9 Months Old!!!

I know I say it all the time...but I just cannot believe how fast time flies. Brayden turned 9 months old this past Sunday. WOW! I'm starting to forget what life was like without him. I just couldn't imagine not having him around. He's amazing. It's unreal to think that one year ago today, he wasn't even here yet! I feel so blessed to have him in my life. At 9 months Brayden:

• crawls everywhere! Especially after Cali or the vacuum cleaner
• wants to pull up on EVERYTHING-he wants to walk so bad!
• eats 3 times a day-loves carrots, peas, and yogurt
• wants to throw his bottle across the room-he's always hated formula
• has 2 teeth-I'd love to catch a picture of them but it's not too easy!
• laughs all the time
• loves the remote control and cell phones
• is in the 65% for height, 75% for weight-my precious big boy :)
• still loves bath time :)
• sleeps 8-12 hours a night
• takes 2 naps a day
• says "mama" and "dada"-has said "bye bye" twice!
• is starting to wave
• growls-its is SO funny!

One of the biggest changes Brayden has brought to my life is my prayers. I love the Trace Adkins song "That's all I ask for anymore." It reminds me about how I feel now. To quote the song:

But as I bow my head tonight

there'll be no me myself and I

just watch my wife and kids dear Lord

that's all I ask for anymore.

Let em' outlive me by 100 years

let their laughter dry up all their tears

let em' love and be loved back like I have been
