9 Months

A few things I love about Luke...
The few times a week he lets me cuddle and rock him just because..even if it is short lived.
His deep belly laugh at Chloe.
Being super excited when he sees Tyler and lights up the room with his smile!
When asking him "How big is Luke?" and he throws his hands in the air and we say "SO BIG!"
His good eating habits.
Watching him play with his toys.
The list could go on, but I'll stop there :)

Luke weighed in at 22 pounds 14 oz and was 30 inches in length. 95% for both still and he's a healthy, growing boy! 

Luke: 8 Months

All of a sudden Luke can crawl very fast now, go from crawling to sitting, pull up on everything to stand, and feed himself (some stuff anyway!) .....I think we've seen the biggest changes in the past few weeks.

Luke has his top 2 teeth as well now and we may get a small teething break here for a week or so before top sides start to break thru! woohoo! :(

Food: We've been pretty care free letting him try lots of new things (maybe a little earlier than most first time parents, but he loves it!) Luke has thus enjoyed pizza, grilled cheese, meatloaf, lasagna, and his normal fruits and veggies. Our garden this summer has provided us plenty of green beans and zucchini - so he's getting his fill of healthy too!

Luke hugs his pick-a-boo bear and we are trying to teach him certain signs like: Hi/Bye, more (food), all done, so BIG, etc... I can't wait for him to repeat one!

One of his all time favorite things to do that I can't believe I haven't mentioned is read books! Barnyard dance, snuggle puppy, Moo-baa-lalalaa....So, all Sandra Boynton Books :)

Still says "dadadada" for everything!

Luke: 7 Months today

 

Luke is 7 Months today! 

Luke has his 2 bottom front teeth and from the looks of it the top 2 are coming in! Teething in the Klein house has not been fun (but thankfully he still sleeps thru the night!)

Luke LOVES: CHLOE (he laughs at her all the time), his johnny jumper, bouncy in our arms, riding bikes/walks in the subdivision and swimming at the pool. He also loves playing with the remote (we gave him a broken one just for him!)

Food: Luke eats really anything (thankful he's not picky)...He rotates between green beans, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes (his favorite), pears, bananas, apple sauce, and enjoy cherry yogurt drops. Luke still nurses and eats regular food 3x a day.

Luke can sit up on his own and crawl (more like scoots) backwards. He sleeps from 7:30pm to 7:00am and takes 2 naps that total around 3 hours during the day. What can I say, he likes to sleep, just like his momma!

 Luke now stretches his arms out to go from mom and dad (or nana!) He's gives us lots of smiles and Tyler thinks he got the first hug today in the pool :)
