Final Months

I continue to be amazed by this growing little boy. You would think I would have gotten over it by now, but I haven’t.

He loves the outdoors more than cheerios or veggie sticks (which is saying something). His ability to communicate what he wants astounds me (and I totally get why all parents think their child is a genius – the progress they make from one day to the next is astonishing). It is crazy to think we only have a few more months with just Lincoln around.

Here are just a few pictures from a deceptively chilly but sunny afternoon. Bring on the spring weather!

^Taking a brief break from swinging to watch the train. 
^We’re breaking in our new baby carrier in hopes that Lincoln likes it enough to spend a good couple hours a day in it when we travel next month. He did fine on Ben’s back for awhile but definitely preferred to be up front where he wasn’t missing anything.

^We ditched the shoes so Lincoln had an easier time climbing up the slide – if there is something to climb, he’s on it. 
^stealing Lincoln’s veggie sticks, always.

^We finally went ahead and picked out some first real shoes for Lincoln and I love that these ones are designed for his beginning stage of walking (plus, they’re adorable). Lincoln brings me a pair of shoes each morning, begging for them to be put on.
