June 22, 2011

(This post is a little late this month b/c you were on your first vacation on your nine month birthday!)

Brody bear you are nine months old...

Where has the time gone? I feel like I was just writing last months post. These days are flying by and I just wish I could freeze time!!!

What have you been up to this month?

* I just love you more and more every day!!!

* You are the sweetest little guy ever!!

* You crawl every where now, the right way and you are FAST!!

* You stand up at the coffee table and walk around it...very fast! You are so brave you can go to the coffee table to the couch to the table. I know you will be walking very soon! =(

* You say dada, bye bye and boo (Bruiser??) all the time! You did say MAMA once!!! =) But, you started saying it often on your nine month birthday!!

* You are very interested in all of our food! You get very upset if you can't have a bite of our food. You will start yelling and whining! It is sooo funny! But, you always get a taste of our food and you LOVE it!

* You eat 4 5 oz. bottles a day...we cut one out b/c I think you were getting to full with all of the food you were eating.

* You eat a baby food fruit in the morning and a veggie for dinner. You also eat a lot of snacks in between. You have had: bananas (small pieces), cheese ( small pieces and shredded cheese), Popsicles, ice cream, avocado ( you do not like this), spaghetti ( you loved it), strawberries, pieces of toast, graham crackers, cheerios, yogurt, yogurt melts, puffs, gold fish ( little pieces). Basically you get little pieces of most snacks Avery is eating or what we are eating. You have loved everything.

* You weigh 21 lbs. 14 oz. You are 29 inches. You are in the 75% on both!

* You still wear a size four diaper.

* You wear size 12 month clothes.

* You can NOT wear shoes at all b/c your feet are to chubby. I haven't found a shoe yet that will go on your foot and I have tried a bunch of shoes!

* You have had your hair cut 5 times now...You need it cut every 2 weeks....you HATE getting your hair cut and cry from the second it starts until we leave! =( I even gave you a sucker this time to see if it would help..not so much...but, you loved the sucker!!!

* You had your first sucker!

* You are a real mommy's boy and I LOVE it!!!!

* You are on a good schedule now. It took us many months but we are finally there.

* You eat your last bottle around 8 and go to sleep right after that...IN YOUR OWN BED!!!

* You still have not slept through the night yet in your bed. You wake up anywhere from 11-3 and there is no putting you back down in your bed. You sleep the rest of the night in bed with us.

* You are such a cuddler. You love sleeping right up against me either that or with your head on my chest. You always rub my arm or play with my hair until you fall asleep! I LOVE it!!

* You take a nap in the morning and afternoon for about an hour and a half each time.

* You are very curious and move fast around the house exploring new things! You especially like to crawl as fast as you can to Bruiser's dog food!

* You got your first tooth on your nine month birthday! We woke up that morning and there it was! It is on the bottom left and it is so cute and perfect!

* You went on your first vacation to the beach! You were such a good boy. You did perfect in the car there and back!

* You went to the beach played in the sand and swam in the ocean for the first time! And, stayed in your first hotel!

You are just such a joy sweet boy! You are always smiling and happy! We are so blessed to have you in our lives! I am so thankful for you and love you more than you will ever know!! Happy nine months sweet boy!!
