Dad's boy...

Linc has taken to the 'big bath' like a duck to water...just like his Dad who doesn't mind a soak in the bath with a good book! It's funny when he splashes just a little too enthusiastically and gets water on his face - that gives him a bit of a fright - but he soldiers on splashing anyway.

6710g 30 June

Linc had his 5 month checkup today. He now weighs 6710 g (10-50th percentile), height is 64.5 cm (10-50th %), and head circumference 43.6 cm (50-90th %). He's happy, healthy and very, very cheeky!

ol' blue eyes...

Dad bought a new flash for his EOS400D while he was away...it's so much better than the camera-mounted flash. Especially because you can keep shooting away without having to worry about the flash over-heating...! This was play-time today...

Two tenors and Lincorotti

A wonderful photo of Linc belting out his favourite song 'In the deep blue sea' accompanied by two of the three tenors! When nothing else works, and we've tried 'twinkle twinkle', 'old macdonald', 'ring around the rosey', 'three blind mice', we can always rely on 'In the deep blue sea' to calm Linc down. Mum and Dad even tend to make up new verses since it only has three verses and they get boring pretty quick!

Although when he's really tired, like he was this evening, nothing will help focus him on having a feed - and that's when it's off to bed - this evening he had such a lovely long sleep, which is not surprising since he's had about 45 minutes all day today!

9 days without dad...

Linc was so good while Dad was away. Mum was a bit worried she would have a really tough time without Dad, but she did exceptionally well, and Linc was such a good little boy the whole time. Mum also thanks her parents for feeding her and allowing her to have a bit of a break for four of the evenings!

Boy, does Linc's hair look a touch red in this photo! Pretty sure it's a bit of a trick of the light though, as he's quite blonde still.

6435g 16 June

As you can see, Linc has put on an incredible 465g in 2 weeks - good one Linc! See what happens when Dad disappears for a week...? Mum and Linc have Maccas every night!!!

He is growing so incredibly fast - his weight gains certainly change the way he looks - Dad definitely noticed the difference after 9 days away.

Little Zoolander

And you thought that Zoolander couldn't be beaten... Introducing...Diablo...

Linc is in a surprisingly good mood today - he's been taking ages to get to sleep at night, and had a small fever from his vaccinations, but considering that he's still got a bit of a cough, he's doing okay. He hasn't slept much this evening, so he's giving Mum a bit of grief when she's trying to feed him...but he's just sooooo tired.

What won't be okay is when Dad has to go away for 222 hours this saturday (that's about 9 days)... but Dad will be counting the hours down.

Dad's hoping Linc won't forget who he is...!
