Since we've moved into the new house, he has had much exploring to do. He loves to stand at the bathroom sink on the stool (Anytime he can catch the door open, he dashes in there as quick as he can.) and look at himself in the mirror and try to figure out how to get that stuff to come out of the soap dispenser. I'm waiting on the day I go in there to find soap everywhere! He loves to go into his daddy's office (which is still a mess because we haven't painted it yet) and get into the paint stuff and anything he can find on the desk. He loves to go into our bathroom and get in the drawers and put the toilet lid down. This is fun to him. He loves to go into Hannah's room and get into her doll house stuff or get one of her baby dolls--you know, anything he can do to annoy her. He loves to come into the kitchen and try to yank all of the bottom cabinet doors open so that I'll tell him to stop banging on them (They have those things screwed in already to keep kids out, so when he tries to open them, he can't really do it but he tries over and over again.) But his all time favorite thing to do is to get up on the kitchen table chairs and get into whatever is on the table and just look up at me with those big brown puppy dog eyes and little mischievous grin because he knows I'm going to tell him to get down and he'd better be careful. What a BOY!
We are having some trouble at night lately with him sleeping. I'm not sure what is going on. I've wondered if he is scared maybe due to being in a new place. He wakes up several times a night just screaming sometimes. Most of the times, he's lost his pacy and as soon as I give it back, he's fine. He'll usually go back to sleep okay but sometimes will just scream until I pick him up. He wraps his arms tightly around my neck like he's not going to let go. So pitiful! I'm hoping this is just a phase and he'll be out of it soon. If not, he's going to have to cry it out I guess or find his pacy himself. Momma is getting tired of having to get up so often!
He is VERY attached to his pacy these days. He wants it alot. He thinks he must have it in the car and throws a little fit when he doesn't have it. He does the cutest thing with his pacy--he lifts up the handle and sits it under his nose. So many people have made comments about how funny it is that he does this. If you push it down, he'll put it right back up there. It's like he thinks that's where it belongs.
Just for the record (baby book), he got his bottom left eye tooth this month. He is hopefully good to go on the teething for a while.
Also, just for the record, he's saying a few more new words like "all gone," "night night," "french fry," "done," and "down". He is not very clear in his speech, so sometimes it is hard to tell what he is saying. He says alot of one syllable words. He tries to say alot, but can't seem to make certain sounds. He communicates with me pretty well. I usually have no problem figuring out what he wants. I'll ask him a question and he'll kind of grunt and try to repeat me. I can tell he understands a lot because I'll ask him to go get something or do something and he is pretty good about knowing what to do.
Some of Lincoln's favorite foods right now are strawberries, grapes, dill pickles, chips, french fries, and corn on the cob! Here he is while we were moving in loving him some corn on the cob.
He has been giving me "real" kisses lately on the lips. He even makes the kissing sound. I love this! His smile and laugh just make me melt! I love to see him and Hannah laughing and playing together.These pictures are from today. Jack and Benson came over to swim. They really enjoyed their popsicles!
Jack was eyeing Linc's popsicle. He finished his before Lincoln did, and he looked over at Lincoln's and rubbed his belly to say "please". He wanted some more! It was so cute! 
I love that Lincoln has so many little friends that are close to his age. He really seems to enjoy being around them!
