Lincoln's Fort

There are a few interesting things that have happened in and around the Gates home over the past couple of days. All of this has been happening in the midst of coughs, sneezes & runny noses, but Lincoln and Lydia have not been letting their symptoms stop them.
First of all, Lincoln and Mommy built a fort in his room! He's napped and spent the night in his fort, and he's really into it! The details are in the video below.
This morning Lincoln made a finger-paint piece for his fort, and that was a lot of fun.
There are a couple of robins that have made our back yard their home, and one of the females is trying to build a nest on our deck. She's not having much luck right now, but she's persistent, so we're waiting to see if we'll have a finished product along with eggs then nestlings.
As far as Lydia's solids go, there are some times when she's interested and other times where she's not. Today was a "not."
Her coordination is getting better, though, and she's been taking her pacifier in and out of her mouth with better skill.
Also, she's been experimenting big-time with her voice. She's funniest after she wakes up, and we'd laugh in the morning if she didn't wake us up 1 hour earlier than any of us really need to wake up.


Also, Atlas Shrugged pt.1 comes out in less than a week. Here's another scene from the movie:
