9 Month Update


So I am a bit behind here, but Brayden turned 9 months old on July 20! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Seems like he should still be a tiny little baby in my arms. Instead, he is wiggling, crawling, pulling up machine now!!

Brayden went last Monday for his 9 month check up. He weighed in at 16 pounds 11 ounces (still only in the 5%), but was 27 1/2" long! Brayden wasn't so sure of the Dr. this time either. He had not had much of a nap Monday morning & then was hungry on top of that. These two things plus the start of stranger anxiety made for a difficult appointment. Overall though, Brayden did well & is a healthy little boy.

Brayden has now tried lots of new foods including: avocado, pancakes, beef stew, fresh banana, mango, o-o's (cheerios), yogurt, yogurt melts, chicken, strawberries, fruit cup, animal crackers, watermelon, grapes, and cheese. He seems to eat just about anything so far which is great since I do not like fruit!

Late last week, Brayden started pulling up on things...the table, us, the couch, basically anything that gave him any support at all. He is SO proud of himself once he gets up! It is adorable!! Just this weekend, he started taking a few steps to the side while holding on to the table. I really think he is going to be walking in just a few weeks...way before I am ready :)
