9 Months and Moving Up The Growth Charts...

Brant turned 9 months on November 14th and it just gets more fun everyday with this little guy. He is so awesome. :) He is growing like a weed and he is making us smile like crazy on a regular basis. :)

We went to his 9 month well check and his pediatrician was thrilled with him. She was still loving his growth and all that he was up to these days-developmental wise. :)
Here were his stats:
18 lbs 9 oz (about the 25th percentile)
27 1/4 inches (about the 25th percentile)
Just a reminder that he was not even ON the charts when he was born so ROCK ON BRANT!! :) What a stud. :)

Here are some fun things he is doing at 9 months:
1) If you smack your lips he will imitate you. He LOVES it and thinks it is so funny. We think it is pretty darn funny too. :)
2) Says Da Da really well...which makes Chris very happy. :) Still have not mastered Ma Ma or Bubba...so Braden and I are still waiting. HA! :)
3) This little man REALLY wants to crawl, and if he could just get his legs up under him then he would be off. He is pushing around everywhere..and he likes to go backwards too. :)
4) Brant is very into the world around him meaning he loves to just sit and watch everything. He takes it all in.
5) He babbles and squeals all the time. And he loves to be tickled and giggle. He can laugh with the best of them and it is my favorite sound!
6) Brant loves to stand. He will use your fingers to pull up, and then he will just stand there getting more and more excited. We have started propping up against various furniture in a standing position and he is getting some strong legs. :)
7) Brant is grubbing up on the food while cutting back on the formula. He can down two Stage 2 jars like it is nobody's business. HA! We are working on giving him Stage 3 food but sometimes it is still a little too chunky for his tastes. We have also been giving him Puffs and Cheerios which he is a big fan of. :)
8) We are still working on the sippy cup. He appears to like water...just not too much of it at one time. :)
9) He still loves playing in his exersaucer and jumperoo but he does seem to have quite a short attention span. HA!! After about 10-15 min he is ready to move onto the next activity. :)
10) He is still as lovable and smiley as always. Sweetest little baby I know. :)
