**GULP** 9 months old

I know, I know I say it every month but really 9 months?!?!  NO WAY! As I sit here thinking about all of his milestones I literally have a tear in my eye.  He is growing and developing so fast and although I love it all, it makes me so emotional.  This little boy grew inside of me for over nine months and I look at him now and think how in the world was that ever possible, ha!  (I know, you don't have to say it, I am a very emotional momma, haha!)  Anyways....baby boy is nine months old.  He seriously is so fun!

• He crawls wherever he wants to as long as it is not far from me or his daddy.  He is very attached to us and a lot of times would rather be held than to be down on the floor.  He is not a baby that likes to crawl off really fast and get away from us, he would rather be right by our side.  
• He smiles and laughs a lot, especially since his momma and daddy are two goofy people.  
• He is on all table foods.  For some reason this whole process makes me smile.  We love eating dinner all together and actually getting to eat at the same time!  He eats A LOT!  I know they say that babies will stop eating when they are full but I truly think he is a bottomless pit. 
• He takes 3 bottles a day. 
• Size 4 diapers.  
• He weighs almost 22 lbs according to the nurse yesterday (we took him to get his ears checked).  
• He loves when other kids are around.  
• He says dada (first word) but has only uttered mama very few times.  
• He still has 8 teeth but I am fairly certain his first molar has almost broken through.  I am going to get the doctor to look Thursday when I take him for his 9 month appt.  
• He still loves drinking water.  Weird, I know, but this boy would drink water all day long if we let him.  
• He loves bubble baths. 
• He can pull up and does more and more everyday, but there are still some things that he can not manage to pull up on.  
• He has been sleeping all night again, woo hoo! 
• He can wave but it usually just ends up being his hand sticking up in the air.
• He wakes up every morning in the best mood.  Always Smiling! 

Oh me oh my.... we have picked the date for his first birthday and have the theme picked out.  I guess I will be getting to work on details soon.

Brax, you are such a blessing to your daddy and me.  You are the sweetest little boy and you bring us so much joy.  We love you to the moon and back.
