Luke celebrated 9 months on December 8th.
He has been so busy in the past month. He has been moving all over the place (still not "crawling," but rather inching (think inchworm) wherever he wants to go). He started moving around like that in his 8th month, but he got even faster this month.
We've been very impressed with Luke's coordination. He seems to have very good eye-hand coordination and can pick up and stack those little rings on the post (I don't know what that toy is called).
Luke increased his tooth-count to 4 during his 9th month. He had his two bottom teeth already, but his top two teeth started growing in during this month.
He also said, "Da-da" for the first time. He doesn't say it consistently, still (like he says, "Mama") but Aaron was starting to think Luke would NEVER say "Da-da."
Luke is still wearing 12-18 month clothes. He still likes sweet foods. He has tried more finger foods, and he doesn't choke every time he tries to put something like a "puff" in his mouth. He LOVES yogurt the best, and enjoys eating puffs and shredded cheese. He has also tried little bites of table food like baked beans, green beans, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc. He really seems to like the "real" food, and I think he's looking forward to eating more and more of it. We have just been a little nervous to give him much, because he wants to eat it so fast and has choked on the puffs in the past!
We went to the doctor for Luke's 9 month well visit on December 8th. He weighed 22 pounds, 7 ounces (which puts him in the 89th percentile for weight). He was 28.25 inches tall (47th percentile for height), and his head circumference was 18 inches (73rd percentile). So, he's short, but heavy (which we already knew from trying to carry him around all the time)!
