nine months.

Nine months. That is just crazy. Luka has had some more great milestones happen over the past month. He crawls (really fast!), he can get to the sitting position on his own, and he is starting to pull up on things, too. He also recently started babbling the "bababa" "mamama" and "dadada" sounds.


pulling up like a big kid

Oh, and two teeth!!



Happy boy!


And the saddest monkey ever. On Halloween:


Luka's solid food list is growing, and he is slowly starting to get the hang of picking up food with his fingers. Finger foods so far have been peas, fruit puffs, and crumbled tofu. He can handle a sippy cup really well now too, but he doesn't actually drink much from it. He mostly chews on the spout. More pureed solids include: lentils, raspberries, peaches, pumpkin, blueberries, and others.



Miles the cat follows the baby around wherever he goes, and Luka loves it. He's always crawling around with Miles and trying to pet him. It's pretty funny.

Luka has even slept through the night a few times on his own, which is so cool. We still feed him once in the night if he wakes up for it, because he's a tiny little sprout. He's growing well though, and his pediatrician is happy with his rate of growth. He made it to the 1% in weight finally at 15 lb 7 oz.

What a crazy nine months it's been so far. Full speed ahead to having a one year old. Whoa!
