Last night I put Lincoln to bed on a mat on the floor in the bedroom. I was so thankful that I opened the door slowly as not to wake the boy because he moved around and must have been trying to get out because he fell asleep with his body by the wall and his head directly in front of the door. An ingenious way to make sure he would get woken up when we entered the room. If I had opened the door quickly I would have knocked his head off.

People say that some kids skip crawling and go right to walking. I am pretty sure Lincoln is skipping crawling and NOT going straight to walking. This is the only thing that bothers me about his development even though I know it is more my problem of impatience when I see his younger friends crawl all over him and walk. He does not show any signs of a disability just lack of desire. We may be growing a couch potato.

Lincoln now has a pretty good grasp on mama, dada, and baby. He also responds to the words "high five" and "kisses" and he likes to put phones and anything that looks like a phone (remote control) up to his ear and say hi.
