Taylor loves for me to chase him and the way he gets my attention is to put something in his mouth, always something he knows he's not supposed to have like a shoe or toothebrush or the bar of soap. He knows that I'll try and take whatever it is that he's got so it leads to chasing. Oddly enough he never destroys anything that's in his mouth. However I've started ignoring him b/c chasing after shoes all the time is annoying. But I make sure we play chase other times. I think you hit the nail on the head, he wants you to try and take what he has in his mouth, which leads to you chasing him. Have fun.
