Lukes 9 Month Checkup

Luke turned 9 months old yesterday. I can't believe how quickly the time has flown! His doctor's appointment went well. They said they'll test for allergies at his 1 year appointment when they'll have to draw blood anyways. We'll check to see if he might be allergic to cats, dogs or birds. In the meantime, the pediatrician recommends vaccuming every day; yikes! I can barely keep up with vaccuming once every 3-4 days!

Luke now weighs a whopping 19 lbs 3 oz! And he's up to 28" long; quite a big boy! We're looking for a convertible carseat since he'll soon be too big for the infant carrier/carseat. (Which is okay by me; he weighs a ton when I have to carry him in that thing!)

We're starting with the finger foods now, even though he still doesn't have any teeth. He's having a lot of fun trying to feed himself; he loves those little Gerber puffs! He also enjoys sucking watermelon and fruit through his mesh feeder; that is a wonderful little invention!

He's bouncing in his doorway-mounted jumper and talking up a storm right now; he's got such a great and enjoyable personality! More later...
