I can't believe Luke is 9 months old. He is the best baby! He is still very serious and looks at everything very carefully, like he is trying to figure out how everything works! He does not like any food which is something I'm struggling with for two reasons: I hate picky eaters and I have to nurse him every three hours still! (even during the night). But he is a healthy 22 pounds and 10 ounces. He is 30 3/4 inches long. His head is 18 1/2 inches round. He just had his first visit to the E.R. because he was in a lot of pain and every 30 minutes he would scream in pain. I thought he might have swallowed something bad, so they did x-ray and they didn't find anything. So the next morning I went to the pediatrician and I while I was changing his diaper he started crying and peeing at the same time and the pee was slowly coming out. So they tested his urine and found white blood cells and blood. It got sent off to the lab to find out what kind of infection it was, but there was no infection. The doctor said he might have had some "gunk" build up. But he is better now! This happened a week after his nine month check up and just after a week he weighed 23 pounds even!
He crawls everywhere and climbs anything he can get his chubby legs on. He as gotten a few bumps and bruised, but keeps on going. He does say "Mamma" and he says it when he is looking for me or crying! And instead of having a farmers tan, I say he has a fat roll tan because in his wrist and ankle fat is very white and the rest of him is tan! He loves the pool and beach, he get very relaxed and usually falls asleep. Dallin said that he thinks it so fun having a baby around and I agree!He is my first baby that absolutely loves Daddy! It took the rest of them a while to warm up to him. Everyday when Rich gets home Luke goes right to him! This makes Rich feel good!
