9 MONTHS OLD

My friend Julie does a monthly "birthday" post about her daughter. (How cool is it that she will be able to look back and remember exactly what her baby was like at each age?)
Anyway, I think it is such a great idea! So, I'm going to start the same tradition with Bradshaw who just turned 9 months old.

BRADSHAW:
-has 4 teeth
-eats every 3 hours (breakfast, lunch, dinner + 2 bottle-snacks)
-loves to babble and make high, shrill noises
-can scoot to things he wants (his friend Kaylie taught him)
-is quick to smile and laugh
-spends about 45 minutes in the bathtub everyday
-can eat a whole apricot on his own
-unintentionally pinches really hard and pulls hair
-naps for 2 hours in the morning and 3-4 in the afternoon
-loves to lean against people, lay his head on your shoulder & give open-mouth kisses
-wiggles his whole body and slaps the ground when he gets excited
-is very ticklish (neck, chest, armpits, legs)
-loves to stand (and goes stiff as a board when you try to make him sit
-lunges out of my lap or arms for whatever he wants
-sleeps on his stomach
-reaches his arms up to you when he wants to be held

Hooray!!! Way to go Bradshaw! That is so awesome. I love the scoot/crawl. Kaylie still won't use her knees yet, she's quite content with the scoot. Thanks for sharing the video! So cute!

I love the little scoot video. He looks a little discouraged at first, but he succeeds! I love our little scooting tooter.
