May Update

I have not been taking nearly enough pictures the past few weeks! I'm going to have to pick it up over the summer...


Lincoln loves dogs. A while back, he figured out that we have the DVD Marley and Me. He will now go to the TV stand, open the door, and pull out all the DVDs until he finds Marley. Then it carries it around, declaring, "dog. dog. dog." We got a book from the library about dogs, and he sat next to me on the couch for the entire story, which never happens! I'm going to have to find some more nonfiction with photographs of dogs.



One day he came home from Penny's with a tattoo!


He's had a couple bad spills on the concrete. The first was when I was picking him up at daycare. He stubbed his toe on the step (trying to go up) and banged his forehead on the concrete porch. Ouch! (The picture above is from that day.) A week later, he was running to daddy in the driveway and fell, face first. Thankfully he didn't have any serious side effects from either.


We tried to take a picture with a "Happy Birthday Grandma" sign, but Lincoln was having none of that!


Lincoln still loves to be outside and is really starting to figure out his John Deere, actually moving his feet when it's pushed. Mostly, he just runs around. Every day when we get home, I set him down and he takes off for the mailbox. Getting the mail is a highlight of each afternoon.


He waves good bye and blows kisses. Words now include "snack," "bye," "more," and "Jazzy," all of which are pretty clear but not necessarily used consistently. He's starting to talk more, even at daycare where he's been pretty quiet. He will say "Do" for his friend Jordo and "D" for Dallin. Sometimes Lincoln and daddy will have long conversations about the Royals - daddy talks and Lincoln babbles in sentences.



Lincoln's been making some animal noises; when asked, he will usually moo for a cow, baa for a sheep, and neigh for a horse. He also makes a pretty realistic pig noise with his throat somehow. That's pretty random, though. I think he just likes to do it.


Lincoln also loves to help out. He can always be counted on to help pick up his toys, put his shoes away, and even clean up after us! It's so nice to have such a good helper; we are doing our best to encourage that wonderful trait!
