Orem Summer Fest....two months ago

In June we attended the Orem Summer Fest! Lincoln was too little to go on the rides, but he had a good time anyway.

Afterwards, we went to another friends house for a BBQ. Lincoln had a good time playing on all their toys.

One thing we have discovered about Lincoln is his love of attacking other babies. We are going to be in trouble in a couple of months!

It's a ......

It's a BOY! Today we found out that we are having a boy! We are all so excited and can't wait until November.

Lincoln loves to Drive

Lincoln loves to be outside. In fact, he cries at the door several times a day saying bye bye over and over until we take him out or distract him. Once we get outside he walks around visiting the same spots in our garage and yard. Stop number two of this tour is the VW Bug, which he knocks on the door until we open it and let him inside.

Christmas...only 3 months late

I decided to finally post a few of the pictures from Christmas! Pulling the bowls out of the cupboard is still one of his favorite things to do.

He was obsessed with this candy cane for about two weeks, until I finally threw it away.

I don't know what I said here to get this sort of response from Ben's parents and Lincoln.

Yes, I was this excited to get toilet brush holders to match my upstairs bathrooms.

Lincoln with all his loot! But he didn't care about any of it unless he could stick it in his mouth. I am glad he has moved out of this phase.

Lincoln turned ONE!

Last month Lincoln turned ONE! We had a birthday party for him that night with family and few friends. I can't believe my little baby is already one. This year went by way too quickly. (He is blowing kisses in this picture)

Lincoln got his own piece of pizza and he was very excited!

His favorite gift was this workbench from Grandma and Grandpa Jones.

When I tried to make him open his next gift, he was confused why we took his workbench away from him when he just started playing with it.

Then when other kids started to play with it, the crying began.

He got his workbench back and shared it with his friend Izzi.

He loved his cupcake, even if every picture we have says differently.

Jed, Jill, Shelby and Taylor were there.

So was his friend Harry. Harry's parents and sister were there also, but we didn't get a good picture of all of them.

Travis, Emily and Elise came, but Elise was busy playing with the toys during picture time.

Ben's Aunt Sally and Uncle Joe with there also. Lincoln loves Sally and Joe, and they love him.

Ben's parents were there also, but for some reason we didn't get a picture of them either.

New Crib

This is the fifth time I have tried to post these pictures! Lincoln finally got a crib! Okay, this was about two months ago. He has been sleeping in a Pack and Play, which actually I would have kept doing but you can't pass up a good deal on a crib. Here is the Photo Shoot of his first experience in a crib. PS - He had a haircut the day after we took these pictures, so he looks less homeless now.

Halloween

I didn't take any pictures of Lincoln on Halloween, so I was going to force him back into his costume today for a photo shoot. Ben's mom just posted these on Facebook, so it looks like I won't have to anymore.
