Lincoln is 20 months and counting! I'm not sure if he has any more teeth because it's getting harder to look, but he seems to be ever so slightly decreasing the drool. He usually only soaks one bib per day. Maybe it's because we let the rest get absorbed by fleece and sweatshirts. :o)
Lincoln has added several new words in the past month, which makes me feel better. The clearest ones are "coo-kie" and "cah" (car). He also does a funny "hah" (hot) and "co-oh" (cold).
Another new skill he has acquired this month is blowing his nose, although he really hasn't had a runny nose lately. He can do it better than Emily at age 4+. He also likes to walk on his tip-toes and try to jump. He has made a lot of progress with the jumping over the course of the month and actually slightly leaves the ground once in awhile, which sort of surprises him when it happens! He has also started experimenting with chucking various objects--especially his sippy cup. I blame it on the influence of his cousin, Ryan. ;o)
I'm sure most kids go through this phase, but Lincoln is really into drinking bathwater lately. He has moved beyond just sucking on washcloths and takes full gulps from whatever object he can get ahold of that holds any amount of water. Blech! :op
One thing I have really noticed this month is the way Lincoln has started to copy everything Emily does. He wants to do all the "tricks" she does on the Little Tikes climbing slide downstairs. He wants to color like her and does his best making chicken scratchings with crayons and pencils. Just this afternoon Emily was throwing a tantrum about something or other and kicking her feet up and down while sprawled out on the floor in timeout. So he came into the kitchen, laid down and started crying and kicking his feet up and down, too. Have mercy!
