9 months

9 long months of waiting, praying, thinking, wishing. wondering what my baby boy would be like.

fast forward 9 months to october 30, 2009.

lucas james whitt is such a blessing to us. his smile lights up the room, and his eyes are full of love. he is hardly a baby anymore. here are some random facts about my bubba! he is finally starting to get more hair. he has 7 teeth. he is still in a size 3 diaper. he wears size 9 month pj's but in clothes he is wearing size 12 months, or 12-18 months in those 1 piece outfits from old navy! he crawls super fast, and tries to pull up on things. his favorite thing to pull up on is the door frame, then he hits his head. :( he is into everything. he has major separation anxiety, and hates when i leave the room. he loves to be held. he goes crazy waving his arms and almost jumps in my arms when i pick him up in the afternoons. he sits in a big boy carseat now. he waves bye bye to himself but no one else! he is spoiled rotten. he loves to eat table food. he can squeal louder than any baby i know, girls included! he gets excited very easily. he still loves his blanky, he is a blanky boy just like his brother. he likes to cuddle and be held a lot, but when it's time for bed, he likes to be on his own to fall asleep. he holds his own bottle. he still babbles and says dada and baba but no mama yet. he has had his first does of the flu vaccine. he loves his pacie. he sleeps all night. he wakes up crying about 5:30 because he wants a bottle. after that, he is happy as can be. he loves to play with his toys, especially his yellow textured rubber ball. and he is starting to love trace's old guitar too. he laughs when you tickle him. he has the most adorable smile and laugh ever. we are skipping his 9 month well visit b/c we have been in the dr office a lot the past month. i will try and weigh and measure him soon though to see how big he really is. i know he is growing, thats for sure! and another thing, he loves his brother, daddy, and of course his mommy so very much! and the feeling is quite mutual!
