SEVEN!

Our Lincoln is now SEVEN! He's grown up so much the last few months and it really shows.  He's still a big boy, weighing in at 56 lbs (75%) and is 50 inches tall (90%), and seems to get more and more handsome by the day.  He's now in the 1st grade and is doing much better with it.  He had a really hard time the first week and a half of school.  Going from 3 hours of school a day to 7 hours is a big change.  Especially for a boy who can still take an afternoon nap :)  He was really sad and homesick in the beginning, but one boring weekend at home, and a visit with his teacher, seemed to have solved the problem.  Yes, I've already been called in by his teacher for a meeting.  I'm starting to think this was just the first of many in his school career! He still has a way with making friends with all those around him, especially adults.  All the ladies in the office, the librarian, and I'm sure the lunch ladies, know him by name . 

Here are some of Lincoln's favorite things right now:
*still LOVES angry birds and "pets"
*cheese pizza, spaghetti or chicken taquitos
*chocolate ice cream
*drawing and painting
*anything space related
*baking treats with Mom

Here are some things that are just very Lincoln right now:
*being SUPER emotional
*saying "literally" and urches (which means brakes)
*picky about shirts and how soft they are (no handsome shirts, aka, button ups)

And finally, here are some Lincoln facts:
*loves to help with Lucy and is really great at it (getting her out of her crib, getting her in and out of her high chair, getting her food, etc)
*still very loving and snugly
*has lost 7 teeth so far
*doesn't really like to say family prayers, but is always the first to point out "what would Jesus do?"
*great with math (addition and subtraction) and is getting better with reading
*can make chicken nuggets, eggos, toast, and sandwiches by himself

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Linc!
