Nine Months + Catching Up

Our cutie pie is 9 months old (plus 9 days...I am behind as usual). Luke now measures 29" (76th percentile) and weighs 20 lb., 4 oz (47th percentile), which makes him a lightweight in our household! I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that he is in a constant state of motion. He has recently figured out how to clap his hands and has become a master of the straw cup. I am often told how similar Luke and Nathan look, but the many differences in their personalities make it hard for me to see sometimes.


Shhh...don't tell big brother that Luke is playing with his toys (why is sharing with your brother so much harder than sharing with friends?)

Luke loved meeting his Tía Carly and cousins Nico and Santi during their visit from Panama...

And Jason and I recently got to have a birthday date, thanks to Noni and PawPaw! It thoroughly confuses Nathan every year that Daddy and Mommy's birthdays are just 4 days apart. By the time it's all over he's usually asking if his birthday is next week — ha! This year we both turned the big 3-0. Life, though hectic, is good, and we are so grateful for each other and our family.
