Brycen 9 months





















These pics of Brooklyn are some outfits my friend Jacqui made, aren't they so cute!



I can't believe Brycen will be 9 months tomorrow. He will be one before you know it. He is crawling all over the place, he was still crawling on his belly until a few days ago. He was so fast at it, but he is now up on his hands and knees. Brooklyn was up on her hands and knees at 9.5 months, so I wasn't worried that he wasn't crawling that way yet. He is doing well, eating 3 meals a day, and in between I nurse him. I have surpassed my expectations on nursing... I was shooting for 6 months. One of the reasons being that he still wakes up between 3 and 4, and that is the easiest. We are trying to get him to sleep the whole night through, but are inconsistent. He goes down by about 6:30 and will sleep till about 3:30, eat and go back down till 6-6:30. He takes about a 45 min nap about 2 hours after he wakes up, and a 1.5 hour nap aroun 1pm. He has 2 teeth that just came through and another 2 that aare just about there. Cutting teeth at a time is no fun. He was fussy the first few days his gums were swollen, and he has been much better the last week or so. I wish they would all just come through. He is constantly pulling up on the furniture, and cruising around the room, he wants to walk so bad. He says mama all of the time, claps his hands, high fives and plays peek a boo. He loves playing with Brooklyn, he just watches and follows her all over. She is a good big sister and loves playing with him.


Brycens 9 month stats

Height: 28.75 inches : 69% Brooklyn was 29 inches at 9 months

Weight: 18lbs 13 oz: 23% Brooklyn was 18 lbs 9 oz

Head: 45.75: 73%

There are pretty similar in size even though Brycen was born 2 lbs heavier.

Brooklyn is doing well. She still LOVES preschool, she wants to go everyday. We are working on her writing, she loves tracing letters, and she can almost write her name... just needs to work on the k and y. I love working with her at home and seeing what she learns. It makes me want to teach elementary school, maybe I will transfer when she is in Kindergarten so I can work at her school.
