9 months!

My baby is quickly becoming not so baby!

At 9 months...

You love table food & feeding yourself

You still do not sleep through the night...and sometimes end up in bed with us

Like to stand up in your bed...which might be one of the problems in the middle of the night

Are one of the happiest & smiliest babies we know

Crawling & pulling up to every thing...cruising is just around the corner, eek!


At your appointment today, you were:

28" long - 67th %
16lbs 9oz - 13th % (tapering off in true Gisselbeck/Wertenberger fashion)
Head - 43cm - 24th %

And just so mommy remembers:
Size 3 diapers...2 bottom teeth...almost weaned...can get anywhere in the house...pretty much over stranger danger...and just a delight :)

A Little Help Please?

Show & Tell

Last night, while Brecken was supposed to be going to sleep, he hollers out (for the umpteenth time), "Mom, I have to tell you something."

"What...," I replied...trying to remain calm.

"Guess what I shared for Show & Tell today!" he exclaimed.

Since I completely forgot about S&T & knew we didn't pack anything...I was a little concerned. "What did you share?" I asked.

"My socks! My stinky socks!" he giggled. (these would be the socks he left in his bag from the prior day for P.E.)

I love it that he just rolls with it & doesn't get upset when mommy blows it & forgets what day it is. This is not the first time I forgot show & tell. Thankfully that day, he had a cool camo sweatshirt in his backpack. Lord help me on the day I forget & there is nothing to show in his backpack...I'm not quite sure what he'll decide to share :-)
