Our little man is getting to be such a big boy!
He sits up on his own for several minutes before he topples over...
although it does wear him out pretty fast, since the muscles he's using are still getting used to all the use! (I wanted to see how many times I could use "use" in that sentence. And, apparently, in this one as well.)
Lincoln is eating his solids very well! How well? He wants to show you:
He eats cereal (rice, oatmeal, wheat), apples, bananas, peaches, carrots, green beans (doesn't care for them), sweet potatoes, and zucchini. Tomorrow he's trying an avocado. Yum! It is so much fun to introduce him to new foods. And a little overwhelming! Lots of choices. I've made most of his food so far, which is time consuming but sort of fun and makes me feel like Super Mom.
Unfortunately, Lincoln has also been screaming often when he nurses and often will pull off after about a minute. I'm very concerned, as I don't want to stop nursing and want to make sure he's getting the nutrition he needs. Not sure what's wrong, but I think it's a combo of his gums hurting (two teeth are through on the bottom, so he's working on the top) and not being too hungry yet--I've had him on a 4/4.5-hour schedule, but perhaps he needs to be on a 5-hour. My grief, I'll never figure him out!
And, finally, Linc loves to get into crawling position:
But he doesn't usually do much once he's there. Rocks back and forth for a minute and then goes back down on his belly. But he's almost there!
Here's a fun video of him rocking/trying to get to the camera.
Good night!
