Luke Michael, YOU are NINE months old today! And you are getting into everything...
You have figured out to scoot and spin on your bottom to reach a toy and have no fear diving to reach something. While you are not crawling, you can roll all over the place. You try to pull up, but so far can only get to one knee. You are still so, so, so happy but are sure to protest and throw a fit if I take something that you want away from you. Your fits consist of arching your back, growling, throwing your arms back, and turning red. :) Some days, though, I realize that it's bedtime and you haven't cried one single time! You love playing with your toys- your mailbox, phone, and cold teether seem to be your favorites. You also love playing with Caleb's toys, and he shares as long as you have your passie in. (He is scared to death that you'll drool on his toys!)
You are loud and make your presence known, but you can also be the most chill baby and simply sit on my lap and play for a long time. Last week you started to do a fake cough when you hear someone else cough, and that is just my favorite thing! Grandmom swears you have said "hi" twice, although I've yet to hear it. You LOVE your brother and he just cracks you up. You are also very fascinated by Rhett, and love watching him clean up the food you throw on the floor. I kinda like to think you're a Momma's boy, but Daddy sure is high up there too.
Before you got sick you were taking a bottle at 7:30am (4oz), 11:30am (5oz), 4pm (6oz), and 7:30pm (6oz). For breakfast you eat oatmeal, bananas, and about 1/2 of a waffle. Lunch and dinner is usually 2 containers of food, plus lots of finger foods. We figured out the hard way that yogurt does not agree with your tummy, so we've taken that off the menu lately. Your favorite finger foods include bread, green beans, and carrots. You also really like mac and cheese and cheese pizza, although I hate to admit you've already tried it! You are a champion sleeper, taking two naps a day and sleeping great at night. Due to an accidental "cry it out" one night, we not longer have to go to your room if you wake. I'll hear you on the monitor just talking yourself back to sleep! You always sleep with your softie and prefer sleeping on your side and tummy.

You've had some transitions and "firsts" this past month...You now ride in the big convertible car seat and like sitting up more. You spent the night at Grandmom and Grandpa's house and slept great- yay! You also had your first fever, ear infection, and antibiotic, all the while keeping a smile on your precious face!Words cannot express how much we adore you, sweet baby! A cuddle and hug from you is the greatest feeling. And that toothy grin of yours- there's nothing better! I know that your time as our baby is limited, but boy we sure are enjoying every second with you. Love you more than words, Luke Michael!
Stats:
At your sick doctor visit you weighed 18.5 pounds and were 28 inches tall. You wear a size 12 months in clothes and fill them out just fine! During the day you wear a size 4 diaper and sleep in a size 5 at night.
