Baby Brody : Month 9

Age: 9 Months as of March 27th

Weight:  22 lbs  

Clothes:  12 and 18 month clothes; size 3 diapers

Sleep:  The beginning of the month started out very bad as you had your first sickness which we will get into later.  Otherwise, daylight savings time happened this month and it turned out to be a good thing for us.  We moved your bedtime back until as close to 7pm as we can keep you up and then you are sleeping/playing in the crib until 7:15am.  We appreciate that extra hour in the mornings.  

The first week of March was probably our toughest week to date.  You woke up so sick and congested on Monday night that you couldn't sleep at all.  We spent the whole week sick together with the help of your Grammy.  I hope to not have to go through that again for a long time.  

Eat:  For most of the month, you really weren't that good of a food eater.  You love your bottles, but you didn't eat a ton of baby food.   Thankfully, that has changed the last week and you chow down your baby food.  We stick to the Plum Organic pouches now and you love them.  You still love the vegetables a lot more than the fruits and whoever came up with the "World Baby" flavors is an absolute genius. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the amount of Mexican I consumed when I was pregnant for you.  

Likes:  

You love pushing your radio flyer cart (this thing is the best for helping them walk because its sturdy and won't slip out from under them like some of the Fischer-Price walkers do. 

Music Class

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (specifically when Mickey walks out in the beginning and when they sing the Hot Dog song at the end)

Standing up without holding on to anything.

You love doing a new trick you learned where you blow out and vibrate your lips together

Visitors:

We had lots of work friends in town for Mardi Gras this year that got to visit with you

Our wedding photographer also came to town and got to snap these adorable photos of you at the house!

I absolutely can't wait to see what the next few months have in store for us.  You are so fun right now and I know it only gets better, but I just love that you're still a baby yet your little personality is really shining through.
