Hey, guys! This is part 17 of Lincoln's memories! You can read the other parts here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. It is about Rita giving Lincoln his bottle, and I have some good news: I remember a while back, someone was waiting for the story of Lincoln's sixth birthday. Well, that's the next part after this, so you can look forward to it next Monday! For now, though, I hope you enjoy this part.
It was an ordinary Wednesday morning in the Loud house and Rita, Lynn Sr., and their six kids-- seven-year-old Lori, six-year-old Leni, five-year-old Luna, four-year-old Luan, three-year-old Lynn Jr., and one-year-old Lincoln, were eating breakfast.
The girls were having Rice Krunchies, while Lincoln was having peach puree-- Lynn Sr. had been making it ever since Lori learned to eat solid food and it was a hit with all the Loud children in their infancy.
"I've finished first!", said Lynn, holding her hands up triumphantly before going to put her empty bowl in the kitchen.
Next to finish was Luan, who drank the remaining milk and, upon noticing that she had a "milk mustache", began talking in a deep voice, like a man, before wiping it off.
When everybody was done, Rita said, "Now, Lincoln turned one this morning so today's the day we start putting him on the bottle! Do you want to see him take his first bottle?"
"Yes!", said the sisters excitedly.
Lori remembered seeing Lynn take her first bottle, but for the others, this was the first time they remembered seeing one of their siblings taking their first bottle, and even though Lori had seen Lynn, she was still excited for her little brother.
Lynn Sr. filled up a bottle of milk, while Rita picked up Lincoln, then Lynn Sr. handed the bottle to Lincoln.
He took the bottle in his hand, then wrapped the other hand around Rita's neck.
The sisters all squealed, and Lynn Sr. got teary-eyed, at this sweet sight.
Then, Lincoln began to drink.
"This is the way he drinks his milk," sang Luna.
"I'm literally so proud of him," said Lori.
Lincoln drank until there was no more milk left, then Rita sat him down on the floor and everyone went upstairs to get ready for work, school, and daycare.
