Nine Months

Bryson you are 9 months old today!!!

What have you been up too...

you weigh 21lbs on the dot (50th percentile for your weight)

you are 28 inches long (50th percentile for your height)...daddy was SO glad to hear this :)

we are using up your last pack of size 3 diapers

you are in size 6-9 month shirts, 9 & 12 month pants and shorts, and 12 month pajama's

you are eating 3 solid meals a day with formula in between. you love sweet potatoes, carrots, peaches, Hawaiian Delight (mommy loves that one to...ha!), banana's.

you've had some table foods: butter beans, green beans, potato soup from O'Charley's, and banana pudding. you've even had a taste of rock candy...thanks to your cousins Kelsey, Destiny, and Madison. And Aunt Erica let you taste some of her Coca-Cola Icee. What am I going to do with all these girls???

you have a squirty toy turtle that you LOVE to play with in the bathtub. Every time we give it to you, you automatically turn it upside down and put the turtle's head in you mouth. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

we found out today that you've grown out of your car seat and it's time for you to move into your booster seat. you are growing up so fast! it seems like just yesterday we were bringing you home and the car seat looked like it would swallow you hole! time it flying by!!!

you have one of the best personalities I know of for a little boy! you never meet a stranger...just like your daddy. i really think you are going to be a people person and I'm so excited! you are the life of the party and you always know how to make us smile :)

you nap 2 times a day, sometimes only once. they last about 30 minutes to 1.5 hours

you are still sleeping so good through the night. I have really been blessed that you have been such a good sleeper since you were 8 weeks. you have really spoiled me!

you talk constantly! you always have something to say...I wonder if you'll be like your Uncle Tommy and get into trouble on the first day of kindergarten because you talked to much? ha! you are getting better at saying mama-mama and dada-dada!!! and i love hearing you giggle

you just got your first bottom tooth last week.

you are obsessed with VeggieTales! your favorite one is The Big River Rescue. you watch it every morning after breakfast. i believe your daddy can quote every word and it makes you giggle every time. ha!

you hate socks and shoes. i spend more time trying to put them on and then you have them off in no time. i guess you are going to be one of those babies that won't wear any shoes and walk around barefoot all the time. good thing summer is around the corner.

you don't care to much about crawling. i'm not sure if you ever will and that's okay!!! i noticed the other day that you were trying to pull up in your crib. you'll be walking before i know it :)

I can't believe how much you've changed over the last nine months! you don't even look like the same little boy. you are growing up SO fast. how in the world can i make it slow down? i can't tell you enough how much joy you bring to my life!!!
