33 weeks.

Jordy got a new hair cut.

Rue got a new toy

Lincoln got new shoes

 ................he hates them by the way..... flip flops are apparently not his thing.

My mom got a new dog.... oh my god... such a cute puppy.

Lincoln sits up now and plays in the grass.

He has taken to sleeping like this. he pulls the blankets over his face to block out the light..... JUST.LIKE.CHRIS.

He got stuck in the crack.... it was hilarious.

Sometimes I need to get things done without wondering where he has rolled off to.

so....sometimes he has to sit in the laundry basket until I'm done folding socks.

 ............he doesnt mind.

Looking very gangster.............except for the single giant angry tear under his eye.

I took about a HUNDRED pictures to try and get a picture of his first tooth.

here are a couple cute ones that came out of that very frustrating photo shoot.

"No, I will NOT open my mouth"

 ..................."but nice try....."

So I finally had to tackle him and hold his mouth open.... this actually took a really really REALLY long time. he hides his teeth I dont know why. Theyre like his little secret, De says. its worth mentioning that there are two teeth pictured here.... that is because they came up at the same time. it was a teething nightmare. so his "first tooth" is actually two teeth.

Chris and I went to the inside out animal exhibit...... it was cool.

We went to a bbq, and Lincoln made a new friend.

"wait come back!"

so she did...... with another friend for him.... they kept petting his head, im not sure why......

Last,  picture of baby today. I really hope when he grows up and looks at this blog he asks....why are there so many pictures of me naked?!...... and I will tell him....." for this moment we are having right now."

 plus, god look how cute he is.

Baby is now 30 weeks...that is to say, 216 days.... or alternatively......7 months and 4 days.

OK so baby has been out on the town A LOT these last few weeks so there are like a million photos in this one.... brace yourself. Also there are a TON of  "firsts" so..... its a good one.

He is now almost 17 pounds. holy cow my shoulders can totally tell. 

Here you can see baby in his natural form.....JUMPING.

 if he's not jumping.... he's eating or pooping. Jumping is his LIFE. 

Here he is looking like a GQ raccoon hat model. Work it baby.

 He is picking up on crawling and sitting. He's got rolling down to a science. As I am currently typing this I am watching him roll across the living room floor. It is his primary form of locomotion. I keep having to stop, pick him up and reset him on the far end of the room, like a little human type writer.

Here is Cherilyn trying to give him beer. REAL NICE.
Baby's first Beer!....Jk.

Dylan Graduated high school this may, which makes me feel both very old and very proud.  Baby had a blast for his graduation barbecue. He is such a ham for attention, and boy did he ever get it at the party. Lincoln was wrestled over for who got to hold him pretty much the entire time.

His first jump on the trampoline.... christs pajamas, he loved it, and he slept sooooooooo good  that night.

Baby's first trip to the ZOO!

ok, to be fair, he was asleep and disinterested for the first half hour....
but then we got to the elephants and he got SO excited.
the baby elephant was right up next to the fence.

He really got into it after that, posing with the big water elephant.

He even got a new little red zoo hat.

and Chris got one too in the chinese village area

the giraffes were kissing..... too adorable.

And a lion ate my baby!

 Lincoln's first swim!
 Baby finally got to go swimming..... he loved it.

Here Lincoln is practicing Proper crawling form.

 He really is so close to getting it.

Baby's first hike.
We went up to donut falls. I cant express how much he loved it. he was cooing and laughing and kicking excitedly the entire time, when he'd see something new (like the river) he'd stop and look at it thoughtfully, soaking it all in. we  would hear the silence and pause to let him really enjoy it.

Baby was so cute until he pulled this face.

Family photo! luckily there were other hikers that were willing to take our pictures.

Very possibly my favorite photo of them all.

 Lincoln sitting up on the couch and gazing out the window,  like he loves to do.

Baby's first cucumber.... he was less than enthused

Oh and before I forget, since he just turned 7 months and I forgot to do it at 6 months..... Bunny comparison. Remember that when he was born he was smaller than the bunny......

 He could probably hold his newborn self, now.

Its crazy how fast he's growing.
