Luke: 10 Months

Height: 29.3 in. (68%)

Weight: 17 lbs. 11 oz. (11%) 

Head Circ.: 18 in. (61%)

At 9 months, Luke:

• wears size 3 diapers, but really a size 2.5 would be perfect
• has 8 teeth
• wears 9-12 month clothing

Luke eats a LOT these days. He prefers finger foods he can feed himself, which works out well because I prefer that too...except for the mess that follows!

I really thought he would walk this month, but I've now realized that every time he tries to stand up or walk, Peter picks him up or hugs him or tackles him...you get the picture. Luke's figured out it's much quicker to crawl to escape or to chase me, so he doesn't seem too interested in walking right now. He does still love to pull up and stand and walk along the furniture.

As evidenced in these pictures, he's REALLY into toys right now. It's been so fun to watch him discover all the toys in his room. His current favorites are blocks and phones and balls.

I know everyone thinks their baby is the sweetest, but this kid is THE sweetest. :) He doesn't often sit still, so his cuddles are few and far between. He giggles a LOT and is a really happy guy. 

He's still nursing 5-6 times a day and sleeping about 10-12 hours at night. Our nursing sessions are kind of chaotic as he refuses to be under a cover and doesn't stay latched for more than 15-30 seconds at a time. Nursing in public is pretty much a thing of the past if I want to maintain any modesty.

Peter and Luke are starting to play together more and it's my favorite thing ever. They will play in a room together (as long as they door is shut) for 20-30 minutes before coming to find me and destroy whatever I'm working on. :)
