Lawrence, At four months, you are such a sweet baby. We love each day with you. You love to be on your play mat, grabbing the toys and looking in the mirror. You make lots of different noises and are starting to squeal more when you get excited. You put everything you can in your mouth and especially like to bite daddy's fingers. Your eyes are starting to lighten, and your hair is getting wavy, thick, and even longer. We're debating whether we should cut it or not. You weigh about 13 lbs., 11 oz. and are 25 3/4" long. You're starting to be more social and smile more easily. More and more often you want to be held or at least talked to, not laid down alone. You are incredibly observant and are often content to just sit with someone and watch everything that's going on around you. You take everything in as it happens, usually with a pretty serious expression and big, big eyes. This has made it a little harder to get ...

Lincoln's becoming quite the little fishy! The day after we got back from Arkansas, we spent a day at Grammy and Grampy's. Their neighbors have a swimming pool, so we spent a while over there. Lincoln was pretty bold in the pool - jumping in to daddy and swimming/floating around all by himself!

We spent the first week of July at the cabin. The whole Klaassen family was there for at least part of the week. We enjoyed lots of time with aunts/uncles/cousin/grandma/papa, a couple boat rides, good food, and lots of time to relax. Lawrence spent a little time hanging out in some water in the cement boat. He's usually pretty serious about new experiences, and this was no exception. Lincoln was so much fun to watch this year. He started off really hesitant about the water but by the end of the week he would get right in (climbing down the ladder) and float around for 30 minutes or more at a time, as long as there was someone else in the water to hang on to. He didn't want to leave at the end of the week.
