9 months



Little Lukie (as we call him sometimes) is 9 months old today. He is just the sweetest little guy and he brings us so much joy. He loves to be standing up and can pull himself up to just about anything he can reach. The other day I was standing in the kitchen and he pulled up on my legs. He's cruising around the furniture and we have seen him let go and stand for a few seconds by himself! Mike recently saw him standing and turned himself around before falling. I have a feeling walking is in the near future. It's hard to believe because Grant wasn't doing these things until way after he was 1, and didn't walk until he was 14 months. Grant is enjoying Luke more and more now that they can (sort of) play together. Grant just likes putting stuff on his head and laughing at him. Grant has his own little nick name for him... Nukie, Nukie. I know this came from us calling him Lukie Lukie. Sometimes Grant just calls him "Nuke." Luke loves to eat just about every baby food out there. It's rare that he'll turn something down. Grant was the same way. He is so good about napping during the day and is ready for bed about 7:30 and sleeps until about 7 in the morning. I'm so thankful!

I had to add this cute one of Grant..

They're so cute Amber! I love hearing about their interactions-I can't wait for Maggie to be able to "play" with Will. Be safe with this storm coming through-it looked like it was going right through Corpus last time I saw the weather! Take care-Summer

Hilarious about the Nuke thing. We have a nephew named Luke and when he was born our other nephew called him "baby Nuke" which we all began calling him as well. Just so you know Luke is two now and we no longer call him baby Nuke...but it sure is cute! Hope you are safe from all of these hurricanes! how scarey.

Your boys have THE most beautiful eyes! If you and Mike could bottle your DNA and sell those eye genes, you'd make millions!!!
