I haven't posted one of these in quite sometime. When Lincoln first started talking, every word was new and a triumph. At this point, I couldn't begin to imagine that he would know some of the words that he knows and some of the things he comes up with blow my mind. Here are just a few of the things we can check off his list. I wish I could take credit for all this, but Lincoln is just a little sponge. He usually shows us he knows something new before we even think to ask.
Knows all his colors, including the crazy ones like silver, peach, and gray.
Knows all his shapes, including crazy ones like oval, octagon, diamond.
He has known all his letters since the summer, but he also knows the sounds letters make.
Every time we drive by the QT gas station Lincoln says "Q says
quah and T says
tuh".
He's been counting to 20 for quite sometime. The other day he counted to 50. If he gets going too fast, he skips a few, but he
definitely gets the concept of counting.
We'll continue to work on opposites, which thing doesn't belong, and answering "who, what why when and where" questions while we are reading. He's not a huge fan of singing, I wish he would sing. He is like his Daddy in this respect, he likes listening. So we'll continue to work on singing.
Looking forward to what 2010 will bring.
Last week Lincoln slammed head first into our wooden coffee table. After a long debate, we headed to Acute Kids. They glued him up with Dermabond and sent us on our way. Luckily his hair covers it up because I'm pretty sure he's going to have some sort of scar. This is a picture after the accident, but before our trip to acute kids.
Lincoln has been struggling with his naps lately. He went from sleeping 830pm to 7ish am and taking a 3 hour nap everyday, usually between 1-4 to wanting no nap at all. I don't like him to go to bed too early, otherwise he would only see Ryan an hour a day. It had been working so well for months. He has been laying in his crib talking to himself. He doesn't cry or misbehave, so we've been using it as a 60-90 min rest time. I'm not ready to give up a nap quite yet, so we're working on it. Today was a good day. He fell asleep holding his night night and baby blue. He didn't even fuss when they fell. I love this picture.

Lincoln with all his loot. He got some awesome things. A talking gorilla, the tent and some cutable wooden fruit were among the big hits!
The 8 of us. These posed shots are a family tradition! Glad to have Brian in this one!
