9 Months Old!

Brycen Boy, you are 9 months old now! And I can't believe it. In less than 3 months we will be celebrating your 1st birthday!

You are weighing 20 pounds now. You are wearing mostly 12 month clothes, some 6-12 and some 12-18. You are in a size 3 shoe. You are in a size 3 diaper.

You are more boy than I know what to do with! You are such a good baby, but boy do you get mad if you are hungry! You eat 4 or 5, 7-8ounce bottles. We switched you to the Enfamil AR formula and it has helped your spitting-up SO much! It's very rare for you to spit up these days! You also eat 2-4 jars of baby food a day. You have also been eating some smashed up bananas, puffs, biter biscuits, and anything else you can get your hands on! The other day I caught you with one of your brother's oreos! You were so mad when I took it away from you. Makes me laugh. :)

You are standing by yourself, but only like to when you do it yourself. If I try to make you stand, you just go limp. I know that you are going to be a strong-willed child. You also love to crawl behind the couch and hide. (Your brother showed you this trick!) You think it's a game, because you will crawl so fast going around and around the couch. Can't help but laugh. Anytime we try to catch you, you just turn the other way and try to get away from us. Sneaky, sneaky.

I can also already see the sibling rivalry between you and your brother. If he takes your toy, you scream bloody murder and then go after him to get it back. You like to take his stuff too, though. The other day Thompson was eating something and you went and just grabbed the spoon from him. Poor big brother. ;)

Brycen, we are so proud of the little boy you are turning to be. We are seeing your personality more and more each day! Love you, Brycen Boy!
