Self Made Man

Lincoln met another Lincoln this month. This man is in his 30s, maybe 40s, and bought a restaurant nearby, which he will be running from his home in South East New Hampshire. This man confirmed the reason why we use Lincoln and Link interchangeably. "When you introduce yourself as Link, people just don't hear it or can't comprehend it the first time, so you say Lincoln and they get it. After that you use Link."

More updates since our return: I was worried about Lincoln's cup grasping skills since he never tips and rarely wants to hold onto a cup, due to very few bottles (I think). My sister found the solution. She bought him some sippy cups with straws built in the lid that don't leak. Link now grabs his cup all the time. We will work on tipping later. Although he loves to pretend he is tipping all the way back when he sees someone finish a canned beverage.

Link also likes to stand on his own a lot. Before he would laugh and fall forward like it is a game. Now he stands stationary for almost a minute at a time. When he wants to take a step he puts his hand on the ground and does a bear crawl.
