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.
