Dear Luke,
I have started telling you "No" a lot these days. It doesn't matter where we are and how many toys are around you. You find a way to get into the things you're not supposed to... electrical outlets, the gate on the stairs, the panel curtains, the front of the oven, pulling up on dressers and bookshselves... My, oh my! And when I tell you no, you just laugh. It's not a devious, disrespectful laugh, but I think you really just don't get it and think I'm playing with you. I'm sure you'll learn before long. :) You are much less content to be in your jumperoo or exersaucer now than you used to be, which makes me a little sad. I really have to keep my eye on you and don't get to sit still much when you're around! I need to think creatively about some places I can take you to crawl and pull up. It's easy to get in a rut with our routine and your normal toys, but then we will do something new and you will be so happy. Like even just sitting on the front porch and looking at our plants. It doesn't take much as long as I'm there and it's something new. You remind me of someone else I know. :)
Love,
Mommy

Happy 9 Month Birthday!
Dear Luke,
At 9 months:
You weigh 19.8 pounds and are 29 3/4 inches long.
You can pull up to your knees. You first did this in your crib and I saw you in the monitor, but now you do this anywhere and on anything.
You have sprouted 2 little bottom teeth.
You eat 3 solid meals and 4 liquid meals a day.
You have developed an angry cry of protest when you don't like something, like when we take a toy from you or when your oatmeal is all gone.
You love your stuffed animals. You like to cuddle, rub them on your face, and chew on their noses.
You crawl with one hand open and one fist.
You love music... to play piano, listen to Daddy play piano or study his hands as he plays guitar.
You get bored if you're in the same place for too long.
You very clearly mimic what we do, such as sticking out your tongue, saying lalala, panting like a dog, and growling like a bear. :)
You bring us so much joy and we love you so much!
Love,
Mommy
