Brady: Nine Months!

Happy Nine Months, Brady-boy!!

 

I have no idea how it's possible, but in just three short month's we'll be celebrating Brady's first birthday!! Craziness! At 9 months old, this guy is all over the place & getting into anything and everything! He still does his "wounded bear crawl" as we call it and pulls up all.the.time. Much to my dismay, he's becoming a pro at opening at cabinets & drawers. His gums have been swollen on the bottom of his mouth for the past couple of weeks, and just this weekend we saw his first little tooth pop through! Brady is still exclusively nursing & doing great with baby-led weaning. His favorite foods are strawberries & blackberries. He's taking two naps a day now and close to consistently sleeping through the night. He loves being sung to, especially if it's a finger play song like The Itsy Bitsy Spider & Where is Thumbkin? Brady still spends a lot of time in the baby carrier {I'm looking into buying a mesh one to wear him in the pool and at the beach this summer!}, but we recently discovered he also loves riding in Hadley's old little pink car.

I found these next two pictures of Brady & Shelby, and I can't get over how similar they look as babies!!! It's crazy!!!

And here's Hadley at 9 months to compare!

A couple other photos from the past month--Brady's first "big" bath out of his infant bath tub & reading with Mommy!

{Brady's tongue is almost always sticking out these days!}

We snapped Brady's 9 month this past Saturday morning, and the girls couldn't be left out of the action! Even though we were totally just humoring them at the time, I'm thankful they insisted on being photographed b/c I think we got some keepers!
