Baby and Brayden update...

This week was the week of appointments. Thursday I had a check-up for the baby and today Brayden had his 9 month check-up and fun for me...tomorrow I have a dentist appointment. Lots has been going on with Brayden these past couple of weeks so I thought I would share...
-Brayden began crawling. He is a much happier baby now that he has more freedom of movement. Now he wants to pull himself up on things and try and walk around.
-Brayden's teeth continue to come in and he is doing much better at self feeding.
-Brayden weighed in at 20 pounds (he lost some weight from crawling) and 28 inches long. I can't believe he has almost grown a foot since he was born!
-Brayden said his first word...mom! He won't say it on command...only when he wants to be rescued from something. We are working on dad or dada now.
Here are some pictures of what Brayden has been up to recently:

Playing with his toys. He crawled into his toy basket but got scared and I had to come get him out.

Crawling around. He likes the blinds and to peek out the patio window.

Playing with his leapstart Leapfrog music learning table. He likes that he gets to stand up at it and play.

Playing with Dad. He loves when dad comes home. He gets to excited to see him!

Brayden in his new forward facing car seat that he got for Christmas. He likes this one a whole lot better. He likes to play with his shoes. Can't you tell?

As far as the baby...I am now 16 weeks along and still sick as can be. In fact, I am more sick than I was in the first trimester. I am hoping this ends soon!!!!!!!! We find out soon what we are having...feb 6th and i am excited!
