lincoln - 6 months old

lincoln is now 6 months old. he is such a cutie. he laughs all the time. he is also moving all the time. he is so wiggly! if he is sitting in his car seat in the house he kicks his legs to make the car seat rock - i should get a video of that sometime. he is tall but thin (for a baby) so all his clothes are too short, or if they are long enough, way loose around the middle. he does have some fairly chunky thighs for being so skinny.

and he has two teeth! i can't believe it. all my other kids waited until about 9 months to get teeth, and then it was only one. but poor linky got two teeth at the same time. he didn't like it.

check out those chompers.


he's really good at sitting up now.

he's a lot of fun and very patient with the other kids. he's pretty vocal and makes all sorts of cute baby noises. we all love him so much!

i'm so glad we have him. some people think he was the "accident" in the family - someone even said that at church. but he is not. we knew it was his time to come. and even though my life is really crazy with four young kids, i'm actually really glad that he is here right now. he forces me to slow down when i'm feeling rushed - you can't rush a nursing baby. he cheers me up when i'm having a rough day - his smiles are so infectious. he snuggles me when all the other kids are running around like crazy people - it calms me down.

i'm very, very grateful for my little linkies.

He is sooo cute in these pictures. It's hard to believe that he is 6 months old. It has gone by so quickly. I am excited to see him, well everyone, in a few weeks.
