9 and 10

So I never wrote a 9 month blog post about Braxton, so I am doing a 9&10 month post since he will be 10 months old on Tuesday. These are the numbers from his 9 month well visit:

Height: 29.25 in, 75%
Weight: 21 lbs 5 oz, 57%
Head circumference: 17 in, 41%

Sitting in the chair at the doctor's office. Lovely phone picture :)
This picture makes me laugh. Wearing Daddy's earmuffs.
Braxton loves our Christmas tree. Too bad he can't crawl to it...
What a goof!
Pulled himself up to his dresser. I love his stance here, especially the potbelly.
Sitting with his feet crossed. He does this quite frequently.
Obsessed with zippers, buttons, and sweatshirt strings. Here he is eating my zipper.
Helpful, as always :)
Pulled himself up in the laundry basket. Little stinker!
In his adorable Sunday suit!

Here are some new things Braxton has started doing lately:

Shrieking like a little girl (thankfully this is phase passed quickly!)
Pulling up and walking along furniture
Crying when Mommy leaves the room, even when Daddy is playing with him.
New foods this month: scrambled eggs, cheese, black beans, tomatoes
Saying mama all the time
New favorite song: Itsy Bitsy Spider

Practicing for Christmas...

Everyone knows that the best part of Christmas is the boxes, right? Well, at least it is to this guy...




Ahh, the look of pure joy. :)
Love those baby blues!

So long, farwell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye...

to Braxton's helmet. That's right, Little Man got his helmet off on Tuesday.
Sitting at Dr. Dave's waiting to get his measurements taken.
Yes, that is a nylon on his head. :)
Handsome Boy's first picture sans helmet.
"Mama, enough with the pictures!"

Braxton only had to wear his helmet for two months.
We are so glad to be done with his helmet and PT.
Grateful that B's head and neck are better!

This Mama

loves her black bean and green boogie-faced little boy.
Even when he is sick and messy, I still find him absolutely adorable!

A New Skill...

My little guy is rapidly becoming a big boy. His latest trick is pulling up on furniture, standing, and carefully side-stepping around the ottoman. Check him out!

Side-step along the couch. Steady... Ok, I've got my balance!
Ooh, look! A toy! I'll take that...
Oh shoot! I dropped it...
I'm stumped. How am I supposed to get it?!
