Here's a link to our blog: http://www.jessijamesgang.blogspot.com/ (to view the videos of our eight-month-old little bandito).
May 30, 2012 - Clapping
June 4, 2012 - Walking Practice (sorry for the sideways video - I always forget that I don't know how to turn the videos.)
June 4, 2012 - More walking practice - the first time we used this little 'walker' I was worried that Lincoln's hands would get ahead of his feet and he would fall on his nose. Now he seems to have the toy under control - except for the steering part.
June 4, 2012 - Walking Lincoln's favorite way - with Dad's hands for balance (and James is only letting Lincoln use one hand). Lincoln is SO excited to be motoring around!
Lincoln is getting pretty mobile using his bum-scoot. It is pretty cute to seem him spin and change directions on his bum. He's not very fast, so he doesn't escape from view yet. I put Linc on his hands and knees and he managed to work his way onto his bum so that he could scoot.
We keep trying to give Lincoln practice at crawling, but Linc is determined to walk. He walks along the furniture and walks holding our hands (he's much more confident when holding onto our hands) and walks using the rolling toy walker (did you see how Linc was reaching for James' hand while using the walker in the video?). Linc can't stand up by himself yet. But when he's holding onto our hands, Lincoln can lean down and pick things off the floor and stand back up again. So fun to watch his motor skills develop.
He's getting so smart too. Definitely starting to voice an opinion. When we're 'walking' and I steer Lincoln in a direction he doesn't want to go, he "tells" me about it (squawk!) and turns his whole body in the direction he wants to go.
Want to come play with us?
