9 months.

I notice lately that I have been taking photos of Luke primarily with my phone. It is definitely not the best quality but seems to be within reach whenever I need to snap a quick shot. I love my new DSLR that I got for Christmas from my two guys but it is definitely not for taking quick little snap shots. Thankfully I have a little fujifilm camera that just needed a battery charge.. Hopefully I'll be able to snag some more.

Things have been a little quiet lately so I thought I'd just jump on here for a minute and try to catch up.

Luke is 9 months old now. I may have mentioned, but on the day he turned 8 months at 5pm he started crawling. Yes- I remember the exact time. He was not crawling at 4:45, or even 4:55. At 5 pm on the dot, my dad held up the remote and Luke crawled across the room to get it. So that was kind of awesome.

Now he's 9 months. He eats 3 meals per day, is not a big fan of juice (hooray!), loves chicken and BBQ sauce, will devour a hot dog in no time, likes to eat off of a fork, wants to eat whatever I'm eating (which is a-ok with me, I don't mind sharing with him), loved Stuffed Pepper Casserole, oranges, noodles, broccoli, french fries, summer squash and can crawl super fast. He can stand up and walk along furniture and has been seen multiple times just standing without holding on to anything. He's so observant and wants to be involved in every conversation. He'll fake cough to get your attention and will now grab your chin if you're looking away so that you can look at his face and talk to him. He loves the swings and the see-saw. He still eats everything he finds on the floor, dust bunnies and rocks are not left behind. If you ask for a kiss, he'll give you one and sometimes he needs to just give kisses for no reason. He hollered when his auntie walked away because he didn't get to give her a kiss. He laughs for no reason, kind of like a chuckle. He'll say Num Num when he wants something to eat. He likes Snicker-doodles. He makes a stinky face. If you say cheese and point a camera at him, he'll show you all his teeth. And we gave him a haircut because his hair was in his eyes. He looks like such a big boy now. He's the light of our lives. 

I seriously could not ask for a better kid.

P.S. I'm working on my 20 wishes. I can knock a few things off at least. Maybe I'll get around to doing a post on it soon :)

My life in pictures (lately)

Lucas learned how to give kisses. It's pretty much the best feeling in the world.

And he likes BBQ sauce and Orange Juice. And anything with good flavor, like tacos and stir fry.

He learned how to crawl on his 8th month birthday and hasn't stopped since.

And he just learned that he can pull himself up and walk along the furniture. Which means we're in BIG trouble.

Wish us luck.
