Two and a Half Months

Aside from getting more and more impossibly adorable EVERY SINGLE DAY, Lincoln has been busy developing his sweet personality and making us fall even more in love with him. Here’s what he’s been up to:

His Favorite Toy: The sun that attaches to the top of his activity mat. It changes color to the beat of the music it plays (over and over. and over.) and is apparently very fascinating. He also is quite partial to the horse (I think it’s a horse) on his crib mobile.

His Favorite Song: If you’re happy and you know it (clap your hands, stomp your feet, pat your head). He breaks into a huge smile when we do the motions. He IS happy and he knows it. He also really likes his Dad’s custom songs and my beat-boxing (occasionally paired together for extra awesomeness).

He’s still not laughing, but his grin is getting bigger and more expressive - I don’t think he’s going to be able to hold in the giggles for much longer.

He likes to talk. He makes the sweetest little baby babble and carries on conversations with us. Every once and a while he likes to hear himself yell.

He’s discovered his hands and really likes to make pinchers (index finger pressed against his thumb) and the ‘I got your nose’ gesture. Oh, and he’s also started chewing on his fingers. and drooling. A lot.

He enjoys bath time. He’s not really into splashing, but he lays still and gives sweet smiles when he’s in the tub.

He’s not sleeping through the night quite yet… he usually goes down around 9:30, gets up to eat around 3, then falls back asleep and then wakes up again at 6ish. He’s so cheerful and full of grins in the mornings that I’ve ALMOST been converted into a full-fledged morning person.

He’s on the move! He just started rolling from his back to his tummy. He arm still gets caught under him in the process so he just lays there and grunts, but he’s really working on getting all the way over (he’s been successful a few times!). We (Levi) actually caught his first REAL roll (with both arms out from under him) on video, but our camera ate the footage before we could post it (booo). We’ll try to get another shot of it soon.
