Happy 9 month Birthday Lucas!


9 months big guy-can you believe it? Sorry you had to start your morning off by going to the doctors but we were afraid you had another ear infection-Thank God you didn't. I guess you are just a bit stuffy right now. Maybe it is those next set of teeth coming in that make you grab the back of your head? But you are still a growing baby-20 pounds, 9 ounces (with clothes as Daddy would be quick to point out). We will have to wait until next week to find out how long you are when you go in for your 9 month well baby check up.

So what are you doing now? You are consistently eating-you LOVE to eat your pureed foods. You even tried real food this weekend-cracker, pasta. Better things are coming. You have graduated from sitting in your car seat at restaurants to sitting in the high chair. You love to slap now-you think it is a game, we think it hurts. You are working your arm muscles by grabbing everything-the remote, table clothes, bags of chips, plates. Nothing is safe from you anymore. And you have learned that when I clap my hands at daycare, it is time for us to go and you hold out your hands to me:) Such a smart baby. You can pretty much sit up all by yourself and you love to roll onto your belly-you just don't like to stay there that long. You made another trip to Buffalo to see your "northern" relatives and you had another sleep over at Grandma and Poppa's.

You sometimes get anxious when you don't see me or Daddy. Don't worry, we don't go far.

We can't believe how big you are now and how much fun you seem to have with us (and Jeff). Know that we will always love you.
