Lincoln - Eight Months

Eight months old and lots of updates.  Lincoln is rolling and army crawling all over the place!  He’s been scotching his bottom in the air a lot too but just can’t quite figure out how to move from that position yet.  He can also sit really well on his own now.

 He’s talking quite a bit now with lots of different sounds and loves to sing and bounce along to music.  He also loves clicking his tongue and blowing raspberries. 

Lincoln’s first tooth just broke through on Sunday.  He’s taken it pretty well so far and has just been chewing on everything. 

We have made some progress in the sleep department.  He’s sleeping in his room each night for at least half of the night.  He still cries every night when we put him in there but at least it’s only about 10-20 minutes vs. the 2 hours that we started with.  Our goal is to get him sleeping in his room the entire night soon and hopefully we’ll actually get him to sleep through the night at least once. 

He’s starting to enter that stranger anxiety phase and is a little apprehensive around new faces.  He’s also a big momma’s boy right now.  He will be playing contently with Ryan but if he sees me walk by then he’ll start fussing a little bit because he wants me to pick him up and play with him.  The other two went through this as well around this age but I’ll take the extra snuggles any day J.
