Seven Months and Counting!

Lincoln is now seven months old and is following in his siblings' steps in starting to push hard to reach milestones.

One first we had with him this month is that he contracted bronchiolitis during the holidays leading to a five day regiment of breathing treatments. He's recovered quietly nicely now though and has moved on to bigger and better things.

Another difference between Lincoln and his brother and sister is that he never developed into a thumb sucker. Instead, he routinely turns to the crook of his elbow to suckle for comfort. Quite hygienic, this one.

When first introduced to baby foods slightly before six months, he was unimpressed, but he is now an expert eater, preferring avocado and sweet potatoes above all others.

He has also started babbling up a storm and shows every sign of copying his siblings by declaring Dada as his first word--against the express command and wishes of his mother.

His biggest passion though is trying to learn how to crawl. So far he's unsuccessful, but he does amazing push ups and boot scoots backwards better than Mater ever could. (We're still not quite sure how he got himself under the table like that though).

My guess is that he will be a crawler by eight months . . . Stay tuned :)
