9 months in 1 week…

I was just looking at the calendar and realized that in just 7 short days my baby boy will be 3/4th of a year old!  I could cry!  I just want to hold on to every single little second of his babyhood and savor it for all it’s worth.

Just today, he decided that he doesn’t want me to feed him with a spoon anymore.  He has come pretty close to mastering the pincher grasp and is about 95% when it comes to getting food from his tray to his mouth via his little chubby hands.  I have a feeling getting him to give up nursing won’t be that simple though.  This boy loves his one-on-one mommy time.  Trust me, I’m loving it just as much!

But, put him on the floor on his belly where he can’t reach something and he’s all about his mommy.  He has no patience, really, when it comes to learning how to crawl.  He would rather fuss for half a second and get picked up.  I guess that what happens when you’re the baby around here…and rotten, as his daddy would say.

I can't believe Luke is 9 months old! Time goes by way to fast. I'm having a hard time with that with Derrick too. I cried all of April because he was turning one...sad, yes, but those chubby legs and two-toothed grins are just too precious for words! I'm hoping little boys always need their mamas (sort of, ha!). :)

He is just so adorable!!! I love to look at his long, beautiful eye lashes!! :) His two little teeth shining through are just precious! What a sweet, happy baby he is. I know...it is just so sad how fast our babies are growing up. I wish we could freeze time right now!!

I, too, wish our babies would stay babies for longer... time just simply goes by too fast! Luke is absolutely PRECIOUS and looks to be just about the happiest baby EVER! Your new camera is really showing off his adorable-ness!

9 months already?!?!? It flies for sure. What a blessing he is. That toothy grin just about does me in. He is so precious. I, personally, love that he has no "patience" for learning how to crawl.. I've had 2 just like that, and I wouldn't change it one bit! Carry him as long as he'll let you! :)

Beautiful!! Girl, there are so many days I just try to take a snap shot in my mind and just hold on to it.(even when they are older) There is so much joy in life if we just open our eyes to all the beautiful blessings.
