Sleep regression?

Is anyone going through that at 9 months? My little one will wake up at 3 am and want nothing more then a snuggle sesh with me. I’ll pick him up after letting him whine for a couple of minutes and put him in my bed and he’ll grab on to my arm so tightly trying to snuggle in. I then let him get sound to sleep, put him in his crib and he sleeps for a few more hours. The waking up at 3 am is tough because I don’t get back to sleep for an hour and then wake up at six for work.
