh)
