9 months and more!

I am a little late posting, but Bryce is now 9 months old.  Holy cow...where has time gone?  I cannot believe he is so close to being 1.  It is kind of sad, but is he getting so cute.  He is advancing so much.  He still chooses not to truly crawl, even though, I have seen him do it.  He prefers to do a bear-crawl, and he is pretty dang fast.  He is also pulling up on everything, and even walking when you hold his hands.  He has also learned how to clap, which he thinks is just the cat's meow (I think it is pretty dang cute too).  He is also babbling a ton, which is so fun!  Where does time go?  Here is a new pic of my baby boy!

Happy 9 months little cowboy!

In other news.....Thanksgiving has come and gone, and Christmas is right around the corner.  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in our new home.  My mom and step-dad came up from Virginia to visit, and this was their first time seeing our house.  It was so nice to cook a big meal in a large kitchen.  We also had the fireplace going all day, which was very cozy.  Here are some pics of Turkey Day!

We wasted no time putting our tree up, and getting Christmas on the roll.  The day after Thanksgiving, our tree was decorated, and the house was looking rather festive.  Brady LOVED putting up the tree, which was awesome to watch.  This was really the first year he really knew what was going on.  It was priceless watching his face as the lights on the tree lit up.  He thoroughly enjoyed decorating the tree too, although, I had to do a little "re-decorating," or shall we say damage control.  We have already managed to make a gingerbread house too.  I think Brady will have a blast this season, and I cannot wait to see what Santa bring him.  We will be paying Santa a couple visits this year, and Brady is so excited.  We have yet to have our first snowfall, which believe it or not, I am ready for it to happen.  Check back in a couple months and we will see how I feel about that, but for now, I wouldn't mind some of that white stuff.  Happy Holidays!

Such a cute little boy!
