Happy Nine Month Birthday!

Braxtyn, you are getting so BIG!! Today the doctor said you were in the 25th percentile for weight, at 19.7 lbs and the 60th percentile for height at 29 inches.  You have six little teeth that help you chow down, especially on your food of choice, Taco Bueno beans!
Yes, you ate that entire bowl by yourself!
You love to feed yourself finger food too! Pretzels are your snack of choice, but you also love cheese, avocado, black olives, bread, pasta, and pretty much anything else we give you to try out.  
You are so proud that you can feed yourself!
Mommy and Daddy are certainly blessed that you are so happy most of the time.  We always comment that you are our "smiliest baby!" Most days, you are happy to play on the rug, babbling away.  While "Uh-Oh" was your first word, "Dada" was right behind it, and Braedyn is convinced you are saying "Buh-Buh" meaning brother.
Cheese!
Crawling is SO close! You can scoot all over the floor, and have mastered going backwards.  However, the whole one knee in front of the other is still a little tricky for you.
Ready to crawl!
It is amazing that you have only been with us for nine short months because we can't even remember life without your handsome little smile and sweet talking filling the house! We love you to the moon and back, Braxtyn Eric!
