Brenton Update!

Brenton is 9 months old already.. geez! We go on the 26th for his 9 month appointment, so I'll update then how big he has gotten since last month :).

He finally figured out how to reach for something and get on his hands and semi-knees and then grab it and sit back up by pushing himself :). It's so fun to watch him do it, and he's getting great at it too. His way of mobilization is to roll around all over.. it's quite funny. Last night the coffee table leg was blocking him so he had to re-situate himself and then finally was able to go some more, lol. Of course when I run to get the camera he gets fussy. One day he will let me get it all on tape :).

Trying to get away!

He's taking his sippy cup during the day, and then gets a bottle in the morning and at night before bedtime. He does really good with it too. Right now he's eating 8oz with rice in his bottles in the morning and at night, then during the day mostly just solids and a sippy cup filled with formula or juice for him to snack on during the day. He wasn't eating for a few days last week, which has happened before, and so I figured he was re-arranging his eating schedule and what he needs and when.. which he has done. He doesn't want a bottle anymore during the day, just his solids and snacks. I try to at least get him 18oz a day, but we'll see what the Pedi says next week. I'm still feeding him oatmeal for breakfast so that he gets all the different vitamins, along with a fruit for lunch and veggie for dinner.

Brenton still only has the 2 bottom teeth. After those poked through on Christmas and they were done coming in, he had stopped drooling so much.. now it's right back to it so I'm think he'll be popping another tooth soon! He does really good with getting teeth in.. not cranky or anything.

I will update next week about his appointment. Have a good day!
