9 months old!

Baylen turned 9 months old on Dec. 13th. I am a week behind but we've been busy. He is so funny and I remember I really enjoyed this age with Brynn and the same goes for Baylen. Although, I must say, that she slept MUCh better than he does at this age.

He has been working hard to try and stand for longer periods of time, but so far, can do about 10 seconds.

He enjoys his new "walking" toy we have borrowed from Cade.

He makes car noises "pbbbbbpppbbb" when driving/rolling cars on the floor.

He is enjoying reading books and actually listening to the story.

He is always in his sister's business. She is not a fan of this.

He loves handing us things..like his paci, a toy, or whatever it is he has in his hand.

He has been saying "uh oh" when he drops something or knocks some thing over. Now he says it ALL the time. It is so cute!
This brings his total word count to: mama, dada, and uh oh.

He really enjoys clapping, pat-a-cake, and singing

He also can sign "done" or "finished" and "milk" when he wants to.

He has been doing really well drinking out of a sippy cup. So far, he only drinks water out of the cup.

He still is not a fan of people food and often gags whenever we try and give it to him. He will eat puffs, cheetos puffs, cheerios (sometimes), and the biter biscuits. Otherwise, he's a baby food kinda guy.

He loves to dance! He'll stand up on a toy and bounce and bounce when he hears music.

He gets into EVERYTHING and cries when we take him away from an area or place he can't be. (like the TV, cat food/water, drawers, cupboards, etc.)

He was doing really well sleeping at night until he got sick...like there were a few nights he slept ALL night long, but now, we're back up to 2 times a night...usually once around 11-12 and then again around 4. Maybe when he's back up to speed, he'll sleep better.

His hair is finally growing and there is enough to make a small mohawk. It's sweet!

He can throw a ball! He loves rolling, throwing and playing catch with Brynn and with Daddy and I

He and his sister will just giggle and giggle with one another. It's so funny to watch.

Teeth: he has his 2 bottom teeth and his two eye teeth!! YES! isn't that funny that those were the next 2 teeth that came in? Those were BRUTAL for him. He has had those two teeth for at least 2 weeks now. The top two are pushing their way through next...one is almost through.

This month he's had a double ear infection and then another ear infection as of Friday, for a total of 2 rounds of meds.

He's officially off of his Acid Reflux medicine. whoohoo!

He wears sizes 6-9 months, 12 months, 18 months clothing. He has seemed to have slimmed down a bit the last couple weeks. I think it's because he hasn't been eating all that much due to not feeling well. He weighed 23.2 on Friday.

I'm having a hard time finding any shoes that will fit him. I tried to get him some snow boots on Wed. but I couldn't get his feet into them. So, that was a no go.

Okay now, on to the rest of the pics! It was easier to get him w/ the date this time b/c I laid him down and we distracted him from above. ha!
