Weighed 18 lbs, 6 oz (67th percentile)
Measured 27 7/8 inches long (91st percentile! Holy cow!)
He's wearing mostly 12 month clothes now. The 9 month clothes seem to be too short.
He's rolling over both ways and is just starting to sit up on his own. He's also moving around on his tummy reaching for toys. He loves to pull hair and grab your cheeks.
He is eating solid foods now. I've been making all of his baby food and freezing it. It's really been fun. He loves fruits...apples, pears, peaches and bananas. He also loves orange vegetables (sweet potatoes and squash are his favorite). He's not so sure about peas and definitely doesn't like green beans yet. I'm not sure what I'll do if we have a picky eater on our hands. Lauren was always so easy with food (and she still is!)
He is also communicating. He loves to "talk". He is just starting to say "gaga" and I'm sure it will soon be followed by "dada". Why can't "Mama" be first? He is definitely a Mama's boy, so maybe I'll get lucky. He loves to snuggle and is really just a sweet, sweet baby. Even his sister thinks so. She loves to hold him and read to him. If he's crying, she's the first to sing to him or try to entertain him.
We are definitely seeing the daycare illness effects already. Ugh. Luke has pretty much been sick since the beginning of October. He started with an ear infection at the beginning of October and since then we've had a second ear infection, broncilitis, nebulizer treatments for wheezing, a trip to the ER and he now has a second round of a cold. When will it end?
Thanks for checking in on us!
Until next time--
