Braden, you are already nine months old!! I'm still trying to figure out a way to slow time down, but obviously that's not going to happen! Here we are, 3/4 of the way through your first year, and I am in disbelieve that you will be one in just a few short months.
At nine months, you:
Still love food and haven’t really met anything you don’t like. Recent favorites are broccoli, cheerios and yogurt. And of course you love anything Grandma Chapa feeds you, including caldo (your sister’s fave). You’ve mastered the pincer grip and love to pick up fistfuls of food!
You have also mastered the sippy cup, taking to it within a few attempts. You love to drink cold water!
Chase any kind of ball you can find around the house, no matter where it leads you!
Put everything in your mouth!!
Are on the move…and getting into everything!! You started crawling just a few days into your ninth month, and you haven’t slowed since.
Can get yourself into a standing position and love to bounce on your chubby little legs. This is how I find you most mornings (and after naps).
Love to get whatever your sister is playing with – here she was playing Children’s Lighthouse (her school) and you were delighted to be able to disrupt her eating arrangement!
LOVE all forms of water!! Mommy was a nervous wreck as you were peddling yourself around Granny’s little pool and splashing the water in your face…you were loving every minute of it!
Pull yourself up onto anything to get whatever you can get your hands on!
Are becoming quite vocal! You love to babble and we often find ourselves mimicking your every sound. We’ve heard da-da and ma-ma, and although I’m not convinced it was used in context, it was still music to my ears!
(random canned goods on the floor = snacks for Riley’s “class”!)
Have three new teeth, all within a week! The newest teeth are all on top, giving you a total of three top and two bottom. We’re so glad that you finally have some relief after months of waiting!
Are still a mama's boy, which I completely love!! You give the best snuggles and open-mouth kisses and bury your face into my chest whenever you get excited. "Jesus Loves Me" is an instant soother for you, always calming you down in any situation.
9 month stats:
Weight – 21 pounds, 6 ounces – 60%
Length – 27.5 inches – 25%
Head – 17.6 inches – 25%
You are currently wearing size 3 diapers and 18 month clothes...such a big boy!!
Braden, we are so smitten with you and love the joy that you've brought to our family! We're so excited to see what these next few months bring and look forward to celebrating your first year of life soon.
