9 Months

9 Months old!! Only three more months until this sweet boy is a year! This past month we have made some break throughs! Lincoln will eat solids now as long as he can feed himself. It makes meals a lot messier but he is eating so I'm not complaining. his favorite foods are noodles, manderine oranges, and Ritz crackers. We started sleep training again and we are making progess there too. Crying it out is really hard for me. I just want to run to him and snuggle him but doing that has caused his naughty sleeping habits. We're back to not having to rock him to sleep which is dreamy. Now we just need to master sleeping through the night again. Lincoln loves to climb all over everything. The dishwasher especially. He can climb all the way to the top of the stairs. Which stops my heart sometimes because I'm afraid he is going to fall. We have discovered a love for music and animals this month. Everytime he sees a dog he points and yells at us until we look. It's really cute. The funniest thing he started doing this month is an ET finger. He points at you until you connect the tip of your finger with his. I have no idea why he does it but it makes me laugh every time. This month Lincoln has tested my patients with his curiosity. He seems to get into EVERYTHING. he has started to unroll the toilet paper. I think it's actually kind of funny but it's really bad because he'll go through an entire roll in about 4 minutes. Probably the grossest thing is when I found him with his hand in the toilet playing in the water. That was disgusting but I'm so grateful this sweet boy is mine even if he does gross things like play in the toilet.
