Well... Lincoln is officially crawling and tearing the house apart.  I actually really enjoy this stage.  He is so curious and inquisitive and loves his new found freedom.  I love to watch his personality come out more and more. The messes don't bother me (most of the time).  I love watching as he explores the world.  He is so pleased with himself.  It has taken him a little longer than I expected to crawl. He has been able to sit on his own for months, but didn't progress beyond that.  He would sit and then lean foward and flop on his belly and just cry.  This went on for weeks so I am thrilled he is not stuck in a constant belly flop anymore!!! This is one of his favorite cupboards to play in.
