Brody-10 Months

This weekend was pretty busy and exciting. Brody climbed up 15 stairs all by himself and turned 10 months on Saturday! I can't believe in 2 short months we will have a 1 year old. How can he really be that old?! Nolan just adores him and it is so fun to see them start "playing" with each other!

Brody at 10 months...

• Weighs 19lbs
• Wears 9 and 12 month clothes
• Loves to eat bread, sweet potatoes, apples & cherries, bananas, carrots, puffs. He has tried some new foods this month-macaroni and cheese, ravioli, and  cinnamon rolls just to name a few.
• Sleeps 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. (Has a bottle) and then sleeps til we wake him around 6:45 a.m.

• Crawls everywhere and learned how to crawl up the stairs.
• Cruises along furniture and stands holding on to things very well. He now has started to stand without hanging onto anything

• He loves to walk in my walker I had from a baby-he moves so fast around the kitchen and dining room..
• Brings joy to our lives each day!

Brody-9 Months

Mr. Brody is now 9 months old. To celebrate, DMPS cancelled classes so I could spend the day with him.....or because it was too cold to go outside. =) Our day was spent playing with Nolan, eating, napping, celebrating with a little cake...(just a taste-it was mostly so Nolan could blow out a candle and sing), and then a bath. The life of a baby-how nice!
