Chase is getting more "interactive" with his friends lately. A couple of weeks ago, when Grandpa T was visiting, our friend Rebekah stopped by with her daughter, Zel. Zel is a couple of weeks older than Chase, and has an older brother. She is mobile - crawling and pulling up on things, while Chase is still only going in circles and sometimes scooting backwards. He had enough momentum, though, to grab and "kiss" her, as seen in this video.
He gave Liam and Kiran (other baby-friends) much the same treatment when we saw them yesterday. It's so fun to see him interacting with other people; before he'd seemed pretty content to look at them and smile, but now he wants to touch.
Chase also finds weird things funny, like waving blankets and bouncing cloth blocks (again, see video). His favorite, though, are his dad's funny voices. James makes a stuffed giraffe "talk," uses different voices when he reads Chase stories, and sometimes just talks weird. This makes mama smile, too.

New Talents
It is the nature of babies that every day they discover something new, a talent or ability they lacked only the day before - the ability to grasp a small object, or communicate a need, or assert their will.
Chase has lately been playing with his voice. He's done this for a while, actually, and usually it's cute and entertaining. But lately it's become, um, MORE. OK, he's been shrieking. Loudly. Loudly enough to echo off the ceiling! He can get into some high ranges now, and he seems to delight in seeing how loud and how high he can go. It's only truly annoying when Mama and Dada haven't had their coffee yet.
At least he takes his fingers out of his mouth to do it.
He's also started making the quintessential baby gesture - raising his arms to be picked up. It is very cute. I like how it makes it really clear when he's done with something like playing on the floor or sitting in the high chair. Luckily, he never seems to be done with mama's arms or mama kisses.

Chase Plays Piano
Chase and Daddy had a lovely duet on the piano the other day. Mama captured it on camera.
