10 Months!

Creeden turned 10 Months old today!

We had a great 1st Thanksgiving with our little turkey!

We just got his 9 month pictures back. You can see the album HERE. They are so precious!

He finally broke through his first tooth (bottom). He is in the process of breaking a few more. He has been pretty cranky in pain lately. It breaks our heart.

He finally decided crawling wouldn't be so bad. He still likes to crawl to something that he can pull up on so that he can be on his feet. We knew he was on the verge so we started recoding each time he tried so that we could catch the first time. We got it! Here is the first time Creeden crawled:


He has gotten so much faster in just a week. We can hardly keep up with him! Here is a video from today which is just about a week later:

He has gotten so funny and can really interact with us. Here is a video of him playing Peek A Boo with Daddy:

We are having a blast with our little man. Everyday is something new! 

6-9 Months!

I have not kept up with this blog well. I do refer to it though a lot so I want to keep it up!

Lots has changed in the past 3 months! It seems he changes daily.
First his stats: at his 9 month checkup he weighed 21lbs (50 percentile) and is 29 1/4 inches long (75 percentile).

Creeden still isn't crawling or walking, but is close. He has not been too interested in crawling, he wants to be on his feet! The past few days though, he has taken a little interest in crawling. He can go backwards, which frustrates him a lot!
We have been working on learning sign language. He can sign 'more' and pat his leg for dog. He knows when I sign bottle what it means, but he has not done it yet.
He has gotten better with sleep since my last post when he was 6 months old. He goes to bed at 8 very routinely. We do a bath, book and bottle every night. Some nights he will sleep until 6am, take a bottle, and go right back to sleep until we wake him up for school at 7. Most nights though he will wake up a few times wanting to make sure we are still there. We are working on breaking him of this. It is so hard to let him 'cry it out' when we have been away from him all day. We just want to snuggle him too! :)
He has a head full of hair and it can get crazy! He has the worst bedhead of any baby I have seen! He is so hot natured that he sweats a lot at night which makes his hair go every which way.
He is to the age now that you feel like you can communicate and play with him. He understands a lot and is already pretty ornery.
He eats like crazy and can have table food as long as it is gummed easily (still no teeth!).
His first word was 'momma' (yes, I worked with him like crazy for that!) and a very close second with 'Dada." He has added "nana' to that now as well. He is a chatterbox already! I love his little voice!

Now the best part - pictures!

We will start with the past 3 monthly pictures with his bear!

This is is Halloween costume! He was Pinocchio!

In his Sooner jersey!

We painted pumpkins for Halloween! Messy but fun!

 His first trip to the zoo at 7 months!

It has been a busy but fun past few months. It is time to start planning his first birthday, which makes me so sad. He brings us so much joy, and we are so very thankful that God gave us Creeden!
