We Have a CRAWLERRRR!!

Admittedly, we didn't push Lincoln to start crawling.  Kirk and I both figured crawling would come with time.  It's not like he was going to spend his life scooching around on his butt, rolling around or pivoting in a circle for the rest of his life.  Maybe we should have pushed him, but we knew with time, he'd start crawling.  Plus, I must admit, we both enjoyed sitting him down with his toys and being able to run around the house and get stuff done.

BUT, here we are 11.5 months into his short life and Lincoln has finally started crawling.  The people at day care told us he may slow down on the talking while he was working on crawling, but that hasn't slowed down at all either.  He's still yodeling as much as ever.  It's so stinkin' cute.

Anyway, last week Saturday we thought he was getting really close.  We bribed him with Gerber Lil' Crunchies.  He loves the Garden Tomato kind.  Seriously...LOVES THEM.  Kirk doesn't love them because he insists they give him bad breath. 

The bribery worked!  Within just a couple minutes he was making his way over to his snacks!! 

He's gotten better throughout the course of the week.  He's still not perfect, but I love the way he throws his hands on the ground.  It's awkward and he looks like he's going to tip over.  It's so cute!  I love how non-graceful he is.

Something else we've learned in the last week is that Lincoln thinks it's funny when people fall.  We were on the ground playing with him when I stood up, slipped and fell onto the ottoman.  He laughed at me!  He is my son!!  Take note: don't fall around him or there could be some inappropriate laughter.

Happy Weekend!
