9 months

Lincoln has grown so much in the past month. It is starting to hit me how grown up he is becoming. Here are his stats for 9 months
* 17.15lbs...5th percentile
* 25.5 inches...below 5th percentile (he SHRUNK an ENTIRE inch!!!)
* No longer the "baby"...Gio is here and Lincoln LOVES him!
* Crawls soooo fast and soooo much
* Pulls himself on everything
* SCREAMS!!! (can we say vocal cords?!?)
* squirms outta your arms so he can be independent and cruise around
* his hair is turning soooo blonde
* Mommy's little "helper" ( at least he thinks he is being helpful)
* Loves crawling under EVERYTHING...the only probably is that he cannot seem to find his way out
* LOVES other babies
* crawls in the bathtub
* TOTAL mommy's boy
* Top 2 teeth broke through so he now has FOUR teeth!!!
* OBSESSED with eating/chewing on EVERYTHING (notice how he is chewing on his month sign in almost every month picture?!?)
* We lowered his bed because now he stands up in it and throws his binky over and then cries because he has no binky
* FINALLY can feed himself...PUFFS! HAHA...the whole concept of grabbing and making it to the mouth was a hard concept for him
* LOVES car rides
* Went camping...LOVED the dirt
* LOVES water...especially Papi and G'ma Lynda's pool
**I can already tell he is going to be our outdoorsmen baby...he loves anything and everything pertaining to be being outside. I keep telling Shaun I think he is going to be a professional swimmer...I mean seriously what other baby do you know that LOVES to be dunked in the water and kicks for days to move all around in the pool?!? haha

8 months

So I am a bit behind in my monthly posts regarding Lincoln. The only reason I do this every month is that when he turns 1, I can make a photo book of him and have a picture on one page with his new and interesting info on the other! So for now, let us back step for a moment and go back to when he was 8 months old! Here are some things regarding Lincoln...
* 16lbs 11 oz...5th percentile
* 26.5 inches...10th percentile
* CRAWLING!!!
* CLEARLY is calling me "mum" and dad "da" (usually while hitting one of us lol)
* LOVES to talk to himself in the mirror
* First haircut given to Lincoln by Aly
* LOVES fishing...probably just the whole being outside dealio
* Went to Santa Cruz...he loved riding on the rides (Going to Disneyland in September is going to be easy cheesy with him
* sleeps for about 11 hrs each night with 2 2 hr naps during the day
* Enjoys running into the sliding glass door over and over again
* Cries at the door to go outside
* Second ear infection (those were some LONG nights)
* Still needs help with the whole pooping issue
* Lincoln is still our little love bug and is turning into a total mommy's boy! I love watching him grow and develop each day!!!
