Lincoln 1 year

Lincoln's Birthday is on Saturday, but we'll be out of town so I thought I would put this post up now. After this post, I'll try to post about something other than Lincoln- since that's pretty much all I ever post about.
What Lincoln is able to do these days:
He started walking at about the beginning of May (10 months old) but didn't get any good at it until later on in the month.
Now that he's walking pretty good, he is everywhere- I suppose that means he's a toddler?
He loves to pull all my utensils out of a drawer he can't even see into. Actually, he loves to pull anything out of any drawer he can get into.
He loves being outside and has started eating potato bugs(rolley poleys?)The first time he did it, I tried to get it out of his mouth, thinking it was a leaf or something. When I realized what it was, I was pretty grossed out, but still tried to get it out of his mouth until he bit into it and I decided he could have it at that point. The second time occurred when I was cutting Zach's hair outside. Zach thought it would be funny to point them out to Lincoln and see if he would eat one again- sure enough, he did. This time I got a picture.


Lincoln also seems to love studying the mechanics of things. We took him on a four wheeler ride on Saturday and while he was sitting up front, instead of looking at the road and sights in front of him, he was studying/playing with the instrumentation of the four-wheeler. This was all he did for the hour-long ride, until he fell asleep.
Lincoln has also learned how to sneak into the pantry and find the vanilla wafers. This happened while Zach and I were cleaning up after Lunch on Sunday. We didn't even notice until he had a few in his mouth- even though he was right behind us.

Generally, Lincoln is a very curious, and healthy little boy and we love him very, very, very, very... much!

He is so cute. That is pretty gross that he eats bugs though. Zach sounds just like Jon! Dallin LOVES playing with my kitchen utensils too. I got him his own, but he still wants mine.

I am so glad you guys post about little Lincoln. He is adorable. I still can't believe our babies are 1.
I love that fact that Lincoln eats bugs. I hope you aren't telling people that he learned that from me because, I heard Zach the last time we were together. It was almost like he wanted Lincoln to try out bugs. What a weird Dad. By the way Happy Father's Day brother. You have many more to count. Hopefully next year you will have two little ones. You don't want Lincoln to get too spoiled. j/k
Can't wait to see you all this weekend. Drive safe.

Lincoln is such a handsome young man :) We just love him. I was just labeling a bunch of pictures from over the past few month and was able to see how he has grown. It is such a neat thing about this age -- plus he has such great parents!
