11 months and this week.

Lincoln turned 11 months old on Leap Day.. my little baby is growing up.  Here's what our week looked like...... and info about Lincoln over the last month.
*Friday we had a Tornado scare.. lots of wind, rain, and hail but luckily it missed us but hit North and West of us pretty hard- our prayers go out to those that were affected.  We were ready to cram into our little room under the stairs if we needed to.

*Other than that the weather has been awesome. We really are Loving Kentucky for so many reasons.  Spring is def. in the air. Lincoln was able to play outside, crawl around in the grass, and had his first taste of dirt-- which he didn't mind one bit.

*Lincoln is getting pretty darn good at standing up on his own. Pretty good at walking with his walker too but still doesn't seem to confident to try to take any steps on his own. 

*Has found that taking everything out of the cupboards or rolling all the toilet paper off of the roll is pretty fun mom doesn't quite agree.
*We love how ticklish he is. I just have to hold my fingers up and pretend that I am going to tickle his neck and he starts laughing.
*His favorite 'naughty' thing to do is climb up on our fireplace hearth and stick his hand in and grab the little pebbles. It is never on so it's not hot but it still gets his fingers all black(notice in the pic).  Mom gets pretty impatient at pulling him off of there all day long.

*Has started to enjoy reading (well turning the pages) books by himself.  His favorite is a lift the flap book 1st Bible because it has lots of things to open and close.

*I laugh out loud multiple times a day at the things he does.
*He now has 4 teeth-- he went from 0 last month to 4 now.  Still barely visible but they are there. 

*He has become quite the eater--- he rarely eats actual baby food... mostly just table food.  He def. prefers to feed himself and although I am surprised at how much he actually gets in his mouth he still leaves quite a mess for Mom and Dad to clean up after him.  I think banana's are his favorite(well maybe one of his favorites). I ask him if he wants a 'banana' and he gets excited.  Pretty sure he would eat a banana for every meal if I let him have one.
-Lincoln has ringworm- yes parents of the year right here. We're not sure how he got it but Adam new exactly what it was the second they started because apparently wrestlers get them all the time which according to Adam means that Lincoln is destined to be a wrestler. We'll see. :)

-Speaking of wrestling, this weekend was the Big Ten Wrestling Tournament, so that means Adam has been glued to reading blogs, websites, and watching or listening to the wrestling matches. Lincoln of course had to sport his Iowa gear and watch wrestling with Dad.  Fun for me.

*Adam and I have started to get a bit more serious about working out.  We started 'Body Rock' and after three weeks, I can tell that I am getting stronger and more fit than ever. I like that it focuses on simple exercises that I know work. And I love that I can do it in my house.  Check it out-- and yes she is pretty scandalous (ignore that part of it) but I guess you know her exercises work with a body like that.  
*Other than that we do our typical routine. Adam to work and me hanging with Lincoln. I try to stay busy by trying lots of new recipes, little crafty stuff here and there, and relief society stuff.   Life is Good!
