Not a very good blogger

I have realized I am not a very good blogger. And this fantasy idea of blogging all these great moments in our lives, was well, a nice fantasy idea. I don't know how I expected myself to do it, and I only have 1 kid! Oh well, doesn't the intention matter more?

Updates:
Lincoln - is amazing.


Just kidding, i will write more. Lincoln lately has learned how to high five and clap. He is still a huge fan of his baths. In fact, whenever I run the water in the tub, he crawls as fast as he can to the bathroom, pulls himself up on the edge of the tub, and proceeds to bounce and squeal and attempt to give me a hug (or he is trying to launch himself in by using my body!) It is priceless! He also loves to call dad at work, and babbles to Stephen. Very cute. He also likes to pull himself up on the coffee table and proceed to bang his hands, for a very long time! Oh and there are certain commercials he just has to watch when the tv is on. There is no consistancy in which ones, but if you are in the way when he decides he needs to see that particular commercial he will get around you one way or another. He also recently remembered he that he likes to blow bubbles with his lips - you know like when you blow and lips vibrate. Last night he started in kitchen, I picked him up, carried him to our room. Set him on the bed, filled up his bottle. Still blowing. Picked him up again, carried him to his room. Still blowing, lots of drool running down his face. Sat down in our chair and made him stop by putting the bottle in his mouth. Lincoln finished drinking his bottle, I pulled it out, and he resumed blowing bubbles, right where he left off!

Stephen: Was recently made "Director of Building Futures" - i know, impressive! He is working very hard, but still manages to be home every night for supper and tries not to work too much from home on the weekends. He is learning so much, and being stretched and challenged in ways never before, but he is rising to the challenges and kicking butt! We are so proud of him. He has been enjoying Lincoln more than ever, if that is even possible. And he is very glad that Lincoln is finally out of the "I only want mommy stage".

Cher: Well I am still at home, my recent challenge has been figuring out what to do when I go back to work in a few short months. I also have been exhausted as my dear boy likes to wake up every 2-3 hours. I also have been warming up to the idea of having another baby. We will see what happens! Speaking of the little boy, he just woke up from a nap. Gotta run!

Linc's first babbles

After a solid 2 months of us saying, "Lincoln, say da-da." Or, "Lincoln, say ma-ma" he has finally started babbling a little bit. He has a vocabulary of 3 words. Ma-ma - which he only says when he is crying. Da - da which he likes to say in the early mornings or when I use the phone during the day. But his favorite word is "blah-blah-blah". Is that all he hears when i speak? He is just like his da-da!

It was a nice thought

When I was pregnant I had this nice thought of capturing all the wonderful moments in small families life in a blog, keep them all fresh and alive for my children to read when they are older. It was a nice thought. Now I see that even though I am busy, doing mostly nothing, all day, blogging has taken a back seat. Sometimes I lay in bed as I am drifting off to sleep at an hour much too late, and record a memory in my head And the writing is fantastic. But then once morning comes, I have forgotten all about the event i was going to write about. Could it possibly be because i was up every 2 or 3 hours with Lincoln? Probably. I hope to keep writing, at least about the big stuff. And the small stuff too. Because sometimes the greatest memories are the forgotten ones. Then one someone says, "Do you remebmer when...." and you searching your brain for that memory, and then it comes back like rushing wave and you exclaim, "yes!" that's the best. (Except if you are like me, and have a horrible memory and you so yes but really mean no.)
