The Davenport Den: Lincoln is 1!

Lincoln turned 1 on March 30th and his birthday ended up being celebrated over the span of a week. His actual birthday was a pretty low key day and then we did a cake/singing little party on Easter sunday with family. It was a fun week where we learned that my "texture challenged" little boy isn't so much a fan of cake, is okay with the taste of icing, but loves banana pudding! Brad and I were talking last week and both agreed that this was the fastest year of our lives but has been so much fun. Lincoln is cruising around everything now. We have to be way more alert as to where he is all the time now. He is pulling up on anything he can now and is pushing his walking toys up and down the hallway now. Just the past week he FINALLY figured out how to sit himself up from laying down on his stomach or back (I know, we are surprised it took him that long as well). He is currently only doing this in his crib and is always out of the view of the camera so we are not sure how he does it yet but we know he can because he is standing there in his crib when we come find him. At his 1 year check up, Lincoln weighed in at a very heavy 19 lbs 4 ozs (5th percentile) and is 28.8 inches tall (16th percentile). His doctor seemed really pleased with his progress and thinks he will be walking on his own by 15 months. Here are pictures of Lincoln's birthday so enjoy!
