Wow. Everyone has been warning me about how fast time will go by with you, but WOW month six has by far stolen the lead for fastest-flying-by-month so far of your tiny little life. And what a good month this past one has been!!! I think the most consistent compliment you get these days is how content and easy-going you are to be ANYWHERE and how you always have that charming smile swiped across your face. You've become quite the entertainment wherever we go with your "pacifier trick" (see older post) and forceful rocking (sometimes it looks like dancing) when your sitting on the floor or in your high chair.
You're eating solids consistently these days: you have cereal for breakfast, and a vegetable for lunch and one for dinner. Mommy made you carrots and sweet potatoes, but the other ones you eat are from jars (green beans, sweet peas, and squash). Your favorite is sweet peas, but really, you love them all! Mommy hasn't given you fruit yet because the doctor told me to hold off as long as possible on this one so you can get good and used to those veggies! I need another veggie-eating man in the house!
You get 5 bottles (6 oz.) throughout the day.
Your still taking about 4 naps a day! We have a little routine where we both take one of those naps together from about 5-6pm. Then you stay up longer and play with mommy and daddy which we LOVE. You're usually in a hilarious mood from then until you go to bed for the night around 9:00pm. Dad thinks you might be quite the comedian someday because you love to make us laugh and you even crack your own self up sometimes.
You usually wake up at 7:00am, but this month you did something new and AMAZING. On the weekends, you sleep till 9:00am!!! Way to go Lincoln! You're a true McMahan, apparently.
Other things you're doing these days:
* Sitting up perfectly on your own
* When you're sitting, you like to do this rocking thing back and forth...if music's on, it looks like you're dancing
* You like getting two toys in your hands and banging them together - it's very loud!
* You're VERY ticklish and I probably spend hours a day just tickling you because that laugh is priceless. Your thighs, tummy, sides, and chin are the most vulnerable.
* You finally like your tummy a lot more. You roll over on it frequently (we call it the cobra position).
* You can't crawl yet, but you're starting to bring your knees up
* You can spin in all directions on your belly and get to whatever you want if it's not too far.
* You can find your Pacifier ANYWHERE and you will do everything in your power to get to it.
* You feed yourself (we'll start sippy cups soon)
This next month should be very exciting cause we're going to Destin, FL with you for the first time! We can hardly wait to see you at the beach!! I'll be taking you to our neighborhood pool soon to get you used to the water. Oh yeah - and mommy doesn't have to work as much after next week!!!!!!
I love sweet baby and can't wait to see all your new tricks this next month!
Here you are with your new-85 pound-interum puppy. You like him (I think the feelings mutual).
You like him so much you wanna eat him.
Double the fun.

So sweet. I love knowing all the ins and outs of Little Lincoln's life. :)
I'd certainly say that if he likes to make people laugh or sleeps late in the morning then I know exactly who he got that from. Those are two things I remember very well about my childhood days with Jason and Andy! Lincoln is adorable and I hope you all have fun at the beach.
