Brody @ 9 months

Actually, he is almost 10 months...where has the time gone?
This kiddo is cruising ALL over the place...still crawling, but is TURBO crawler. He is into EVERYTHING, but mainly the things he is not supposed to be in. He will play with toys a little here and a little there, but give this boy a phone, remote control, computer, vacuum hose, or paper and he is SET. Typical boy? To be in all the things he should not be in?
Even still, he is the sweetest little soul, the best snuggler, and all time smiler!

We went to his 9 month check-up a couple of weeks ago and I was surprised to find out that he really hadn't gained much wait since his 6 month check-up...not even 3 whole pounds! He is still in the 50th percentile for weight and height and 75th percentile for head. The doctor said it is absolutely normal for the slight weight gain considering how active he is. He didn't need any shots this time...YES!

I just can't believe the next time we take him in for a check-up that it will be his 12 month (1 YEAR's OLD) check-up...what the heck?!

These are the latest and greatest tricks and facts about the Brodester:

*he does this thing with his mouth and fingers making a "buh, buh, buh" sound...is there a name for this?
*says mama
*says dada (but not near as frequent as mama)
*crawls up the stairs (uh oh!)
*has 6 teeth (4 top, 2 bottom)
*bites anything and everything (and boy does it hurt!)
*claps
*dances
*stands for longer periods of time...getting really close to take off on his feet!
*sleeps pretty well in his crib (if you don't know, this is huge for any child in our household)
*loves his taggie blankets

Thank you for the Seahawk cupcake, Mandy & Jeremy!

first time to pass out in his high chair
