We're almost to a year already! Although Lincoln hasn't been officially weighed, I think he finally broke 19 lbs. on our bathroom scale at home. He continues to crawl and cruise with ease and will balance for a few seconds on his feet until he realizes what he's doing or gets distracted.
The two big "tricks" Lincoln learned this month are shaking his head "No" (even though it doesn't necessarily mean "no") and clapping his hands. It took a lot of snapshots to try to get a picture of him without his hands clapping in front of his face. I liked this one best anyway. :o)
Another thing Lincoln has discovered is wheels. He is fascinated by anything with wheels. He likes to push a car/truck/train back and forth. He likes tipping over Emily's baby doll stroller and spinning the double wheels. He also loves the Cozy Coupe and can now just barely reach the ground enough to be able to push himself backwards.
In the eating department Lincoln loves any kind of fruit. He also seems to recognize if you have something that he doesn't and lets you know if he wants it! This is especially true with strawberries. I confess to going against all medical advice and feeding my less-than-one-year-old strawberries. Not only that, but Lincoln is drinking whole milk at both lunch & dinner. I quickly cut back to only a morning nursing at the beginning of the month after a couple biting incidents. Lincoln never blinked about drinking milk from a sippy cup or about dropping those feedings. I don't think it will be much problem at all weaning him completely sometime in the next few weeks.
One thing I have really enjoyed and cherished with Lincoln over the past month is cuddling before putting him down to sleep. Emily never sat still or close for more than 2 seconds, so I never knew what "cuddling" was until Lincoln came along. While Emily preferred 2-3 books, Lincoln often prefers just a cuddle and a song as part of the bedtime routine. And that's just fine with me. :o)
And just for fun, here are the 11-month-old pictures from Emily & Lincoln. Lincoln needs a little sun. ;o)
