We have now entered the grabby phase. Lincoln is interested in anything near him and will grab a hold of anything in his reach. Usually things like my shoulder, my hair, and toys the other kids dangle in front of him. But it's not enough to just grab, most things go directly to his mouth.
If he hasn't found an object to put in his mouth, then his fingers suffice just fine. We have seen him put all five fingers in along with his pacifier!
He loves his tag blanket and will kick his arms and legs when he sees it.
The others still ask to hold him and always help get him toys and pacifiers.
We have tried out a new toy, but so far he hasn't lasted in it for more than 5 minutes. Not sure why, but he still prefers his bouncer or play mat.
Oh yeah, and another favorite for his mouth are his toes!
He is so happy 99% of the time. Even when he wakes in the middle of the night. We have had a few rough weeks of sleep with him waking up at 12 am and 4 am just to hang out for an hour. (What?!) But I think we are past that and we are back to the routine feeding at 4 am then going back to sleep. So sleeping through the night would be ideal, but this beats the alternative :)
And we have already done some sleep training to get him to go to fall asleep on his own, so maybe with time it will happen. Maybe.
And he has rolled over 3 times so far. He doesn't try very often since he seems so content laying on his back, but it's so cute when he does. Look at that face of confusion :)
The two most frequent comments we get from others are on his darker skin complexion and also on how much he looks like AJ. And true story: a lady even asked if he was mixed.
