The Lukers: March 2012

Happy 9 months to our sweet baby boy!!!!!! I can't believe it! It is so crazy to me that in 3 months, he will be a year old! I don't think I am ready for it! Harrison has changed so much just within the past month. Everyday is a brand new adventure. He keeps us on our toes already. I can only imagine how it will be once he starts to walk everywhere.

Harrison:

-weighs 21 lbs and 9 oz. He is in the 80th percentile for weight.
-is 28 inches long. He is in the 40th percentile for height. :(
-is in size 4 diapers and 12 month clothes all around. Some shorts are a little long on him, but as you can see, he doesn't have the longest legs.
-is army crawling EVERYWHERE!! It's exhausting. If there is an electronic or chord anywhere in the vicinity, he will find it. We had put a cover over the chord to the video monitor in his room because it was behind his crib. This morning, when he went down for his nap, we checked on him on the monitor and he had stuck his hand down the back of the crib to the part of the chord that wasn't covered and pulled it up and was playing with it!! He is very clever and very sneaky! He got very upset when Daddy moved the chord to another outlet! I don't know how well that's going to work either. When we play in his room now, he goes straight to it. We have to figure something out.
-is pulling up to his knees. He hasn't quite gotten to his feet yet. The doctor says since he is a big boy, it may take him a little bit. She said that he should be doing it by 10 months.
-has made a few new friends. We go to a workout class during the week. Moms all bring their kids and we workout while they are in their strollers.
-is eating more and more solid foods. He still loves just about anything we put in front of him. After he had eaten baby food the other day, I put some mac and cheese on his tray (mainly to help with his pincer grasp skills.) He loved it. Although, once I picked him up, I am fairly certain that there was more ON his belly than IN it!
-still only says "dada." I think he is starting to say, "hey." No "mama" yet, though. :(
-is doing great with sleep. He sleeps all night, and usually takes at least one great nap during the day, if not two.
-has 4 teeth that have broken through. He has the two front bottom, and one top front and one top side. The other side tooth up top is about to break though. I don't know where that other top front tooth is or when it will decide to show up.

Harrison is such a blessing to our family. Sometimes I can't believe that I get to be this little guy's mom.
