9 Month Fun Facts

I know I am late on these....but better late then never!

HEIGHT - 30 inches
WEIGHT - 23.5 pounds
CLOTHES - 12-18 months
DIAPERS - Size 4

FUN FACTS

We are officially on nothing but solid table food and loving it!
we are down to 3 bottles a day and quickly working our way down. He loves food and a drinking through a straw so much that I think it will be harder for us then hint o get off the bottles!
He had his first two weeks of swim lessons and he was by far one of the youngest but also by far one of the most laid back in the water! I think he gets that from his momma!
He continues to amaze us with the noises and sounds he creates as well as how loud he can get. We have been working on telling him what things everywhere we go!
He officially can say momma and uses it often!
he is free standing now for short periods of time and walking himself around things....but still no teeth!
We went from a rock star sleeper to up multiple times through the night. Usually a small pat on the bum and he is back to sleep. We are not sure what the deal is but we won't complain too much.
He is clapping!
Once in a while he will give you kisses...if he wants!
He still has quite the attitude!
If your not momma I DON'T LIKE YOU! He is going through a momma phase and all though it is nice to be loved so much it makes for long evenings and sad drop offs at daycare. I know it is just a phase but let me tell you he has one VERY STRONG attitude and LOUD angry cry!

We have lots to look forward to in month 10. I am hoping to work a little on baby sign language, take done last trip to see the Wisdom's, continue to work on our walking skills and work our way to no bottles.

I can not believe in a few short months we will be having his first birthday party! Thanks for keeping up with the Fenstermaker's!

A little bit of August

So far August has been a great month for us! Braylon is official y 9 months and has his appointment tomorrow! I will post his fun facts tomorrow too! We have had two great family vacations this month and one more to come as we travel to Minnesota to see the Wisdom family for some BBQ(i think) and the Zoo! We can not believe that school is starting this week! Andrew is as prepared as he can be with what he has and he is mentally trying to prepare himself for anew group of kiddos! This year at preschool we are fully occupied so it will be a little noisier and crazy but I am really looking forward too it! Braylon just had his 9 month pictures done and we scheduled his 1 year and our family pictures for November! in 3 short months we will be having his 1 year birthday party....how can this be!? Time is flying as a momma and dadda but we are enjoying it all and trying to soak it up best we can. Hope you and your families have enjoyed the summer! We miss you all!

About 10 months apart....can you tell?

Braylon's first olympic games....loving the sand volleyball! GO USA!

The Hansel getaway - GELENA!

We hit up the Mississippi museum and Aquarium while we were there! We also ate at a little hole int he wall place that had some amazing food and a whole cow serving as a steak!

The water wall....a bit of a shock for B

Gone fishin!

Wrestling the anaconda!

This is his new trick...guess the buckle is a must now!

Fenstermaker get away ~ THE DELLS!

The Dells adventure was fun! It is always nice to spend some family time and enjoy some places outside of our home area! Braylon took a little adjusting to sleeping in a pan-n-play but all in all we survived!
