Lucas has been busy since his last update two months ago! He has changed so much!! Here are his 8 and 9 month pictures. It isn't easy getting a picture of him sitting still now.

| 9 Months |
 |
| 8 Months - He just kept peeling off his sticker |
 |
| This is what it looks like when you pull the sticker out of his hand and put it back on his shirt. |
At his nine month appointment he was 25 lbs 3 oz which is off the charts and 30 inches 95th percentile. He also has a big head, but you can probably see that for yourself :) This big boy fits comfortably in 18 months or 18-24 month clothes! He is still in size 4 diapers. I am really hoping he doesn't have a huge growth spurt this summer because all of his clothes are 18-24 months.
As I said, Lucas has been a busy baby these last two months. We had baby day at church recently and this is our family picture. It was great to celebrate Lucas and make a commitment to raise him to love the Lord and to follow Jesus.
Another thing he always stays busy at is looking adorable. Here is a whole lot of cuteness!!

| Thanks Aunt Laura for the vest and the Sams family for the shoes!! |
 |

 |
| Look at those eyes!! |
 |
| You can't do a blog post without a Mommy/Lucas selfie!! |
 |
| Here he is at his 9 month appointment. I love the face he is making!! |
 |
| This was my attempt to take some 9 month pictures with my new lens but...camera + new lens + perfect day doesn't = cute picture!! I couldn't get him to look at me to save my life! I think he was too mesmerized by the grass. |
I just wish I could bottle up these moments!!! His days of falling asleep in my arms are so numbered. I want to remember his eyelashes, chubby cheeks, his chubby little hands, and his smell. I love cuddling him when he sleeps!! I would love cuddling him while he is awake, but he is way too busy for that. I love my boys so much and they are growing up so fast!!
This little guy is still taking two naps. We moved his crib down to the lowest setting. In this picture he fell asleep playing.

Lucas has started venturing out with food. He loves puffs and yogurt melts and has totally mastered eating with his hands! I haven't really found too much he doesn't like. He does not like avacado!! He tried that and gagged and then spit up. The Dr said we can go ahead and start table foods. We are slowly trying new things. He still drinking 4 - 7oz bottles a day. Can't believe we are almost done with bottles!!
 |
| One of his best buddies wanted to feed him! I think he wanted to get some practice in before his new brother gets here in July. |
He moved to a big boy car seat in February!! As most of you know, he was getting way too heavy in that baby car seat. We moved him into Andrew's car seat and Andrew moved to a booster seat.
The only downside to moving him is that you no longer have the car seat to take in places. Here is his first trip to the store sitting in the cart. He loved it!!
He loves playing with Andrew's toys and for some reason has taken a huge liking to Buzz Lightyear. He also loves all of Andrew's cars and pretty much anything that Andrew is doing. He is kind of over baby toys!
He also loves the fireplace and Andrew did too. I hate it!! Why are boys so attracted to dangerous things!!
He also started bullying his brother!!
Our biggest news is we have a crawler!!! He started crawling at 9 months exactly!! Not only did he start crawling he also started pulling up on things all within days of each other. He is into everything now!! This picture is what he was doing at first. He was really complicating it by straightening his legs and then on the day he turned 9 months he figured it out!
