{really?.....9 months!)

Another month has come and gone and Lukie is 9 months!!! Where does the time go, seriously? So we had Luke's check up today and he is 17 lb 13 oz, which is 10% for weight and he is 29 1/4 inches long, which is 80% for height. So once again we have a ridiculously tall skinny boy. He dropped in weight this time. He use to be in the 20%. The doctor said it is because he is more mobile now. Still, Luke is eating every three hours on the dot. So weird.
Luke has been developing and making us laugh daily. For example, I was doing the dishes right when we got back from his appointment and all of the sudden he is pulling himself up to a standing position on the dishwasher. I ran and grabbed the camera to prove it. What!!! He hasn't done that yet. This is no good. That means he will be getting in to a lot more stuff.
Luke is babbling a lot more lately. He still sticks with "da da" and "ba ba" and I've heard an occasional "mmma". I'm really stretching it though. No worries. He loves me more than Jake. Let me tell you why.....
Jake thinks that both boys love him so much more. So I said let's see. We put Lukie down in the middle of the room (this is the second time I might add) and we see who he goes to. Without any persuasion he came right to me. And the other day at church he was fussing when Jake was holding him. His arms were stretched out reaching for me. I grabbed him and he was completely fine. I love it!!! It is nice to have one of the boys show their love.
Luke is still doing the army crawl. What a geek. He follows Nolan around everywhere but throws a fit when we put them in the tub together. Luke is terrified of Nolan and screams until we take him out. So we are now bathing the boys separate. Luke has 5 full teeth and 2 more that have almost broken through. His right tear duct is still blocked and we have to continually wipe it. He hates it! He is sleeping from 7:30 pm - 6:00, drinks a bottle and then goes back till about 7:30 am. He is the worst napper ever! He maybe takes an hour nap in the morning and maybe an hour nap in the afternoon. But regardless, he is still the happiest kid if we are hanging out with him. We love our Lukie! I can't believe his next check up will be his 12 month! Ahhhh!
