Month 8 for Lincoln and Month 33 for Aaron

12/19/13- Lincoln must be in the Christmas Spirit because he learned to clap today. He just started doing it all on his own. Aaron and mom encouraged him to do it more and he kept doing it.

- On this same day, Aaron said to the wind. Wind, stop blowing my hair! Then he told me, "that is a good idea." when it came to doing a puzzle.

-Well, Lincoln got Croup for the second time in his 7 month life. He rallied through the Christmas Eve service and even gaves us moments of happiness at Snuffers.

-Aaron's signature phrase is, "that's a good idea!"

-Aaron continually thinks that daddy is Robin Thicke. He most recently mistook him for Wolverine. Daddy had gone 4 days without shaving.

-He still requests and loves dancing to tongue tied.

-Lincoln started waving! Sterling came home and he waved to him. Lincoln also started clapping his hands all on his own.

-Lincoln is so content that he seems to fall over and not make a peep. He is intentionally trying to grab things while kind of rocking forward from the sitting position.

-Lincoln is very easy to put down for naps and sleep. Sometimes it sounds like it is going to be really violent as he cries when you lay him down, but you stop before I am one foot down the hallway.

-You started rolling over from your back to your tummy and becoming a tummy sleeper.

-You got two teeth! It was Sunday, January 19th 2014 and when we woke up we discovered two teeth. Oops, hope they came at the same time!

-You have almost figured out more.

-You still love sleeping with your little blanket and lovie.

-You love mum mums and pretty much any kind of food we have gotten you. You still sometimes wake up at 4:30 am waling and we are never quite sure why.
