9 Months

Luke, you are nine months old today.  You are getting sweeter by the day. 

At your 9 month well check, you weighed 19.5 and were 28.5 inches tall.  These are both in the 50%.

You have started eating "real" food this month and I actually think you prefer it over the baby food.

You have eaten pasta, chicken, cheese, yo baby yogurt, cheerios, and kix.

You are so cute and determined trying to feed yourself.  Most of the food ends up on the floor, or stuck to your clothes, but you do manage to get a few in your mouth!

You are sleeping so much better this month.  You have become a good napper on the days we stay home.  You take a morning and late afternoon nap, then go to sleep for the night around 7:00 pm.  You love to go to sleep listening to piano music.

You have been practicing learning to crawl with your Daddy and just the other day got into the crawling position on your own.  You are rocking back and forth before you fall.

You are wearing mostly 9 month or 6-12 month clothes.

You are still in size 3 diapers.

You are toothless, which is to be expected of our babies.

Lukie,as you are affectionately called by your sister Caroline.  You are the light of our lives.  You truly complete our not so little family of ten.  We love you.  We pray God's will and protection over your life.  We pray that you will love God and pursue Him passionately.

"For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”

Genesis 18:19
