How is this adorable guy already 9 years old!?! He is tall and handsome. He's already to my armpit and I'm sure he'll be to the top of my shoulders by the time school is out. It is crazy to me to think that in another 9 years, he will be in college. Where does the time go? Lincoln is incredibly smart. He is doing very well in the 4th grade accelerated program. Over the last six months, he has become an avid reader. He loves good novels. Every night he asks to stay up and read. He is also very talented when it comes to math. He enjoys creating and solving his own very complicated math problems, just for fun. He's a well mannered, kind, caring, kiddo who is a great student.
Lincoln is currently in swimming class and has advanced to a Shark level II. He is like a fish in the water and his long lean body allows him to cover ground quickly. Lincoln is also involved in Cub Scouts and is currently a Bear. He really enjoys the different activities they do and earning his belt loops. Lincoln also loves football. We love watching NFL games together and rooting for our favorite team...the Cardinals. He still wants to be an NFL player when he grows up.
His favorite foods include Philly steak sandwiches from Subway with pepper jack cheese and banana peppers, also hamburgers from McDonalds, medium buffalo wings and ice cream. He also loves chocolate! He loves music and loves to dance! His beat boxing skills are definitely improving. Recently he is all about Minecraft, Yugi-yo cards, and bay blades. He is an incredible builder in Minecraft on his iPad.
Lincoln has the ability to be incredibly sweet and caring. He loves to give hugs and kisses to us all the time and one on one can be super helpful. Lincoln tries hard to be a good big brother, but, sometimes he struggles to have patience with him. We are working to teach them that "brothers are best friends" and that his little brother looks up to him. I am certain it will be easier for them as they get older but for now it can be a challenge.
We love him to the "moon and back" and "no matter what!" We are so incredibly blessed to have his sweet spirit in our family. I can't imagine life without him. While I miss having a tiny little guy to cuddle, I am excited for him to continue to learn and grow and do great things! Happy birthday, love bug, Lincoln Bear!
Birthday morning!
Lincoln's best friends - Thomas, Jimmy and Lincoln at his special birthday lunch that I got to join him for.
Lincoln chose Melting Pot for his birthday dinner.
