Today, believe it or not, Luke is ten months old. Yep, he's been living outside of my body, breathing oxygen on his own, for 10 months now. Here's the "monthly" photo of him in our chair.
But first, a recap. Here's Luke at two months....
Luke at four months....Boy, what a chunk he was!
And, at six months....
At eight months....
And, posing for us all just this morning, Luke, at 10 months....
**Just two days ago, we noticed another tooth had popped through on the bottom. So, that now makes 7 teeth for Luke. There was no extra fussiness with this tooth (yeah!), but there was some diarrhea (yuck!) -- at least we think that's why that happened.
**Luke is a little "delayed" (for lack of a better term) on crawling. He's not doing it yet, though we know he COULD if he chose to. He rolls everywhere. He gets up on all fours and "rocks," and he's been doing that for two months. He goes from a sitting position to a crawling position very well and very quickly. Oh, how he so could do it. He's just content rolling, I guess. I found out just the other night that I didn't walk until 15 months. My mom couldn't remember exactly when I started crawling (she was going to look that up), but my guess is that it was delayed as well. So, perhaps Luke is taking a bit after me on this whole thing. If he takes after me on the brains, he'll be oh so very smart (Ha Ha).
**He's still really liking his swimming lessons! I, as his mother, actually did put him under water earlier this week. Though it was hard to do, I'm glad I did. I do very much want him to like the water and not be afraid of it.

i remember putting ava under water for the first time. i felt SO BAD! but its better to do it sooner than later! she certainly doesn't mind the water now! :)
He is a growing boy! It was fun to watch him rolling around this morning!
Graham didn't crawl until until nearly 11 months. Here we are at 15 months. Still not walking. I guess he'll do it when he's ready!
Sounds like Luke is just about to crawl. So close!
I bet he will take off any day now! I can't believe how big he is! (Oh and the DQ here is pretty good. service could use some help but they are high schoolers ;))
Everyone told me Grace might be delayed in development because she was a preemie, but she crawled by 9 mo. and walked at 13 mo. Natalie, on the other hand, was full-term and didn't crawl until almost 11 mo. and didn't walk until 15 mo. So, he's definitely normal - maybe just a little stubborn. He'll be all over the place before you know it and then you'll be posting blogs about how to get him to stop! :-)
