10 months {Lincoln}

It's been a crazy ride these last few weeks. Had to take him to urgent care on New Year's Day for ear infection since the doctor's office was closed. Had antibiotics for 10 days then the following three days after he randomly broke out in hives. Originally thought it was from yogurt he had but all doctors/nurses I've talked to believe it was from antibiotics. So fast forward two weeks from his first ear infection and things aren't getting much better. Turns out his bad ear was cleared up but his other ear was bad :-/ So new antibiotics were given and so far he has been MUCH better. 

Besides the horrible nights sleep we have been getting the past few weeks, he has been perfectly fine during the day. His new favorite thing to do is pull everything out of the laundry basket.

He wants to be mobile but isn't crawling yet. He will roll around to get what he wants for now, but has shown some frustration about not getting there fast enough or even at all. Another favorite of his is pulling up on your fingers. He LOVES to stand. He would do that all day if I let him. It's so cute to watch him look for someone's fingers to pull up on :)

  

His other favorite thing to do is high-five. If he's starting to fuss I will quickly offer a high-five and he immediately giggles and reciprocates.

Since we ended up back at the doctor's for his ear, I was curious to see how his weight was doing. Still maintaining 5%, he had gained a pound since last month and is now 17 lb 14 oz. Many people, including us, have noticed he has bulked up some and looks "fuller".

He is always wanting to get somewhere. He sat for a few minutes before realizing I wasn't going to give him the camera so he decided he was done :)

Not that you can tell by this picture, but he has had four haircuts already! Seems like the back and sides are growing like crazy.

His fourth tooth finally popped through too. Seems like he has a new one each week.

He is so vocal these days, mostly saying "da-da-da". The other three are constantly loving on him that sometimes we implement a "no touching Lincoln" rule. Poor kid gets mauled sometimes from all the hugs, kisses, and little momma's just trying to take care of him. I do love that about them though.
