Things have been a
bit chaotic the last several months.
These boys of mine are growing so fast and time is getting away from
me. Lincoln is growing like a weed and
Eli is getting smarter by the second.
Lincoln is now 8
months old -
- Pulling himself up to standing
- Taking steps to adjust when standing
- Crawling after the cat (and cat food)
- Loves to grab onto the curtains
- Learning regularly what is a toy and what is not
- Officially has his two bottom teeth popping through
- Eating more than peas finally! He prefers to have tidbits of food as opposed to purees
- Doesn't care to sleep so much, still
- Loves his care taker, Ms. Amy, at school
- It's just he and another little boy, Lucas, in his class and gets all the attention he needs
- Admires his big brother so much. All he wants to do is play with Eli and all Eli wants is for Lincoln to not put Dolphie in his mouth
- LOVES the cat…..did I mention that? And Riley? She tolerates Lincoln
- LOVES the bath. When he gets in, he just wants to splash like crazy! He also looked the pool! He was a peaceful little boy in the water.
Eli is now nearly
4….what, I have a nearly 4 year old? How
is that even possible. I ordered Eli a
pair of shoes last week and when the box came, I opened it and immediately thought,
"oh, I must have ordered big boy sizes because these are WAY too
big." But, then I looked over at
his little feet and thought, "hmmm, those aren't so little." Held the shoes up, and yep, they were the
right size! He is growing so much
now. A month or so ago, he was about 3
feet 4 inches, that's tall and when I look at him with his friends, he is the
taller one.
- Obsessed with dolphins and his favorite stuffed dolphin, Dolphie
- His creativity is off the charts. I love listening to him play by himself and the way he acts out scenes from his shows he likes.
- His handwriting is getting so good, I think it's better than most doctors out there.
- He loves to cook/bake. I had to start taking the goodies into work because we can only eat so many cupcakes and cookies before we get sick from all of the sweets!
- His hair is a thick as thick can get! Enjoy that while it lasts kid!
- He loves school, I mean LOVES school and his closest friends Miriam and Nabil
- Rocks, rocks and more rocks. We can't have enough rocks. Ohhh, Rocks and Sticks!
I say it all the
time, but I'm so not good with keeping up with the blog this time around! It's such a challenge with both little dudes
keeping me busy all of the time. I am the
luckiest lady in the world to have 3 amazing boys in my life!
