My big boy!

Lincoln is learning so much it blows my mind!

He has been sleeping in his own crib, own room for almost a week now! Tonight with no crying even, at the initial lay down. he woke once to eat, and I did oblige him. Funny story... while feeding him in the dark, I kept hearing thumping! It sounded like it was coming from a box in the closet. so I speed walk out of lincs room and ask kalob to go check it out. He takes a gander and says "oh there are 2 mice in here!!!" And I start freaking out, my hands are over my mouth and tears in my eyes! " he can't sleep in here!!!" and then kalob smiles, just kidding. what a brat!
Lincoln also got a high chair finally. we initially got a bumbo cuz everyone raved about how space saving it is and easily moveable. and it was! but I think once the babe can sit unassisted, they just want to squirm out of it, which in turn, easily fall from. we also have no dining room table or chairs in our apt so that makes it difficult to get an eating example going for the kid. Linc maybe wasn't getting the concept until now. feeding himself though!, he's up for that! the bigger the mess the better.
he liked holding the spoon in one hand and trying to get the food in his mouth with the other. he has been so eager and advanced in most other areas, we've wondered what's his deal about eating solids.
His first experience was rice and broccoli. I have no idea if he actually got much in his mouth or not. but he enjoyed trying. Which is what we needed, cuz it's been a struggle. He's pretty stubborn and we just need to let him figure it out. It might mean he just plays in it and licks his fingers. He loved all the praise he got, everytime he ate off the spoon. What a big boy!!
He likes nutrigrain bars, apple sauce, wheat bread, noodles, beans, lil tastes of meat and cheeses. Puffs and yogurt melts too. Milk is definitely still his most favorite though.
He likes technology already. he's figuring out the iPhone every chance he gets. he knows you're supposed to swipe with one finger. he can push the Siri button. And then she says " I didn't get that " and he gets a kick out of it talking.
He loves to pull all the bowls out of the bar and play. we pick them up about 4 times a day.
I forgot to mention his stats before. his head is 98%ile. His weight is 72%ile and 54%ile for height. he's got a giant brain!
he ate snow for the first time today.
he loves books and being mischievous. he can clap!
