LINCOLN IS TWO MONTHS OLD!

11/10/08 I can’t believe my little man is already two months old. He is developing and changing so fast. Lincoln had his Two-Month Check-Up and he had already grown so much! He is now 11 pounds 12 ounces and is already 24 ¾ inches long! He is in the 96% for his height and has very long feet – he is going to be a tall guy! When the nurse gave Lincoln his shots, he let out a cry I have never heard before and it just about broke my heart. It was so sad to see his tears, but it was even harder to say goodbye to him shortly after. I felt like I left a piece of my heart with him as I drove away to go back to work full-time. The week before, I was fortunate enough to bring him with me to work for a few hours each day.

My heart is very heavy knowing that I have to lock part of myself away for a time and be without him. He is in good hands though, as Lincoln is lucky to spend a lot of time with his daddy during the day! We are thankful too that we have sweet grandmas who are excited to help us out. Anthony, Grandma Shirley and Grandma Nancy even brought him to visit me at work a few days this week so that I could feed him. It made me so happy to see my little guy. It melts my heart that he will smile and coo at me as soon as I see him. I love that!! He is such a sweet baby and is smiling and making cute sounds all of the time – he is adorable! It is hard to be away from him, but I am grateful to have an amazing job and an incredibly supportive family.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

10/31/08 Little Lincoln had a really fun first Halloween! We dressed up as 101 Dalmatians…he looked adorable! Roxy was a little Dalmatian too…she had white spray painted spots…so cute! I dressed up as Cruella Deville and Anthony was Horace, the puppy snatcher; he looked awesome! Lincoln went with me to work to see everyone and eat lunch with Uncle Eric. After that we visited Grandma Leslie at school and said hi to all of her school kids. Then we went to visit Grandpa Lane and hung out with him at his work for awhile. After Anthony got home from work, we visited the Alleman’s and saw Grandma Nancy, Grandpa Glen, Aunt Ruby, Uncle Sam, Cousins Eli and Brooks, Aunt Ann and Great-Grandma and Grandpa Warner at their house. We also went to Grandma Shirley’s and Grandpa Pres’s house to see Aunt Caitlin and Colbie and have some yummy scones! Megan and Chris Hart stopped by and Lincoln got to see his buddy Addie!
