Jack-Jack's first step-step

It has been a long time coming, but Jackson took his first step tonight! It was a complete step followed by a full body collapse, amazing non the less! He is 14 1/2 months, which is super late for taking steps, standing, walking, all that fun stuff, but we don't mind the least bit. He is just starting to stand (where as his cute little friend Gabby (10mos) has been standing for quite some time!). Lincoln was similar, start walking at 15 months, but within his 3rd time trying he was walking 15 or more steps, so I am sure Jack will be the similar. Jack has also started nodding yes. It really helps in trying to communicate with him, as he doesn't say any words. So knowing he can give me a legit answer with the bobble of his head is awesome. He is still really cuddly and such a momma's boy. He loves to give little hugs, and regularly gives me 2 little pats on my back when I scoop him up out of his crib. He has started to love ice cream, and loudly protests anytime we get ice cream cones and do not hand him his very own. Jack also started climbing up our slide we have in our basement, something that Lincoln just learned to do this year. Jack has a real musical bone in him - he loves music and always bops away and thrashes his hands around to the radio. His favorite toys are our piano table, play guitar and play microphone. He adores them!

Lincoln is doing really well with potty training (finally!). If we are home he is fully trained, even though he gets distracted when playing outside and still has troubles making the dash to the potty! His vocabulary is expanding all the time, forming full sentences! "What are you doing there, daddy?" He just said as he hopped onto the couch to check out what Stephen is playing on the iphone. He has a Dinosaur floor puzzle that he loves and can do all by himself. He doesn't really take interest in counting, or learning how to spell his name, but we still try and pound it into him! He recently has been introduced to 'bad guys' by his cousins ezra and francesca. So now he likes to find his nerf gun and 'kill the bad guys!" so cute. Since Stephen has been doing paintball, fixing guns has become a regular occurance at our house. Well Lincoln loves gun fixing night, and has claimed the largest paintball gun as his own, and insists on sleeping with it. His latest obsession is race cars! He loves pointing out race cars as we drive "OH! MOM! RACE CAR!" (as the red cavalier drives past!) and he loves buying race cars "IDEA! Go superstore, buy race car! YEA!" and he loves playing race cars! We are taking Linc to Cars 2 this summer for his first move at the theatre! Lincoln also loves playing soccer in the backyard. He places the ball about 8 feet from the net. Stands up, claps his hands. Kicks the ball into the net. Runs, and kicks it, while in the net, so it hits the back of the net. Throws is hands in the air, commences running while yelling "SCORE!" Ah, priceless!
The boys are awesome, and we are loving watching them grow!
