Lincoln had his 9 month well baby visit yesterday and we were so excited that he didn't need to get any vaccines... but then we found out he needed to get his blood drawn! (just routine to check for led, iron, etc.) I was so nervous taking him to the lab and hoping they would be able to find the vain and only have to stick him once. The tech tied his left arm with the band and looked for a vain on the left arm, then the right arm, then back to the left. I could tell she was nervous and that made me more nervous! We distracted him with a little toy as she prepped Lincoln's arm. He was leaning in to lick her bright blue glove when she stick him with the needle. All he did was pause as it went it and just continued playing with his little toy! He didn't even cry at all, it didn't even phase him! Chris would be proud. Ha ha ha. He did however scream once we took his toy way!
My little baby is getting so big. It makes me sad that he's not going to be a baby forever.
>> he stands up on everything! He'll even stand on his own for a few seconds.
>> he also walks along everything
>> he's getting a little better at eating solids... He usually just eats a few bites of whatever then gets over it pretty quickly.
>> the 2 top teeth just cut through and it seems like there's going to be gap between them so he's going to have a goofy smile petty soon.
>>still licks and puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, it's ridiculous how many times a day I'm taking things out of his mouth!
>> he LOVES going in the pool
>> when he's really excited he makes the funniest face. He'll tense up his arms and fists and shouts!
>> and he has discovered biting with his new teeth...
>> he wears most size 12-18 month clothes already!
It brakes my heart sometimes to know that he's not going to be my only baby for much longer. I feel like I did rob away some of that precious time with him. I'm trying to squeeze in as much one-on-one time with him before [baby girl] comes. We read books together, sing songs, and cuddle. I feel so guilty too because there is so much I can't do with him because I'm just in so much pain from being pregnant right now plus my belly is so big it's hard to even hold him.
I really do believe that Lincoln was sent to us first for a reason. We have such a special bond. I know he'll step up and take care of me and his younger siblings when Chris is deployed. He's got such a strong personality. He is very determined and driven, just like his daddy. He's also a tough little guy finding all sorts of adventures, already getting scraps and bruises and he's only 9 months old! He loves it when we say prayers. He gets quiet and has this big smile on his face, (I peek every time) and then when we say "amen" he lets out a happy "ahhh." I love my little linc-a-dink so much!
He won't be a baby for long, but he will be MY baby forever.
Picture time!
