Lincoln 5 month update

I cannot believe that my little boy is now 5 months old! It is hard to imagine what all we both went through. Sometimes it seems like so long ago, but other days it seems like yesterday! He truly is such a good baby! He is easy going and so content, but he will let you know if he's not! One thing that he gets angry about is riding in his car seat. He HATES it! My other two loved their car seat, but not Lincoln.

One thing that is shocking us all is, he is starting to crawl!! He just turned 5 months old a few days ago, but he has been trying to crawl for weeks. He has mastered getting up on his knees, rocking back and forth, and lunging forward. He can make it across a room pretty quickly!
We had started giving him rice cereal at 4 months, but he wasn't interested. We started back up again a few days ago, but he still doesn't seem to like it. I added peas last night for dinner and he was able to take a few bites. He quickly realized that they were not his favorite veggie, because he started gagging! We will have to reintroduce them later. He seems so interested in food when we are eating. Tonight we are trying squash. Hopefully he will not gag!
He makes everyone smile! People stop me all the time in the store to talk to him....and he never disappoints! He is always willing to give a big gummy grin!






Carlee loves Lincoln...in her own special way! She does not pay as much attention to him as we thought she would. When she decides that she wants to, she is very sweet with her baby brother! She is mostly too busy with other things, like playing babies, drawing circle people, playing with her dollhouse and tea set!


Seeing these two playing makes me smile!


These two are the best of buds! Peyton loves Lincoln so much; and Lincoln adores Peyton! First thing in the morning Peyton always goes to Lincoln and gives him kisses! Lincoln laughs and smiles at Peyton no matter what he is doing. He could just be walking by him and Lincoln will cackle and smile! I hope these two will always be the best of friends!







Lincoln,
I am enjoying every minute that I have with you! You are such a sweet and loving little boy! I am so thankful that you are my last baby! I will cherish every second that I have with you!!
