Uh, Gosh. I know. It's been two months! I told myself that i'd be so good on keeping this blog up, since it's really the only way i'm tracking baby's progress. I should journal more, I guess. But who knows! I'd probably neglect that, too. So better to neglect one form of writing rather than two. I just know i'll be kicking myself when he's five years old and I can't remember what his first word was... SO, this is what we've been up to.
Lincoln is 6 months and 3 weeks old now. He'll be 7 months old on October 11th. tell. me. where. the. time. has. gone. please. Holy cow, I can't even believe how big he's getting. Right now Lincoln:
- is 17 lbs 15 ounces
- in the 50th percentile for height and weight- my little average guy.
- Loves new faces and places. But mostly new faces.
- Is rollin' all over the place.
- Sits up on his own.
- Will TAKE STEPS when I stand him up. My Mom keeps telling me to quit letting him do that. But it's so fun to see him progress!
- Can stand up on his own when he's leaning against something.
- Is ticklish!
- Eats about 7-8 ounces per feeding.
- Eats cereal like it's the only thing he's eaten in days.
- Hates green beans.
- Doesn't love peas.
- Or carrots.
- I'd better work on that.
- Is getting to know his name.
- Wears 6-9 month clothes.
- Wears size 3 diapers.
- Sleeps in his OWN crib- success!
- Loves to watch Curious George. I'm not kidding. Here is some evidence:
See that focus? For some reason it makes sense to hold your arms out from your body when you're feeling intense about something. Don't worry. We limit his Curious George time. But, man. It's nice to have that in case I need him stay in one spot for a little bit.
This kid is going places. At least when he's not watching Curious George.
He's a good boy. Just the happiest little guy you ever did see. Most the time. Sometimes he's not that. For some reason from about 6-8ish Lincoln decides he's bored. So we go on a walk after dinner almost every evening. Sometimes it's what keeps us both sane! Lincoln loves it, he doesn't make a peep the whole time. Sometimes he even falls asleep.
MAN i'm gonna miss this. It's getting colder. Soon we won't be able to do this anymore. So, i'm gonna have to get creative to keep this little guy entertained before dad gets home in the evening. I'll also miss these beautiful views: (don't mind the bad quality, taken by my oh-so fancy phone)
At the beginning of September Lorne and I had to chance to go to Virginia to see Lorne's mission. It was beautiful! We left baby behind, and that was both hard and weird. It was weird to be able to leave and go do what we wanted at any moments notice. I'll hopefully expound on our trip later so I can remember it. There were some fun/ humbling experiences.
So, stuff is good. We look forward to conference to get some answers we're seeking about our future. But also conference is just good. I love it.
Until next time!
