Lincoln is slowly overcoming the next greatest challenge to a baby - walking... He's continued to improve with walking whilst holding onto your hand and has only recently started to stand on his own - although you have to distract him for it to happen, as when he realises that nobody is holding onto him (and he's not holding onto anything), he has a bit of a freak out and drops to the ground. But if you can distract him for long enough, he will stand for a good 5-6 seconds! And over the last week Mum and Dad have been doing some 'walking practice' where we pass him between our arms at a decent distance. Today he walked the furthest he has walked without assistance - approximately 5 metres - which was very exciting. The problem he faces though, is that he gets so carried away he loses concentration - and tends to topple head first (only one head/floor collision so far though!!!)...So it seems the only thing stopping him from walking around more often is the mental barrier...!
