Our Ten Month Old!


Lincoln is now officially ten months old, which means the birthday party countdown has begun. We took Lincoln in for his checkup (technically, supposed to be a nine month checkup but our vacation set us back a month) and he measures 31 inches long and 23lbs 11oz. I felt like this was an ok size until the doctor read his chart and literally laughed out loud. I didn't know if I should laugh along with him or be extremely offended. So, now for the monthly breakdown of Lincoln's new tricks:

In the past month, Lincoln has...
- learned how to say Da Da, although it is very rarely directed at Nathan
- begun to walk, sort of- he is now up to four steps
- begun letting us know when he wants something (usually food) with little grunts
- learned how to wave bye bye
- taken a liking to feeding himself
- started sleeping like the books said he would (4 hours of naps and 11 hours at night- yes!!)
- traveled to four time zones in 48 hours (Ohio-Illinois-Denver-Cali)
- discovered that he loves to eat sand but isn't so sure about the ocean (thanks Aunt Marcia and fam for letting him have the experience)

So our little boy continues to grow. Mark your calendars for Saturday September 27th, we are planning a rockin 1st Birthday party for our favorite little party animal!

Okay, so that really is funny because alexis is almost 2 and is like 24, 25 pounds!! That's awesome, I love chubby babies, they are just so much fun. I can't believe he is already 10 months!!! It goes by too fast, it's so sad. He's so cute, I still can't really tell who he looks like though.

He looks so cute and grown up. Time goes by quickly. I can't wait for Lindsey to start talking, well more than just the 4 month baby talk.

I cannot believe he is almost one! It is so amazing how fast they grow. Lincoln is sure a handsome guy! Please give him lots of hugs and kisses from his aunt and cousins!
