Lincoln - 67% of the way to 1!

Lincoln is 8 months old today!  It's hard to believe, but that's what the calendar says.  

Lincoln is:

vocal!  he has quite the jabber box on him.  when he's in the mood he likes to talk talk talk (and not quietly either!).

happy happy happy!  except for when he's not, of course.  but he's generally cheerful with big toothless grins for whomever says hi to him.

a joy to have around.  who knows if he's thrilled to be the 4th child, but he is a great 4th addition to the home!  his siblings think he is great, and he returns the love.

a voracious (and open to new foods) eater!  if you're holding him and eating at the same time he'll either a) reach out to try and grab your food right out of your hand, or b) lean forward with his mouth open, fully expecting and hoping that you'll send the next spoonful his way!  the only food so far he's been so uninspired by that he couldn't take more than a few bites?  carrots!  foods on the yum list?  everything else! the more exotic likes include chicken coconut curry and lime sorbet.

close to walking!  well, we think so.  he could surprise us all and take months to "get" there.  he has the balance but doesn't trust himself yet!  he's always running the chairs around the kitchen, using them as walkers.  he can cruise along the furniture with ease.  and he can crawl FAST!  definitely faster than Great-Grandma can walk... :)

last, and obviously, he is cute cute cute!  love those squishy cheeks and the hair that's starting to show some body and personality.

Can't wait to see how our little guy develops in the next few months on the road to 1!
