A Letter to Lucas At 9 Months

My 9 month old.

Dear Luke,

I love you sweet boy! This letter is a little overdue since you are now 9 1/2 months old. We've had a lot going on lately, we found out we're moving to Baltimore and we've been going back and forth a lot looking for an apartment. We went to the convention last weekend in Newburgh, NY and the you've been sick with lots of mucous and a cough. Oh and I have jury duty all month long. Phew! All of that has made our life very busy.

No one has been busier than you, though. You have done so much in the past month. When you crawl now it's always on your hands and knees - we rarely see that army commando crawl now. In reality, though we don't really see you crawling all that much these days. Once you started pulling yourself up on the couch and cruising around it you lost interest in crawling.

This is the sight we constantly see.
Here's a video of how Luke feels about it.




You are developing the the sweetest personality. I still don't see any signs of possessiveness in you. We play a game where you when I make a popping sound with my mouth and open it, you take the pacifier out of your mouth and put it in mine. It gets me every time. Speaking of games you have so many that you love. Of course peekaboo is still your favorite, but you also love to have a ball rolled to you, you love to be read to, you love to imitate every gesture we make and you love to discover new things. To show your enthusiasm for all of this fun you will clap enthusiastically whenever we say "Yay!"

You really, really don't like being out of sight of me these days. If I leave the room you let out a wail like you'll never see me again.

You've gotten so very cuddly. You love to be carried while you snuggle your head on our shoulders. You easily fall asleep in our arms now. We love all of the cuddling, in fact I think we like it more than you do. At night now, when you sleep, you slide one chubby little arm around our necks and pull us closer to you.

I'll end with a video of your favorite new game. You shake your head at us and think it's the funniest thing ever. We do too.



We love you little bear, all the way to the moon, twice around the earth and back home again.
Mommy and Daddy
