6 Months Old

Well Lincoln hit the 6 month mark right before Thanksgiving, but I was waiting for his Dr. appointment to update everyone a little. Stats first

height 26.25 inches - 50 %

weight 16lbs 3 oz - 25%

head 45 cm - 75%

He has leaned out a little but the doctor says he is doing fabulous. I've taken this from another blog and thought it was a cute idea.

He loves to grab the spoon when I'm trying to feed him - quite frustrating at times especially when he spits at me. But it's so cute.

Love, love, love this little Linc.

Dear Lincoln,

You are 6 months old. I can't believe you have grown and changed so much in such a little amount of time. However, it almost seems as if I can't remember a time without you in my life. You are such a darling, I love when you smile. Your dad and I will do pretty much anything to see that little mouth turn up at the ends. We also love your laugh. It makes us happy. You are a little bit of a stinker though. You don't behave very well at your Auntie Megan's house, though if I get right down to it I think I might even like that. I hope it just means that you miss me. You always get a huge grin on your face when I walk in the door after work. I hate being away from you for those few hours, but I cherish all the other time we get to spend together. You also know exactly what to do to make dad or mom run. As soon as you are ready to be held, you just look at us and give the ol' pouty face. Works every time. You are getting to be a fantastic sleeper - I couldn't say that a few weeks ago. You go to sleep about 7:30 and wake up at 7:30 with one night time feeding about 5ish. I must say it has been great. You aren't much of a napper though - sometimes you can go the whole day with only half an hour. I love taking naps with you, but I'm trying to quit because I don't want it to have a lasting effect on you. Lately you have begun to love food. When I tried it before you just spit it out and made a gagging sound. Now you look forward to it. You love to eat your socks. They are your favorite toy. As soon as I put them on, you are trying to yank them off to suck on them. You talk so much now (guh, guh - digee - buh, buh - mmmmmmm - dah, dah are the things I hear the most.) It is so cute, Linc. You are almost ready to crawl. You get up on your little hands and knees and you just rock back and forth. I don't think you have it figured out that you need to move your arms. You can push yourself backward though. You also roll all over the place. Seeming to get from one end of the room to the other in just a few seconds. Especially when I run to get something and you are too close to the Christmas tree. But I love your spunk and I hope that you always have fun being a boy. I will love you forever and I will always remember your sweet smiling face, you are my baby and I love you.

Mommy
