C&C Family: Lincoln: Seven Months

Lincoln is getting to be so fun. He has quite the personality. Everyone says, "is he just happy all the time?" and I have to say, "yes, he is." He really is always smiling and laughing. He is a pro at sitting up and hardly ever falls back. He has started intentionally falling forward and landing on hands and knees position. He can sit there on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. He really wants to be able to crawl but so far he just moves his knees a little and face plants. You gotta work those arms too, buddy. He loves to stand at the edge of a table or on the back of the bench at church. The only problem with that is he gets so excited he starts jumping and i am afraid he is going to hit his face!

We weighed him last week and he was 21 pounds so that's at least another pound and a half from last month. I really thought he would slow down a little but he just keeps growing like a weed. He is wearing all 12 month and up clothes. I have a bunch of fall/winter clothes that I though he would be wearing this fall but he definitely won't fit in them.

He loves to eat eggs. Scrambled eggs with a little milk to make them a little softer. He likes any of the Gerber Graduate things like the fruit or veggie puffs of the yogurt melts. He just wants big kid food and not so much baby food. Which is nice because I just pretty much feed him a little of whatever I am having. Yesterday he had some potato, some bread, and chewed on a celery stick, all from my plate. (maybe this will help me eat less too! awesome!) He loves to sit up in his high chair and be part of the group. He also eats quite a bit of Cup O Sno, which he loves.

He says GaGa, BaBa, DaDa, Ohh Ohh Ohh, and spits/raspberry in any way you can think off. Through his lips, with his tongue, on your arm, he thinks it's his best joke. And it is. He gets me laughing all the time. He also will raise his arms and make an H sound like hi whenever you wave and say hi to him. So I'd say that's learning to wave.

He is such a joy. We love him so much. He is just perfection.
