Playing, babbling, eating, walking, climbing, falling, bleeding,sleeping. These are just some of the activities that little Brady Boo is up to these days. He officially turned 9 months on Christmas Day and weighed in this month at just under 20 pounds and 27 inches and had a perfect bill of health. He is just such a happy little guy and we are treasuring every moment with him. 2012 was going to be the year of the sleeping baby and we spent the first couple nights of the new year trying to ferberize him to help him sleep through the night. A couple of nights of middle of the night crying and us wide awake, but I'm happy to report that he has slept through the night more in 2012 than in all the nights of 2011. Mommy and Daddy thank you Brady! He also took his first steps both at school and at home and we were lucky enough to capture them on video. With those first steps also came the first boo boos. A cut lip that bothered us more that it bothered him. He was such a little trooper through it all. He is starting to eat puffs and enjoys a variety of foods. His favorite is still bananas, but we've introduced potatoes (yellow, red, and even blue), prunes, cauliflower, zucchini, and apricots. He loves playing with all the cars he got for Hanukkah and Christmas, and loves to sleep with his blah blah doggy and little lion. He also loves to play in Chloe's Kitchen and his favorite toy food is a fake corn on the cob. He carries it around with him everywhere. When Chloe's not looking, he gets to play with the alphabet magnets on the fridge. He also has learned how to open cabinets. --oh boy, the fun is just beginning.
