Brayden's 9 Month Update

NINE MONTHS!!! Seriously it is so overwhelming to think that you will be a year old in 3 months...we just can't believe it. You saw Dr. Beazley this past week and he can't believe how beautifully you are growing. You weigh 16lbs and 6 ounces, your 27.5 inches long and your head is 17.5 inches in diameter. You are one lean, athletically put together little man. Here are few things that he has been up to this past month:

-You are starting to balance yourself and being very careful while doing it
-You are still in 3 diapers
-Your starting to sleep better at night...but it always subject to change
-You are wearing 6 to 9 month clothing
-Still no teeth...but we are an excellent drooler
-We started you on some organic yogurt, and right now you seem to like it
-Your eating more finger foods...a lot of veggies
-We have got you to try cinnamon on some of your food...and you gobble it right down!!
-Your now getting 3-8oz bottles a day
-Your still napping twice a day, anywhere from 2 to 2.5 hours
-You love playing with the dishwasher
-Bath time is your most absolute favorite time of day....you love the water!
-Your starting to babble a lot more...which I am still praying for "Mama" any day now

We love you so much little man, and we are looking forward to your first Easter!!

Consignment Finds

Well this past Saturday my Mom, Ashley and I went to a BIG consignment sale!! It was actually really cool, I had never been to one..but a couple friends of mine had and told me that I should go. So sure enough I got up really early met mom for breakfast and then we were off shopping...I was actually really surprised with what I found!! Brayden got a few toys nothing to crazy...but we did go crazy on the clothes! He got everything between 9 months to 24 months. And I know these will last for awhile considering he is still wearing some of 6 month stuff.

He ended up with 7 outfits (either one pieces or sets), 4 dress shirts, 1 jean jacket, 2 pairs of overalls, 2 pairs of pants and 1 baseball cap....plus his toys..for a grand total of $ 127.67!! Which I cannot believe considering the great condition they were in and the brands that they were. I will definitely be going back in the fall!!
