Bronson - 9 months

My little heartbreaker at 9 months old.  

Some things about Bronson at nine months old...

Started climbing stairs!  (Dec 26 for the first time - Jan 9 went up 6)
Is everywhere and into everything!!! 

 
Likes to eat food on his own - Loves anything he can pick up

Crawling so good on all 4s

pulls up to everything now! and Occasionally lets go when he pulls up and stands on his own for a minute.  

LOVES balls!  His little arms go up and down over and over and gets so excited!  He is getting good at throwing too
Slept from 8:30- to 6:45 - 1/16
Funny eating mashed potatoes at Texas Roadhouse

Loves having free reign of the house and exploring everything on his own - Is so happy all the time when he can do his own thing - HATES having things taken away from him, especially if he's eating it!  loves to venture around and explore - is in heaven in the toy room cruising around and finding toys and doing his own thing!
Doesn't hold still for diaper changes anymore
Likes touch and feel and peek a boo books

Loves to bang anything he can together or on something to make noise

so happy all the time

Still struggling with sleeping at night - starting to get into a pretty good schedule of 2 naps a day for 1 -2 hours each - first between 10 and 11, second one around 3.  Bedtime around 8

Loves to dance and move to music!  

Sick...  Got the flu and threw up and then had something else with a fever and couldn't sleep - wanted me to cuddle and snuggle him and I kind of loved it

Hates to be fed.  Likes to feed himself.  He does like yogurt and sweet potatoes but that is about it
Is a Mamma's boy - When he gets upset, he cries so loud and will hold his breath
Says "da da da" for everything! He says it all day long. I thought he was saying it for Darren because one night he kept saying it whenever Darren would whistle or he could hear Darren talking when I would put him down for bed.  But then I realized he says it for everything! 

Loves his tub time!    
Did say "ba" a could of times for ball  - Has said "ma ma" a couple of times while crying in the night
Tooth #3 came through on January 26th (top front his right)
starting to give kisses
loves to do little headbuts or "noggins" when he puts his forehead against ours
loves being totted around by Rylee even thought it drives mom crazy
crawls with one leg out to the side.  I don't know if that is faster or easier to stop and sit up... 
grabs my glasses and loves to grab noses and faces in general

Has the sweetest smile and laugh and I love to tickle him and hear his giggles

love when the kids play peek a boo with him or throw the ball with him or read him books.  and he loves pat a cake and is getting really good at it
Starting to figure out signs for finished, and more.  Loves the sign (and sound) for elephant and figuring out the sign for dog.  He pats his leg for any animal he sees
Is always on the go and it is getting really hard to put him down at night or for naps because he never wants to stop and is not much of a snuggler

has some crazy bed head!  

Finally got a hair cut!  It was not his favorite thing.  Before, during and after.  His mouth is blue from his sucker that we used to bribe him.
