11 Months

Just a word of warning, you may get a Lincoln overload if you read this whole post.

So here he is, the little rascal at 11 months. The picture above is quite a typical look for him... grinning with a bruise on his head. Anyway, his stats (measured by me so no gaurantee of their accuracy) are as follows:

• Weight: 22 lbs 11 oz (50th Percentile)
• Height: 29.75 in (50th Percentile)

Here is an illustrated list of Lincoln's recent hobbies:

1) Sharing his food and toys with Lucy. I've given up on trying to stop it cause it happens behind my back anyway. Lincoln hasn't gotten sick from Lucy germs so, whatever.

2) Taking baby steps. He gets a little nervous after two or three steps and crouches down to safety. (Sorry about the video, Matt didn't know that you can't rotate a video, so you'll just have to rotate your head)

3) Turning the pages during story time.

4) Playing with dad (and his wallet).

5) Playing in his play pen but ONLY if accompanied. Matt takes little siestas in there while Lincoln does his thing. Pretty funny.

6) Playing "Hit the Toy". I love the noises he makes while in pursuit of his rolling toy. I'm sure the downstairs neighbors appreciate this game.

7) Tearing up any scrap of paper that happens to be on the floor. Lucy and Lincoln are quite the tag team. Sometimes I just give them a piece of paper to tear up just to keep them busy. They are very good at taking turns.

Anyway, he is a delight (most of the time) and we're so glad he's a part of our family. It's hard to believe that A) he's almost a year old and B) we already have another one on the way. Yowzers!

Here are some (non-Lincoln related) bonus features :

In Korea, they sell their carrots straight out of the ground. They are just as dirty as can be. It's actually kind of hard to tell if they're in good shape or not cause they are so dirty. It really takes some elbow grease and some special spounges to get them clean. And there's no such thing as a baby carrot around here. These are all "Big Daddy" size... 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter at the biggest part. Here's a before and after.

Um... my belly really popped out these last four weeks. A little more torpedo like.

Last but not least, another precious "Day in the Life" moment:

You're all probably gagging after that video, knowing that Lincoln and Lucy share toys. Don't judge us, K?
