Almost time...

I am six months old...

...and so cute!!!

Well, it is almost vacation time. Ryan and I are going to Chicago in 9 days!! So excited. We are leaving Lincoln with Grandma and Grandpa Dempsey so we can fully enjoy it. It will be nice to have some alone time together too. We are going to have so much fun.

I was right in my last post, Lincoln did have two teeth coming in. I still don't think they are all the way in, but they are so cute. They are his two front, bottom teeth. He is eating all kinds of baby food. So far he hasn't had anything he doesn't like...but we haven't tried everything yet. I think he might even like the vegetables more than the fruit.

As you can see in this video, he is really close to crawling as well. He is pretty mobile. He is a good scooter. Now we have to really clean the floors and start babyproofing. Scary!

So last week we went and got a dishwasher. It had gotten to the point where I could just not keep up with the dishes (mostly because I am lazy). We were planning on just getting a small dishwasher...one of those half size ones, but it turned out they had a full size movable one that was less expensive. So we lucked out. Another step to a cleaner house.

Nothing New

So there hasn't been a whole lot going on to write about. A lot if the same old thing, so I didn't want to bore you.

Lincoln is now three months old and still growing like a weed.

He is becoming a little more independent each day, which is nice because I don't have to pay attention to him every minute. A couple weeks ago he actually reached out and grabbed some of his links, and then just the other day he managed to switch them from one hand to the other. He has been learning to play in his jumper. He loves it! He just started actually playing with stuff instead of just looking at it. It is so cute because he studies really hard and then will hit or move something. I know as he gets older he is going to love it more and more. He is still just a little too short. He can touch the ground, but he kind of leans to one side or the other, or forward.

Oh how I love him!!

He is generally a very happy boy! Unless he is tired or hungry.

The picture on the left is one of my favorites

Chillin' and hanging out with Grandma Dempsey

He loves eating his hands...sleeping with Dad

We just recently started feeding Lincoln cereal occasionally. He seems to really like it. I can't wait to feed him actual baby food. I think he is going to love it. Plus he will not speed through the formula so fast. He eats so much. He is definitely a growing boy. He has been doing a lot better with sleeping too, which is very helpful to my sanity. It was definitely beginning to wear on me. He sleeps through the night for the most part. So he is doing much better.

Next weekend we are going to Frankenmuth. We are so excited. He is going to see Santa, and get his picture taken with him with his cousin Jackson. Next year will be the good year though, when he can actually understand what is going on and can enjoy it.

I LOVE being a Mom!!!
