Hiking and a lil’ bit of Lincoln

I have really been wanting to get into hiking this summer and don’t know what child carriers work best. I have looked online and they range in price of $100-$300. If you have one let me know the positives and negatives of it and what you wish you had or didn’t have. 

Anyways…

Scott and I went on a small hike up “R” mountain. I love, love hiking and since we had Lincoln we haven’t gone much. We left around 2:45 and started up the mountain. Lincoln was due for a nap, but as soon as we stepped outside he was happy! We used our old baby carrier that is a little too small, but it worked for this short 2 mile hike.

Lincoln would get really excited and start jumping up and down and laughing.

Just the three of us!

When we got to the top it was pretty windy so we down a little to have our lunch.

When we got back to the car Lincoln sat there smiling at us for half the ride.

and then he was out. When we got home he took a 3 hour nap.. he was so tired, he almost slept through a diaper change. I love how mobile babies are. You can take them to do whatever you want and when you get back they sleep better than ever!

Now that Lincoln is better we have been playing outside a lot. It still is pretty cold so we only go out a few hours a day.

 

Lincoln took 4 steps at 11 months and a few here and there but he still hasn’t walked much. He is starting to walk back and forth from Scott and I and is actually showing an interest. Maybe he will walk good when his grandma Roberts comes to visit.

I put Lincoln’s crackers outside so he wouldn’t make a mess but he kept bringing them inside and would eat them right in front of the door. So, I put three out there and he grabbed one in each hand and one in his mouth and crawled back inside. Basically, my wood floor don’t stand a chance. I literally sweep like 5 times a day.

Oh my baby is so messy…
