Lincoln is 21 months!


Another month down. It seems like I just did the 20 month post. Time is flying by. Here are a few things happening with Lincoln right now:

**Lincoln has developed a slight fear of men--some men. Certain men scare him. He starts crying and trying to get as far away from them as he can or hug up to me as close as he can. He'll hide his face. I guess it is just a little phase he's going through, but it is really sad sometimes!

**Still seems to like going to Bible class and is easily dropped off when I go to bible studies and things. I know this could change at any moment, so I'm enjoying it right now.

**Is really into picking on his sister right now--yes, even at this age it is already starting! Although sometimes they are really sweet together. Here Hannah found his monkey harness, put it on him (backwards), and was leading him around the house. Amazingly, he let her.

I found them like this the other day.

**Absolute favorite word is "NO". He says it all the time! Hannah is always telling us, "He's saying no all the time." We tell her, "Hannah, guess what??? You used to do the same thing." Again, I think this is another phase he is going through. Hopefully, we'll get through it soon. I just wish Hannah wouldn't call so much attention to it. I try to tell her to ignore it, but it isn't working so far. He'll say it more when he knows it is bothering her. Little booger!

**Lincoln is sleeping well these days! Yippee! Goes to bed around 8:00 p.m. and usually wakes up between 6:15 and 7:00 a.m.

**Is throwing little fits occasionally when something doesn't go his way. Wonder where he gets this from??? He is not as bad as his sister though and can usually pretty easily be redirected to something else.

**Still learning new words all the time. We are really working on saying "please" and "thank you." We are kind of starting to work on learning his colors. He tries to figure out what color something is and will point and say, "wel whoa" for yellow or "red" or "pa pul" or "boo". Isn't getting it quite right yet, but we are trying. We are also working on counting to three.

**Likes to try to sing. He gets tickled at himself though and starts laughing.
Here are just some pictures taken lately.
