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!

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.
