Brett - at 9 months

Brett at nine months:

• Brett is still Chunky Monkey. He weighs in at over 22 pounds right now. He is wearing 18 and 24 month size clothes! He absolutely loves to eat. I really think he is happiest when is in his booster seat with a tray full of food. He likes almost everything, but certainly prefers some foods. You can always tell what he likes best because he picks it all off his tray first. He eats a ton. His bottles have simply become a snack for him. He finishes one and looks at us like he is wondering where the rest of the meal is.
• Brett is such a happy baby. He hardly ever cries, which is what makes it so hard when he does cry. He definitely knows what he wants though, and while he doesn't cry much, he will complain when he doesn't get what he wants. When he has what he wants, he is so full of smiles! You would think those chubby cheeks would be sore at the end of the day from all the smiling!
• Brett is officially a crawler. We have trouble keeping him in one place any more. We've had to set up a little "pen" for him in the living room using the chairs and the ottoman.
• Brett's favorite person is still Jack. Jack can make him laugh more than anyone else can. He also usually wants whatever Jack has. This has made for some interesting situations for everyone. :)
• Brett, like Jack, loves to read. However, Brett has one book he loves above all others. I tried to read him something else today and he could see his "B is for Bear" book. He had a fit until I switched books, then when we got to the end he flipped the book over and wanted to start again. He will definitely know what all of the objects are in that book, but he may never know what anything else is! :)
