12 months

My baby is a year old! It's the most bitter sweet feeling. This last year he has grown up and gotten so smart. This past month he has surprised me with how much he has learned. We're getting closer to walking but not quite able to do it on his own. In the movie Dumbo he has to have a feather so he can fly. Lincoln has to hold onto one of our fingers to walk but doesn't need it, so we call it his feather. He says "dada" all the time still but he has learned the word dog. I'm not surprised by that one. Lincoln's got a serious love for dogs. He has learned how to use a fork which is kind of funny because he can't actually stab the food so if we help him with that he can put it right into his mouth. Seriously, he's so smart. He loves to play outside but doesn't like the feeling of the grass on his legs and feet so unless he's wearing long pants and shoes he bear crawls everywhere. He'll eat string cheese like he's never been fed before and the same goes for pears, and that's about it. He's still the pickiest eater ever though. He got a stuffed bunny recently and he LOVES it. Every night when we lay him down he has it tucked under his arm. It melts my heart a bit. This year has gone by soooo quickly and I'm so sad it's over but I look forward to Lincoln's life and watching him grow more. I have loved this year with him and being his mom and the fact that I get to be his mom forever just makes it even better.
