MMMM Sweet Potato

We did Lincoln's first food while we were at his Grandma & Grandpa Dombowsky's this past weekend, sweet potato. He loved it. We can't wait to try more new foods with him.

Thanksgiving 2008

We went to the farm for Thanksgiving this year. It was some fun and a lot of work. Stephen's family was building an addition onto their house so it was work work work! Braden & Nina came up from Kansas and we got to meet Francesca for the first time. She is so petite and sweet, a real little girl! Ezra is getting so big, and he loved the 'traco' as he calls it! It was great having the 3 cousins together. The family will only keep getting bigger and bigger, I can't wait!

Lincolns First Cold

Lincoln got his first cold when he was exactly 6 months old. After spending 5 days in Moose Jaw for Thanksgiving and flying home on a flight that was way too early (had to be up at 4am) our little man developed his first cold. So far its not that bad, runny nose, congestion, watery eyes and a mild fever. The hardest thing is our normal jovial boy just cries and cries. The best thing is that he sleeps a lot. Is that bad to find a good thing from your child being sick? oh well..

Baby Face Contest

So I am entering Lincoln into this baby face contest. You are to submit 2 pictures: one being a head shot, and one being a full body shot. I plan to submit a nice head shot, and then a full body shot with him in his Robin Outfit. To accompany the pics is a 50 word essay on why your baby would be the perfect Zellers baby face. This is my essay: (oh and its supposed to be creative.)

Lincoln is the perfect Zellers baby face because of his awesome side kick powers. When we are at Zellers he flashes his killer grin at all the people, alerts me of amazing Zeller deals with a simple sparkle of his perfectly blue eyes, and most importantly fights evil lines by providing sidekick entertainment the way only a perfect Zeller’s Baby Face can.

His dad's looks, his mom's sense of humor

So lately Lincoln has been laughing, which is seriously the best thing in the whole entire world. But he definitely has his mom's sense of humor (Thank you Jesus) because you do something once, and he laughs, so you try it again, and he won't laugh. You always need new material with this kid. And then to top it off the general baby things you think would make him laugh don't. The most random things will make him laugh. For example he was lying on our bed tonight and Stephen and Roxy were play fighting and making lots of noise. Linc couldn't see what was going on but he could hear them, and he just starts laughing. It was hilarious. So Stephen figured it out was the jumping on the floor that was making him laugh. He definitely is a unique kid. Kind of like his uncle cam, laughs at his own thing! Which has it downs, because to you want to hear the greatest sound in the world, but it is rare and unpredictable. Maybe that is what makes it so great.

First Time Camping

So we thought it would be a good idea to go camping this year, as we love to camp. Unfortunately camping is quite different with a 4 month old. We went with our small group, everyone else was going for 2 nights, but we decided to just go for one. Best decision ever! Not only was it the hottest weekend of the year, but the bugs were brutal. Neither Linc nor I enjoyed holding him when it was like 32 degrees out. We were going to go to the beach but it was just way to hot. The 3 of us slept on a double air mattress, yea that was fun. (note sarcasm) Let's just say we all woke up pretty crabby the next morning, and decided to just head home. Glad we did it but would never do it again.

A girl?

I love my fat little boy. I love him so much. I think he is the greatest. Actually he is the greatest. He is amazing, and I love his little personality. He brings me unexplainable joy, that i only wish sometimes I knew how to express to him! I can not wait for my next child. Please let it be a girl. And please don't let it come anytime soon!
