Lincoln X

First off I have to say how much we love Lincoln's name--really, how many kids are out there who have an X in their name?

Anyhow.

My Lincoln has such a fun-loving personality! He is so playful! One of his favorite things to do (besides eat and eat and eat) is to wrestle. Any time anyone lies on the ground he puts his head down and charges them. He attacks pillows left on the ground and gets a little twinkle in his eye when the other kids roll around. He doesn't like to be left out--from playing outside and wrestling to playing the piano and jabbering.

He has 3 teeth (one on top, two on bottom) and took a step all on his own last night. I have no doubt he'll soon be chasing the other kids all over the place. His growth has been similar to Elise & Sammy's--he was quite a chubby baby, but leveled out at about 6 months. Now he is on the small end of the growth chart.

He's fallen down the stairs twice, and now will just sit at the top and cry if he wants to go down--no more falls for him!! He only sleeps in his crib, which is nice, unless it is Sunday when church inevitably falls during nap time. He's mostly sleeping through the night, which makes life much more pleasant, and nurses 4-5 times every day.

His red hair is starting to get longer, but like with my other boys, I don't plan on cutting it any time soon. Throw in his blue eyes, dimples and mischievous grin and I've got one cute kid!!
