Where to Begin??


































6 Months!
Can You believe how fast he's growing? 
He went from learning to sit (in the brown and gray stripes) to sitting pretty well (in the brown and blue stripes) to sitting all by himself 100% of the time (in the brown stripe pants) in just a short month and a half! 

Ok...I'm reverting to list format...
Things Lincoln loves:
  • Chewing on toys (b/c he just TODAY popped his 1st tooth!!)
  • Playing outside
  • Skooching backwards 
  • Attempting to stay up on hands and knees (but much to his dismay wanting to move forward results in moving backwards)
  • Playing DJ with his radio
  • Reading books ("Are You My Mother", "Goodnight Moon" and "Bubbles Bubbles" are his current favs)
  • Sitting and watching people talk
  • Eating bananas
  • Making new blah blah blah sounds
  • Throwing toys on the ground
  • Sitting near coffee table and pulling all his toys to the ground
  • Playing with anything that is NOT a toy especially if it is black and shiny or metallic of any kind 
  • Dive bombing out of our arms in the direction he would like to travel
  • Taking walks in newly facing forward stroller
  • Swinging
  • SLEEPING FOR UP TO 11 HOUR STRETCHES!!!!!!!
  • LETTING HIS PARENTS SLEEP!!!
  • Having a babysitter and not even knowing they are here (B/C HE IS SLEEPING THE WHOLE TIME!)
  • Traveling the country via car and plane to see all of our wonderful friends and family! 

OK there are millions of photos I'd like to post.... here are just a half million:
