9 Months

9 Months

 So many sweet things to say about my little man who just turned 9 months old today! He's such a little man these days. I can't get over how much of a little boy he's turning into and the baby is quickly disappearing. We are very close to the day where Brayden takes off and crawls. It would not surprise me if he decides to crawl 1) when daddy walks through the door tomorrow or 2) when we're down in North Carolina next week as he tries to chase after Annie. Rolling across the floor might now feel as great on the hardwood floor. :) In these last few weeks my baby is a strong sitter. He is loving to sit up and play with the toys around him. The next new thing my sweet boy is doing- is reaching which puts him into the crawl position. He will reach and get unto all fours where he rocks and reaches and then, rolls to the desired object. It is really something!! I get so excited with him every time he does it!! 

Brayden has also found his LOUD voice. I bet if he was our first born he would be a lot quieter- but since he has a loud sister, he mimics all her crazy loud tones. It's adorable! When daddy walks in the door, he screeches and screams until daddy comes over and picks him up! Adorable. He's witnessed his sisters squeals and desires to greet daddy as he walks in the door- and he's joined in the excitement. Also- with his cute little voice- he's learned how say mama and dada. And also loves to say gaga. He also says "baba" for bottle and "ba" for ball. I hate to admit- that though Brayden looked at me a few times and said "mama" for my attention- he loves to say "dada" and although I'm a little jealous :) - I LOVE hearing him eager to get his daddy's attention. 

Brayden also started eating solid foods- as in- Cheerios. Sometimes his face is priceless as the Cheerio touches his mouth. :) I just can't believe how much he's grown in these last few weeks. I just love him to pieces.
