Baby Face Contest

So an update on the Zellers Baby Face Contest. We didn't hear anything. Obviously Zellers doesn't know anything about cute babys. They suck.

Grow up! Don't Grow up!!

The other night I helped Cameron at his youth group. Most of the kids are about 12 and extremely, let's see, trying. I came home, picked up Linc, and told him to stay this age until he was 21, then he could just jump ahead, skipping all that annoying stuff in between. Everyday I watch him grow bigger, learn new things and everyday I wish he would stay right where he is. And everyday I can't wait until he is a little bigger, until he can talk, walk, run and finally hug me back! So i guess I want him to hurry up and stop growing!

A true man


Linc has this weird obsession with anything electronic. The portable phone, remote and black berry & cell phone are his absolute favorite things. I have actually started letting him play with the remote as I try to change him because it is the only thing he will stay still for long enough for me to finish the deed. The other day we were playing on the floor and I was texting someone and set the cell on the floor when I was done. So he goes for it right away, so I move it away and put a toy in front of him. He literally pushes the toy out of the way and goes for the phone again! Everyday we call papa (stephen) at work on speaker phone - he gets this HUGE smile on his face every time! Its priceless! All things technological he loves, just like a true man.

6 months is the BEST!

Wow a lot has happened in the last month! I was writing in Linc's baby book and filling in the small spot that is for all the things that happened when he is 6months, and I ran out of room!

#1 Our little gaffer got his first 2 teeth! He was cute before but he is incredibly cute now. I keep trying to get a picture of them, but its a little hard!

#2. He has started eating solids! So exciting. So far we have tried sweet potato, butternut squash, carrots, green beans, peas, apples, pears, and bananas. The only one he isn't really feeling is the sweet potato, I think he might be a little allergic. Not sure though.

#3. Um, he drinks from a CUP! Its hilarious. He loves to have us help him drink water from a glass. He chews on it while we pour a little water in his mouth - very funny, but he can't get enough!

#4. We set up the jolly jumper (finally) the other day. Ok, if you have a child or are going to have a child, the jolly jumper is a must! He can't get enough of it. He just jumps around laughing and talking and trying to defend himself from all of Roxy's kisses. He even started making some new noises the other day - "d". The first time he used the jolly jumper, when I took him out his little armpits were a little sweaty!

#5. He has started to hang out on his hands and knees, not just his belly. He is so getting ready to move. Roxy has also started playing with Lincoln while Linc is on the floor playing. She will lay don beside Linc and let Linc try and grab her paws. She will also try and get the toys linc is playing with.

#6. We have had to start bathing him in the sink again. For the longest time we would bath him in the big tub with just a little water, but now that the little boy doesn't understand the meaning of staying still or on his back, he automatically flips onto his tummy when we put him in the tub and then proceeds to get so excited he rocks his body back and forth, creating a wave, which ends up in his face. So we are back to where we started until he can sit on his own better. Doesn't seem to matter where we bath him, he also manages to get me all wet.



I think I said this last month, but this last month has been my favorite time with him! 6 months is the BEST!
