Another video...

So I realized that the video below of Lincoln eating rice cereal doesn't show him attacking the spoon very well. So here is another view that is a little clearer. He cracks us up!

New Year = New Goal

One goal I just thought of for my blog is to make sure I make more posts in the months to follow then in years past on my blog. Now, that is easy to beat for 2006 and 2007 considering I never even wrote in January. And this post makes it even with blog posts for 2008, so only one more post to go. This might seem lame to some of you but to me, I think it will be a challenge, especially in Oct and Dec...

Yummy in my Tummy

"What, another picture of me?!?!"

This was Lincoln's first solids this weekend (when his aunts Aubrie and Maggie and uncle Nate were here - we had a blast with them here too). He absolutely loved rice. This is just one of the many videos we got of it. I think he is kinda scared of Luke's laugh in it and everybody else just watching and laughing at him. He would just attach the spoon every time. He was such a cutie. Since then he has gotten much better with thicker rice.

I realize that pretty much everything has been about Lincoln but really he is our life now. To update a bit.... Rachel started her nursing program last week. It is going well, it will be busy and fun, but she is also nervous and hopes she does well as a nurse (ya know with IV's and shots and giving meds). Very glad it is part time and Luke can watch Lincoln when she is gone. Luke continues to work long and hard at work. Life is really good and there MIGHT be some more exciting news in the future, but we will see. Here are some extra pictures of Linc from the past few weeks. He is just too cute.

My man, the computer savy guy at 5 months old.


He loves his exersaucer. He will dance the night away.


Found out he loves paper... I think he ate a little...oops!


Thuggin' it!


So this is how he slept until....

... he's been a rolling machine...

...can't get him to stop rolling over... should I be worried?


This is for you Liz... sorry it is a little late, but I thought I would put it up. Thanks for the outfit, he loves it!


And this is to show you our food storage that I so neatly organized recently... I love it!

Rolly Polly

I can't believe how fast our little guy is growing up.  He likes to roll front and back all the time... what a cutie!

Sledding and New Years

Cousins, oh cousins!
Lincoln actually enjoyed the sledding.  He was laughing although you can't tell because it was so cold on his face that it was hard to smile.  Isn't  he just so cute?!?!
Here I am pulling him.  And videos below of the little adventure.


This was for New Year's, we stayed up and played games... I had to put goof on my forhead and my nephew had to keep a spoon in his mouth.  We had lots of fun!  Unfortunately, we didn't take more pictures, but you can imagine the night... ha:)

Christmas Time

We spent Christmas Eve with Luke's family and it was a blast. Luke's mom made these really cool hats for everyone in the family. We wore them all the time after that - even around the house. Linda (Luke's sister) likes to make funny faces, so I joined in... little did she know I would post it on the blog. Lincoln had a totally awesome first Christmas with a new Christmas outfit that he pooed on right away. He even got Lincoln Logs for Christmas and I think that might be a pattern in the years to come. Here he is opening his book from Grandma and Grandpa Wittwer. It is the coolest book that spells out Lincoln's name -- thanks again! Here are our cool stockings. I have had mine for years and years (my Grandma made it for me) and the Luke's stocking also came from my Grandma. However, Lincoln's is just temporary until I get around to making him a stocking. I have a whole other year to get going on it.
