General update

What? I wasn't ringing international, I promise!

Mesmerised by one of his favourite television shows (Chuggington/Roary/Bob the builder/Thomas the tank engine).

Nothing outstanding to report - life goes on as usual with Linc filling our lives with much fun, enjoyment and the odd challenge! He's at one sleep a day of about 1.5 hrs and still has a great sleep at night - from about 2000hrs to 0730hrs, which is a great for Mum and Dad!

Linc is still going to Kindermusik each week and has also just signed up for Mini Q at Questacon. He had a great time at the trial visit so we've joined him up for a year.

His character is starting to show more and more each day - it's amazing how kids, even at this age, are so different. For instance, at Kindermusik they put the kids in a washing basket and pull them around on the floor with a blanket. Now being Dad's son, you would think he would love it. Nup. He hates it. Screams and acts like we've just chopped his arm off! He loves having a fright though - like when Dad hums really low then all of a sudden yips like a little dog - Linc jumps a mile and laughs his head off.

He hates holding hands in public (already!), and has no fear about cars and other people, and no idea that those big supermarket trolleys would flatten him with ease! When he's out shopping with us, if he sees another pram he'll run over to try and help to push the pram... We took him to the lighting shop today to get him a night light - he thought it would be hilarious to run away from Dad straight over to a ceramic light fitting and bash it with his hands...I have no idea how it didn't break. (Yeah, yeah, nice parenting I hear you say - but he's so quick when he gets a run on!).

He loves reading. Not that he lasts all that long, and tends to turn the page before you've finished reading it, but he'll grab a book and run over to you saying 'pah, pah pah' (whatever that means). Then you sit down on the floor and he'll just fall back onto your lap so you can read to him - it's so cute! He's also good at giving kisses - but he's very selective these days - so it's a treat to get one from him! He also continues to love his baths, but he now HATES laying down. Not sure why, but he is terrified of it for some reason.

Mum is now 26 weeks pregnant - she is now looking very pregnant, and exceedingly beautiful - she certainly suits being pregnant with her tall frame and stunning good looks. Boy are we in for some fun times when 2.0 comes along... it's already started with having to move all three rooms around - the study is now in the guest's room (the guest's room no longer exists), Lincoln's room will now be in the old study (once it's painted and his bed arrives!), and 2.0 will have the nursery!
