(Funny thing about digital cameras with a "no red-eye" setting: they don't actually get rid of the red-eye! If anything, I think, they increase it.)
Lincoln is super-smiley these days:
He LOVES Llama (poor Llama cat!):
And he LOVES to crawl:
Oh, our baby is so much fun these days!
Crawling!
Smiling, squeaking, squealing, talking nonstop (Mama, Da, Baba)
Pulling up to knees & trying to get to feet
Being chased
(he tries to crawl away but gets so tickled that he doesn't go anywhere)
"Climbing" the Boppy, Daddy and Mommy, etc.
Bopping/dancing
Crawl-through tunnel (video forthcoming!)
Eating/feeding himself finger foods, which is hysterical
Jumping in the Jumperoo
He has also done well three times now in the church nursery. YES!!
Lincoln's dislikes at 8 months:
Going to sleep: he's started this thing where he screams as soon as we put him in the crib.
It is heartbreaking to listen to him cry himself to sleep; this is the first time we've had to do it.
That's it. Linc is a happy boy!
And now, here is Lincoln showing off his mad crawling skills (our "easy" time is over!):
