NINE

Tuesday was Brody's real 9 month birthday! Unfortunately, I didn’t get to spend much time with him that day because of parent/teacher conferences. L  So, his daddy was in charge of taking his monthly photo and spoiling him for the day.

His nine month check- up was Thursday,  and his daddy also got to take him to that appointment because I had to be at school. L

·         Here are his stats: Wt. 22 lbs (80%), Ht. 29 ½ (90%)

[I feel like I haven’t done the best job lately describing bub’s milestones, schedule, etc. so here goes…]

My little Brody-boo has three top teeth, two bottom teeth, and more pushing through on the sides. A lot of drool going on.

His teachers and the sweet ladies in the nursery at church just squeal when he arrives, and they tell us they want to take him home. Of course, we don’t let them. J

He is all over the place. Crawling. 

He is feeding himself with finger foods.

He is waving bye-bye, but only on occasion.  Same with clapping.

He is pulling up on furniture.  Lately, when I get him in the mornings, he has one knee bended and he’s standing on one foot playing with the top of his mobile.

He will NOT take a sippy cup.  We’re still working on it. (All suggestions are welcomed!)

He loves to share.  He will take a toy and hug it or put it in his mouth, and then he will hold it out for you and wait for you to hug it or put it in your mouth- then he wants it back.

He loves to play hide and seek.

He is still a little cuddle bug.  I LOVE IT!

We have started saying "no"...due to pulling hair.

The last couple months he has been going through separation anxiety.  Not bad.  If I leave his sight he gets upset. Usually he doesn’t get upset if someone else is there to distract him. 

Not all the time though.

He is talking all the time. I’m proud to say he finally says “mama.”  He is starting to combine a lot of different consonant syllables, and I tell Justin all the time that I think he just said “dada, get baba,” or “mama wa bababa.”  Who knows.  It’s probably wishful thinking. J
