Brazos: Nine Months

Little (or big) Brazos is nine months old already!  Here's what this nine-month-old is up to now:
 
- Still sleeps from 8-7 or 7:30
-Eating more table foods like potatoes, rice, and really anything he can get his hands on. :)
- He's a professional army crawler with occasional crawling on "all-fours".  We've even seen him practicing his yoga moves in the upward and downward dog. His form looks great!
- LOVES to "chase" Hudson around.  Hudson has even been spotted crawling around to play with Brazos too, haha.
- Starting to enjoy books more. Still not a ton of attention, but he does like to turn the pages.
- Starting to "stand" on his knees and it looks like it won't be long before he starts to pull up.
- He is connecting names with people.  "Mama" only when I'm around or when he wants me, "Da-da" when he sees daddy, and he has started to say "Ninna" for my mom (who is Grinna). My dad is still working on "Pop".  Hudson said "Pop" before Grinna, so my mom is happy about Brazos saying her name first. I think he even said "ba-ba" when he saw his bottle yesterday.
- He wears 9-12 month and 12 month clothing. We had to say goodbye to 6-9 month clothing a few weeks ago. 
- He weighs 20 pounds even now (50%) and is 27 inches long (25%).  We have a short and squatty boy on our hands! :)
- He is only 6 pounds smaller than Hudson now and they can wear some of the same shorts/pants, haha.
- Brazos is becoming more expressive every day and I love to see his personality come out.
- He likes to swing and be outside.
- He enjoys watching Snuggles run around, laughing at her as she jumps and barks.
 
 
I need to start planning this little guy's one year birthday party!  I've got some ideas, but need to choose the theme soon! 
 
Thank you, Jesus, for this special blessing!!! We love you, Brazos Hays!
