15 Months And Counting...

It has been 15 months since our little joy came into this world. And what an adventure these past 15 months have been. Lincoln, you are changing and developing so quickly. It feels like just yesterday we were wondering when you were going to take that first step and now here you are running around like such a big boy.

Since the time flys so quickly and I am even having a hard time remembering what you were doing just a few months again, I'm going to take a few minutes to point out a few things your doing at this exciting stage....



Play-time

Lincoln has a few new favorite activities: Taking after your Pops & Auntie J, you've developed a new interest in cars.. everytime we are outside you want to get in my car. You play with the stearing wheel, the blinkers, wipers, everything you can get your hands on.




When at Nana & Pop's house you go straight to your favorite place... the garage ( are we seeing a trend here? ;)), but it's not the car in the garage that you love, but instead the tractor. You're quick to climb right up on there and if you're lucky Nana or Pops will give you a ride around the yard.


You also love books, climbing on everything, emptying and refilling things, like mommy's purse, a bucket with rocks etc. And of course you love your cartoons.. some favorites are Mickey's Club House, Special Agent Oso, Elmo.


And you just starting giving "high- fives", dancing and clapping a lot. And every once an awhile we'll get a hug and kiss ( although the kiss is more of a little head pump)





Yuuummm

Favorite foods... Corn on the cob, fruit, chicken nuggets, gold fish crackers, nurti-grain bars, yogurt. And you still love your milk ( down to 3 bottles a day, breakfast, lunch, bedtime)



schedule : breakfast is fruit and 6 oz bottle of milk, then snack with Ms Yvonne around 9:30 usually pancake or nutri-grain bar. Lunch can vary and then usually a 3-4 oz bottle, then snack around 3... dinner is 2 chicken nuggets and some veggies and fruit then 8 oz bottle before bed.


Chit-Chat

You are still working on that secret little language of yours. It sounds like a combinatoin of Russian & German.. and more recently we sense a hint of mandarin.

You do consistantly speak phrases such as "i like" and I think "Dad" is your offical 1st word. We hear some mom and muuumm but said is definetly the more consistant. And although we're not fully admitting to it, we may hear a "oh shit" here and there. Not sure where you got that from :P.


Bed-time

You have quite a nice bedtime routine going on. After getting all comfy in our pj's ( around 7 pm)I'll read a couple books to you while you lay in my lap and drink your bottle. Then you so easily go down... you love your bed. And most nights you will stay up for a good 20-30 minutes chatting away to yourself.
