IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!

So much has happen in just a few short weeks since I last wrote. Linc is on the move and is seeking to master his walking abilities. It all started with that durn lion with wheels his Nanna gave him for Christmas. He loves that Lion and sometimes gets upset if we pull him away from it or if anything gets in his way including a wall (he is getting good at throwing little temper tantrums which Trisha insists comes from my side). After mastering pushing that Lion all over the house (well not actually master because he hasn't figured out how to turn it) he would start to let go and stand there. He would stand only when he was distracted by something. As soon as he realized that he standing by himself he would drop right to the floor. We were fortunate enough to both be at the house watching him when he took his first 3 steps. He has greatly progressed from there but mostly we walks around the couches so he has something to grab onto. When he does brave his way from the couch his head gets his head to far forward after a few steps and goes tumbling to floor with a smile on his face. There are a few times when he is going slow enough that he can stay standing after taking 3-4 steps. He is always proud of himself after walking even if he has fallen.

We have had to buy a new trash can with a lid because he was getting into it (as with anything else that isn't tied down). Trisha found him one day with the trash tip over and he was licking the old lids to his baby food. I guess we will make sure to feed him more.

I have been trying to get some pictures of him walking but the camera is a little slow, so hopefully I will have some to post here over the next few weeks, or I will try and figure out the whole posting video thing. I am a called a nerd by some, so I should be able to figure it out.

I would have to agree with Trisha, Damen's tantrums definately originated with the Howard genes!
