He has absolutely no interest in crawling yet! He will actually tolerate a more extended tummy time, finally! He is pretty content to just sit and play with his toys. He doesn't scoot, roll or pull up on the furniture. He is a little behind what is considered "normal", but I am not too worried. When he wants to start moving around I know that he will. I am happy to not worry about baby gates, cupboard locks, etc.He has just started to roll around in his crib and we enjoy getting him up from naps and seeing what kind of a position he will be in!
He loves to eat (in case you couldn't tell!!) He is still nursing 4 times a day and eats baby food at breakfast, lunch and dinner. He loves to eat green beans, mixed vegetables and sweet potatoes as his vegetables. He enjoys all fruits but favors mangos, peaches and any berry mixes. He LOVES cheerios. He takes his little pudgy fingers and puts them in his mouth as fast as he can!! I haven't really given him any other finger foods quite yet. I am waiting for all his chompers to come in.
Speaking of chompers, in the past three weeks he has gained 4 teeth on the top!! That brings his total tooth count to 6! Everyday those chompers get bigger and bigger! He only bit me twice when he first got his bottom teeth a few months ago and I'm hoping that he doesn't start now! He is actually really good when he teethes. He was waking up once in the night for several nights when he was cutting all those teeth, but he would just nurse for 3-5 minutes and then go right back to bed. He doesn't get really drooly, sick or too whiny.
He is still a great sleeper. This is a typical sleeping scheudule

He loves to sit and play with his toys. His favorite toys are blocks, anything that lights up and makes noise, remote control, phones, daddy's string on his hoody and his jumper. He is so good to just sit on the carpet and play and when he gets bored I move him to a different toy or location. We try to read books everyday and he likes to turn the pages and hit the book. He loves to play peekaboo, wrestle, get tickled or be upside down.
He is definitely better in the car. I have noticed him looking out the window more and checking out what is going on outside. He just started taking his socks off. It is always the left sock first! He then chews on it and then it will be sopping wet when we arrive at our location.
When we go to the grocery store and I have a list he has to have his own list. So, I learned to bring an extra piece of paper that he can hold. We usually make it through the produce and bulk section and by the time we get to the meat section he starts to eat the paper and I have to take it away! He also loves to hold credit cards! I have old insurance cards that I let him hold in the store and he loves to just hold the card and wave it around. When we get to the checkout he wants to push the buttons on the credit card machine and he waves his card at it. Hmmm.....maybe I take him to the store too much :)
He laughs at the craziest things sometimes. Like today at the Doctors office there was a little girl walking by and she sneezed and he laughed his pants off! He has also laughed at tortilla chips being crunched, crinkling paper, mommy walking up the stairs, wind blowing in his face, pulling his shirts over his ginormous head and people getting hurt!
I can't believe he is getting close to one year old! He is the greatest kid in the whole world! Love you Lukey!

Oh my they do grow up fast don't they. I feel the same way at least your little man isn't crawling that makes them seem so much older. Jaxon is already standing and walking along the couch...he's been crawling for 2 months now and as soon as he did I didn't feel like he was a baby anymore, so sad. This age is so fun though, enjoy him not being mobile yet it gets much harder once they are! Luke is so dang cute I wish we lived close so they could play!
Oh but 6 teeth? Wow, Jaxon just barely cut his 1st!
He is so adorable Holly! You guys have a VERY cute blend! And I can't believe how many teeth he has! My kids don't usually cut teeth till like a year old or so. He sounds like a very sweet and mellow little guy:)
I LOVE 9 months. Especially if they aren't crawling. It's so nice to just put them somewhere and they stay there. They are also old enough to entertain themselves for a few minute. Oh, Holly, he just keeps getting cuter and cuter.
