Luke wears a 12-18 months clothes. He weighs probably around 21-22 lbs and is getting thicker and heavier by the minute. He is in a size 4 diaper. He has tried mashed potatoes, peas, Mac n cheese, chicken (grilled and fried), crackers, pancakes, gerber puffs and yogurt melts, vanilla wafers, goldfish, nutra grain bars, peaches, strawberries, apple sauce, and fries. After he gets over the initial shock of how it tastes with flavor then he's fine. He eats little nibbles here and there. He still has baby food and yogurt to substitute what he needs. He loves water, Gatorade, and his formula milk. He has a total of 6 teeth which are 4 on top and 2 on the bottom; but 2 of the top teeth have not fully come in but they have broken through the skin.
As far as his activity, he is still not crawling. He hates to get up on his knees but will lay on his stomach and spin around to get where he is going. He is standing and using his walker to get around. We figure he will crawl eventually but go straight to walking instead. I will stand him up and try to move his feet standing behind him and he does good with that. The only problem we have is that sometimes when we stand him up he just starts bouncing and won't quit so we have to grab him by his chunky thighs to make him stop.
He loves to just sit in the floor and play with his toys. He can spin himself around on his booty and grab toys way out of his reach. He loves to bang toys together and loves hearing the sounds and music they play. Everything about a toy intrigues him.
He's beginning to talk more and communicate. He can say momma, dadda, and bye bye. He can play paty cake, clap his hands, play peek a boo, and shake his head "no." He's still the resident elephant in his creeper class at dayschool and he loves to make random noises.
We love you sweet Luke and cannot wait to celebrate your FIRST birthday next month. You have blessed our lives in so many ways.
