Teeth, teeth and more teeth

Well, I was wrong in my last post when I said two more teeth were coming in. There are two coming in...plus two more. 4 whole top teeth coming in at once! That is just crazy to me. Poor little Bryson has had a really tough time with these but hopefully they'll make their way through and the hard part will be behind us. It sure is tough watching your baby suffer like that! We've had several loooong nights but I think he's finally getting back on track with his sleeping. (Thank goodness!!)
His 9 month appointment was last week and it went well! Dr said he looks perfect as usual! He weighs 18 lbs 13 oz (I thought for sure this would be more) and he's 28 inches long. 50th percentile for height, 25th for weight, and.....drum roll please....90th for head. Who didn't see that one coming? He is beautiful and healthy and that is all that matters to us. He's just got a lot of brain power!
He learned how to clap last week and he is loving that! We even realized he knows what the command "clap" means. We don't even have to show him what to do, we just say "Bryson, clap!" and he claps away. That is just amazing to me! I'm trying hard to teach him to blow kisses but right now I've figured out he'd much rather do his Indian impression instead. He is also starting to "dance" to music. When he hears a tune he likes he immediately starts bouncing. TOO CUTE! I've been singing songs to him all day just to watch him bounce. Unfortunately I don't know many children's songs so the only songs I know to sing are the theme songs to the Disney cartoons he watches. (pathetic, I know) Jeffrey laughs at me all the time because I know the songs. It's amazing how into these things I can get now. Even if Bryson goes down for his nap, I can't turn the channel! I have to see if Tigger and Pooh solved the mystery or if Manny and the tools were able to fix their project! Ahhh motherhood....it changes you in so many ways.
Anyways, here are a few pictures from bathtime. (still the most enjoyable time of the day!)
