9 Month Update

9 months.... I know I keep saying this but really?! How did that happen!! I can't believe in a few short months my baby will be 1!

Brady had his 9 month checkup last week and here are his latest stats:
(I lost the paper again so need to call and fill this in - lol )








As a 9 month old Brady is a cruising machine and can stand on his own for up to 20 seconds at a time. He can take a few steps between Craig and I when we are sitting on the floor but can't quite get the walking yet. He is an active little guy and if we let him roam the house he goes straight for the stairs and can make it to the top all on his own!

As far as eating Brady is a fruit baby. Everytime we try to get some veggies in there he gags and spits them up - sounds strangely familiar to Daddy :) He loves Yo-Baby yogurt, honey nut cherrios and the Gerber cheese and Veggie sticks.

We have finally mastered sleeping through the night - thank the lord!! At his 9 month appointment I asked the Dr for advice because he was still getting up every night and we were still feeding him a bottle. She said we really needed to start putting him to bed awake so he falls alseep on his own and it would help him sleep through the night. That week Craig tried it while I was in Houston for work and Brady cried for about 15 minutes and then slept all night!! For the next few weeks Brady went from consistently crying for 15 minutes each night to only a couple minutes these days - yay!!!

Brady is such a sweet energetic baby and lights up the room with his smile and his little wave :)
