I'm 9 Months Old!!!!!

January 1

It's a new year and I'm 9 months old now!!!! I'm growing, getting into everything I possibly can and I am developing my own personality.  We spent the day just resting around the house and playing.  My mom and dad were off since it was New Year's Day.  I think we all spent New Year's Eve catching up on some sleep.  I did have to go to the doctor for my 9 month check-up and they had to prick my finger which was not fun at all because the nurse had to keep squeezing my finger to get enough blood out.  On the good side though no shots this time. The doctor was impressed with my development and my Toms.  He even took a picture of them to show his daughters and he called the nurses in to show them.

Here are some things that I can do now:
* I'm walking along the side of the couch and the end tables.
* I'm still wearing size 3 diapers.
* I'm wearing size 12 months in pants for the length but they are little big around the waist.
* I"m wearing size 9-12 months in shirts and onesies.
* Still wearing size 3 in shoes.
* I'm starting to feed myself when I have dinner and mom makes me carrots, sweet potatoes, chicken, or lima beans.
* I'm trying more foods and like just about everything I try but my favorite is still ice cream and fruit.
* I say bye-bye, mama, and dada now.
* I start waving when someone says bye-bye to me.
* I weigh 18 lbs 7 oz and I'm in the 44th percentile for my age.
* My length is 28.5 inches and I'm in the 82nd percentile for my age.
* My head circumference is 17.2 inches and I'm in the 42nd percentile for my age.

I snuck into my diaper bag to get my snacks and I shared with Ella.

I found where mom and dad keep the cereal.

I found a pen and marked on my face.

I found Ella's food bowl and dumped it all out.

I found the towels and pulled them all off the shelves.

I started blowing on daddy's back and made him laugh.

Then I got my foot stuck between the mattress and the bed frame.

I'm figuring out how to get my foot out.

I don't lay still for my mom to take the picture anymore.

Smiling for the camera with my heartbeat bear.

Christmas Continued

December 26

On my daddy's side of the family we don't do Christmas on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day since mawmaw is usually working so we get together when she's in town.  This year it happened to be the day after Christmas.  We all get to eat a big meal with turkey, baked ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, rolls, and dessert.  Then we get to open presents and the grandkids get to go first!!!!! So this year Brayden and I go to tear into our stuff and we got alot of the same things but we didn't realize it because we didn't open the same things at the same time.  Our parents even let us start playing with our toys while they opened their gifts.  It was a late night but it was soooo much fun.


Brayden and me are showing off our Christmas onesies.

I can stand up with help from my mom!!!

I'm ready to eat!!!

Pawpaw is getting ready to take pictures.

The tree and some of the presents.

Everyone's stockings are hung.

I'm trying to wait patiently for my food.

I'm about to eat!!!

Posing for a picture.

Me with my mom and dad!!!!!!

Mawmaw and pawpaw with all their grandkids.

I'm holding my stocking.

I have to closely inspect the bell on my stocking.

Let me see what's in here.

I didn't want you to take that away from me, it was mine!!!!!

Oh, that's what I wanted!

I can't decide which one to play with first.

I'm gonna need some to drink here.

I need my glow seahorse too.

This thing is cool!

Look Brayden, the balls come out here.

I really like the way it feel when the air comes out and hits me in the face.
