Lately, one of the most common phrases heard through out the day around our home is "Lincoln, you are such a funny kid." He always goes through these weird little phases. Lately he mostly growls, in this deep guttural voice. We were in the passport office today, and he was making noise in his usual growl and I was getting the weirdest looks! I have nicknamed him my little bear because a) when he gets crabby he becomes like a bear and b) he makes these growling noises; like a bear.
He isn't walking but getting much sturdier on his feet. Probably in the next few months he will take those first steps. I try to bribe him with chips to take a step towards me, but as soon as he sees the chips he falls to his knees and scrabbles over. Stephen got him started on eating chips. Come to think of it, Stephen and my mom get him started on most of his bad eating habits! Lincoln knows who the weak one is and give him treats - not his mom!
We have been trying to teach him to say "puppy" and he is very interested. He always stops and stares intently as we say the word. And sometimes he even starts to mouth it, but no noise ever comes out.
I am starting to realize how impressionable he is, especially at this age. I am making a conscious decision to speak more politely and not treat him so much like a mindless baby, but how I would like him to act as a little boy. He still refuses to eat from a spoon, and feeding himself with a utensil feels like it is never going to happen.
For some bizarre reason he thinks you get down from the couch, or the bed, or the stairs by going head first. He has yet to have an accident, we have been very lucky by grabbing those skinny ankles at the last second!
He is going to be 1 in two weeks, where has the time gone? All I know is he is growing into such a funny kid.
YES!
