Lucas is 9 Months

Another busy month for Lu Bug! Our sweet, easy going baby is still just that, but with a little spunk and opinion added to the mix. Lucas now enjoys sitting on his own, and is getting really close to crawling. Although he looks a little bald, he actually has blond hair just like Big Brother...I wonder if it will be curly too? Lucas is now sporting four teeth, two on the bottom and two on the top. As of late (not sure if he is starting to teeth again) he has been starting to reject his baby purees and really prefer"big boy" food that he can put in his mouth and chew on...just one step closer to not needing to be spoon fed (yay!) Despite the fact that Lucas eats and eats, often more than Christian, I am not sure where he puts it. At Lucas' 9 month well-baby checkup (1 week early I must mention) he weighed 16 pounds 13 ounces, putting him in the less than 3rd percentile, and was 28.25 inches long, putting him in the 41st percentile for baby boys his age. He is still wearing a size 3 diaper and wears 6-12 month clothing. Lucas loves to give hugs and big open-mouth kisses, especially to Big Brother, whom he adores. My favorite thing right now is to see the boys playing together, to hear Christian talking sweet to Lucas, and to continue to watch the special bond form. Such a blessing to be parents to these amazing kiddos!

These two are truly adorable. Looking forward to when we get to see them and hold them again.
