father/son swim time

Derick's parents bought a small blow-up pool for Lincoln and he loves to play in it. The other day when we were all outside watching him, Derick decided to hop in too...in his clothes. The sight was worth a few laughs, to say the least.

Here are a few other recent pictures that make me laugh:

Lincoln is a pro and getting up the stairs, but we keep trying to teach him how to get down safely and he doesn't want to do it. He would rather just walk down like we do. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, he climbed up one stair, but then he didn't know how to get down.

Lincoln loves playing in piles of clothes. Let's just say that I never get to fold any laundry. We got some of our clothes out of storage the other day and when I was unpacking, Lincoln climbed right in to the suitcase. I love his smile/laugh.

His new favorite game is hiding behind the clothes in our new closet.

(See his legs in there?)

Lincoln loves to get on his hands and feet and stick his bum in the air. He loves it even more when I come up and peek between his legs. He is getting close to learning to somersault.

Last but not least, here are some words that Lincoln has added to his vocabulary for the 16-month mark.

Bubble

Basketball

Bird

Baby

Bounce (not pronounced correctly, of course)

Baseball

(yeah...he's good with the b's)

Peek-a-boo

You're Welcome

Mimi (Grammy)

Grandma

Juice

Shoe 

More (when he wants anything, not just more of something)

Christie (his aunt)

All done

Mmmm...good

All done

Oh, yeah!

donut

.......

.......

and he pretty much copies many other words that we say, when we say them.
