15 months old


Lincoln is 15 months old today!  This month's drool has been dedicated to the second top tooth (fourth overall).  It is pretty much through but still not in far enough to be useful.  At the rate we're going Lincoln may possibly have a full set of teeth by age 4.  The chair picture this month is a perfect image of our 3.5-toothed drooly monster. :o)

Lincoln was super excited when I hauled the little rocking chair down from the attic.  He views any chair as a new climbing challenge.  He can now scale kitchen chairs and has made it on top of the table once.  Emily does not have many "safe" places left for her things.

Despite only having a few teeth, Lincoln continues to be a relatively good eater.  He loves absolutely any kind of fruit.  He continues to practice trying to eat with silverware out of bowls or divided plates, but usually resorts to fistfuls after awhile.

Another indoor activity Lincoln loves is collecting random things and pushing them around in Emily's baby doll stroller.  This particular assortment consists of his water cup, a mixer beater, an empty almond flavoring bottle, a plastic pear and a stuffed kitten from a Happy Meal.

Lincoln can be quite an animated talker, but still really doesn't have any words.  He sometimes says "mum-mum" or "da-da" but not on a consistent basis.  He is also still teetering between being a one-napper and two-napper.  You honestly never know what you're going to get when you wake up in the morning, which makes planning anything a bit difficult.  I hope he makes the full transition soon because I'm counting on having some quiet afternoons when Emily starts preschool!
