11 months (for a few more hours)

Maybe it's denial, or just being busy but Lincoln's 11 month post is barely making it! Since he'll turn one tomorrow (technically not until 6:04pm) I figured it was due time to update the blog. Here's a photo timeline of Mr. Lincoln's month #11:
We took a quick trip down to Chattanooga to see 3 of his buddies, I hope these boys grow up being BFF's!
Lincoln 11 mths, Easton 7 mths, Parker 3 in Aug, Bryson 9 mths
We took him to the opening of the new splash pad in Mt Juliet (Ava's Splash Pad-such a heart touching story behind this awesome new addition to the Charlie Daniels Park):

He took his first steps 2 nights in a row, but has since decided he'd rather crawl:

With 3 adults, a variety of snacks and a few toys, Lincoln got his very first hair cut:


Even with all the warnings in the world it is still so hard to believe an entire year has passed in what seems like a blink of our eyes. We cannot wait to celebrate tomorrow! Good night!
(we really did take this almost a month ago just slow posting!) 
Wa-POW!!
Sasha survived a whole year!

Happy Summer!

Tennessee summer is officially here! We've enjoyed time at the lake and pool to cool off.
 
wrapping his head around the wonder of the water!
Dennis and I were so surprised to see Lincoln standing up in his crib when he woke up from his nap one afternoon back in June! In a few weeks time he learned to stand up and walk around while holding on to someone's hands, the couch, table etc. He still loves his walker, keyboard toys and balls. He plays with a toy set of golf clubs and balls  -be careful when he has the clubs though, he swings without looking where he may strike and has had a few accidental swings at us :) He really likes to throw balls that light up when they bounce around the house. Lincoln will crawl up to a book and push it around or grab it when he wants story time. We've memorized the book "Baby Loves to Rock" - seems to be his favorite! It's so cute when he kisses the animals on the pages. He's the sweetest little man, always giving kisses to his stuffed animals too. We celebrated our 3 nieces' birthdays last weekend and the bigger kids chased him around. Ever since he has the best time if we crawl around behind him saying "I'm going to get that baby!" His giggles are priceless! We all had a great 4th of July despite the downpour that overtook Middle TN for most of the week.
Sweet Lincoln has some rhythm! He moves back and forth when he gets a tasty bite of food, when he hears Dennis making sounds, he dances to the music from his toys too! His subtle dancing is always a crowd pleaser! He's in size 3 diapers, size 9-12 month clothes, has 4 teeth (2 on top and 2 on the bottom) and he weighs a little over 19 lbs. Oh and he now feeds himself bites of food! This helps keep him entertained when we are trying to eat at the same time :) Can't believe he's almost 11 months old.. then 1 year! My oh my :) We love him to pieces!!


TGIF - have a wonderful weekend!!
D, D and Lincoln
