Lincoln - 7 months

It’s funny because the first thing I usually do around the monthly  mark is look back in the blog to see what the other boys were doing around this age and I noticed two things this time around.  One – Lincoln is starting to look a lot like Gavin just not quite as chunky and with a little less hair.   The poor kid looks like he is also going to have some crazy cowlicks like his brother.  Two – I could have pretty much copied and pasted Wyatt’s update as Lincoln is doing almost all of the same things!

He is a busy little boy and when he’s on the floor he is rolling all over the place going after everything.  He’s even starting to push his bottom up in the air.  He’s working on sitting on his own and can do it for short periods of time now but loves to be held in a standing position so he can jump and bounce on his feet while being held and being carried around chasing after his brothers.  He's not saying any words yet but loves to make lots of sounds and lately does his form of yelling loudly right before he falls asleep.  I guess it's his way of getting his last words in before he crashes.  It's too funny.

We took the baby piece out of his bathtub this month now that he’s getting better at sitting and he loves being able to kick his legs in the water and splash around.  He has also loved every baby food he’s tried.  Hopefully this will keep up and he’ll be a good eater like his brothers. 

Sleeping has improved but he’s still not sleeping in his room yet and is still eating throughout the nice so we’re going to work on trying to wean him off that and move him into his own bed. 

He loves his jumparoo and his feet can now touch the bottom so he’ll bounce on his own or rotate around and explore all of the toys.  He also really enjoys being outside and going on walks much more than before.  We ventured to the park one night a few weeks ago and he liked being carried around in the baby Bjorn and we even went down a few slides. 

He is such a happy little guys with lots of smiles and such sweet dimples.  We just love him to pieces and look forward to all that next month will bring although sometimes I do wish we could just keep him at this sweet age forever J.
