Nine Months!


Only 9 months and already driving!

We celebrated Luke's 9 month birthday by doing last minute preparations for our trip. We went to Dr. Patterson's for his 9-month check up last Thursday when we got back from the beach. It is hard to believe how fast time is going. He was 28 1/2" long (56th percentile) and 22 # 14 oz (69th percentile). I asked Dr. P to print out all of his heights and weights thus far.

Just to reminisce...the first time he visited the pediatrician's office Luke was three days old, weighed 6 # (8th percentile) and was 19" long (7th percentile). It is amazing how far he has come. Every time we visit Dr. P she always comments how he was just a "little bitty guy" when he was born and now look at him! It is a rule of thumb that a baby should triple his birth weight by 12 months. Well, Luke already has that covered!
