Pomerleau Family Blog: Brandon: The tenth month (September 2011)

At Brandon's nine month doctor appointment he weighed in at 23 pounds 3.5 ounces and was 30 3/4" tall. Brandon was in the 98% in height and 86% in weight. Brandon generally goes to bed at 8:30 AM and wakes up at 7:00 AM and naps usually at 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM. Brandon eats three solid meals a day and and drinks mommy's milk four times a day. Brandon tried and loves Spaghettios, Ravioli, waffles, and the Trader Joe's Gnocchi pasta.

Happy boy in the morning!

This month Brandon is cruising around the house holding onto furniture. He loves standing holding onto things and even stands in the bath tub! Brandon also loves crawling up the stairs and learned how to clap. I got Brandon a push walker this month that lights up and he loves it. He is also talking much more and says "ma ma" or "da da" and looks at us like he knows what it means. Brandon still loves throwing the books out of the bookcase in the family room. Towards the end of the month, Brandon learned how to cruise around holding onto the walls. Towards the end of the month, Brandon stood on his own without holding onto anything. He also started liking looking at books especially the ones that are tactile. Brandon also graduated to an "adult" bath tub from the baby bath tub.

We went to Lincoln City for Labor Weekend with Brooke, Taylor, and Logan and rented a beach house. Brandon also got his third tooth (top tooth) during this weekend. We had a great time in Lincoln City playing at the ocean (it was awesome weather the first day we were there). Brooke and I went shopping and we went out to dinner. We started swim lessons this month at the Sherwood YMCA with Brooke and Logan. It was a 8 week program with swim lessons being once a week. Brandon loved swimming and the games we played at the lessons.
