Lincoln is 19 months!


I'm always a week late on these posts, but I want to get it in here so we can remember what Lincoln has been up to this month.

**The biggest thing this month was that we successfully got rid of his pacy--due to doctor's orders. He has done so awesome! I was truly surprised at this. He doesn't even miss it!

**He can point and tell us who he is (dink dink or something like that), Hannah is, Momma is, and Dadda is when we ask him. He is very proud of himself when he does this. He also can say Jack and Benson (Ba Ba). So cute! He gets excited when we say that Jack or Benson is coming over.

**He has really started liking Sesame Street and Curious George. He will actually sit and watch them and laughs.

**Yesterday we were out in the garage cleaning and I could tell he was going to the bathroom. He looked over at me while doing it and said, "Poo Poo" and pulled at his pants. He'll wave his hand in the air and say, "Shooooweee."

**His bedtime routine is a little different these days. He has decided he doesn't want to sit around and be rocked and sung to anymore. Makes mommy kind of sad. He just reaches for his bed and says, "bed." So, I just put him down and usually he'll go right to sleep.

**It is not unusual for Lincoln to wake up several times during the night and cry out. Sometimes I just try to let him cry it out a little, but others he'll get quite worked up and so I have to go in and pat him for a minute. I think that his eczsema is bothering him at night. I am trying to make it better. I'm not sure what's causing it though.

**When he gets really sleepy, especially in the car, he'll get this glassy stare going on. It's like he's asleep with his eyes open.

**Lincoln is mostly down to 1 nap a day around 1:30. Usually it will only last about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

**Still a climber. Will climb on anything that he can. Lately he is into ladders.

**Likes to get into his daddy's tools. Maybe he's going to take after his daddy and be a handy man one day.

**Gets lots of boo boos. Likes to point at them, make a sad face, and says "boo boo." Seems like he constantly has a bruise or bump on his forehead--seriously, look at the one in the picture above!

He is quite the boy--okay, except for those moments when he likes to push Hannah's baby dolls in their strollers. I did catch him throwing one of her little babies in the trash today though. He is so much fun and so much work at the same time!
