Almost Crawling

Lincoln has really started moving around. He

can pretty much get where he wants. He is

going to be crawling before we know it. We sure

love him and are excited for all the new things he is doing.

Updates!

Well we finally got moved out of our house, and

got moved into my parents basement. We

definately couldn't have done it without the help

of Liz and Andy who came from Oregon and

my family. We are so thankful for all that we

have and for the wonderful families we have.
While Liz and Andy were here we had the

opportunity to go to the polar express in Lindon

it was a lot of fun.

Here we are on the train.

It is a cozy little train.

It was a lot of fun.

The train ride dropped us off at the North

Pole and we got to see Santa and sing Christmas

Carols. Our little family with Santa.

Lincoln with Santa. He seemed okay with him.

He didn't even cry he just kind of looked at Santa

like "who is this guy". Isn't his snow suit cute

Grandma Michelle got it for him.

Liz and Andy with Santa.

After the Polar Express ride we went to Pizza

Factory for Dinner. We had a lot of fun. What

a nice Christmas Activity.

Help!

I need help. I am having the hardest time getting Lincoln to take any sort of a nap during the day. If any one has an advice on how to get him to take naps and would like to give me any pointers that would be great!

7 Months

Our little Lincoln is 7 months old and isn't he cute.

He has grown up so much. He has the best little

smile and is so happy to see mommy and daddy.

He loves his toys and his blankets.

He is finally starting to get more hair so I

decided to give him a little mowhawk. He also

has the cutest little expressions he has so many

different faces. I am sure he gets that from his dad.

Lincoln is also starting to sit up on his own. He

would much rather stand but when we can get him

on the floor he sits pretty good. I should have

taken a picture right after this because he fell

over and wasn't so happy. He isn't very good at

balancing yet. He is also rolling now and he is all

over the place and is so curious about the things

around him.

Let the packing begin!

We've started packing up our stuff. We have invested in plastic totes, just for this reason. As you can see, we already have a lot of stuff packed. We feel like it's a drop in the bucket though. Wish us luck! I guess we should add that we are not moving far but that Craig is probably going to start back to school up at the University of Utah next fall so we want to move a little closer to Salt Lake so he doesn't have to drive so far. For now we are going to move in with my parents and look for a house in Northern Utah County.

Dinner

Lincoln loves eating food. He was so messy yesterday

eating his dinner. For some reason he had to have his

hands in his mouth after each bite. He has been kind of fussy

lately so we are wondering if he is starting to get some teeth,

I guess we will see.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. We stayed

here in Utah which hasn't happened for a really

long time. It was nice to just be home and relax.

It was just the six adults and Lincoln. Megan

and Tyler went to California we sure missed them,

but we are glad they had a good time.

We had lots of great food, more than we could

ever eat, but that is part of Thanksgiving right!

Our little family. I am so grateful for Craig and Lincoln

and all of our extended family.

This was Lincoln's first Thanksgiving he loved it.
We got him the cute Turkey bib and I fed him lots
of different food so that he wouldn't feel left out.

I got this cute Turkey idea from Hillary so I

decided to make them for my family.

They loved them and aren't they cute.

Outside!

We have recently been at my mom's house

helping her paint and one day Alex decided to

take Lincoln for a walk. We didn't have any

of our warm clothes there so we borrowed some.

Doesn't he look cute.

All bundled up. Lincoln loves walks.
Thanks Uncle Al your the best.

Picture Tag

The idea is to go to your pictures and go in the fourth
folder and pick the fourth picture and post it. Then go to

the sixth folder and get the sixth picture and post it. It is

fun to go back into those folders and dig up those old

pictures.

This is a picture of when Craig and I first started

dating. The girls are my roommates and we asked

all those guys to go to preference with us at BYU.

Craig hates this picture for the fact that I broke up

with him the very next day. Sad, I'm sorry Craig

I obviously didn't mean it.

This picture from my sixth folder is when

Craig took me to Roseburg to meet the family.

They are wonderful people and I love them and

am glad that I am part of their family now. Oregon

is a beautiful place. While I was there they took me to

see the lights at a local park. It was amazing.

I tag Megan, Loni, Hilary, Maren and Rebecca.

Lincoln

We took Lincoln to the Doctor last week for his 6 month check up

they said he is doing great. He now weighs 15 lbs 5 oz (12%),

his head is 17 (30%) and his length is 27 and 1/4 inches (75%).

He is just tall and skinny. They said he was the most curious

baby they had seen all day. He is, he wants to see, touch

and taste everything. He is now rolling over a lot more, he mostly

does it when no one is watching. He is also starting to sit

up he is getting so big. We sure love our Lincoln.

6 Months

For Lincoln's 6 Month mark we wanted to show

how much he has grown so we have posted all

6 of his pictures with the Bear. He is getting so

big and it has gone by so fast I can't believe it.

One Month
Two Months

Three Months

Four Months

Five Months

Six Months

Our baby is turning into a little man. We

have also realized that he started out

looking some what like a sack of potatoes and

not being able to do anything and now he moves

all over the place and definately has his own personality.

We sure love you Lincoln.

Cute Pictures

What a happy boy!
It's a amazing how happy he is
after he wakes up from his nap.

Lincoln got this bear from Grandma

and Grandpa Ward when they went

to Europe. He loves to play with this bear

when I am dressing him. Tonight he just

wanted to hold on to the bear. After a little

while he ended up huging the bear and didn't

want to let go. Isn't it to cute.

Lincoln and his Daddy.

What a cutie!

Halloween

Lincoln on Halloween. He was Tigger

and isn't he cute. He wasn't so sure about

wearing the costume but we sure had fun

dressing him up.

Aren't we a cute little family.
We took Lincoln trick-or-treating

to a few friends of ours it was really

just to show him off, but Craig and I

got some good candy out of it.

Megan and her boyfriend Tyler.

Don't they look great. They

were just getting ready to go to

Kelsey's Halloween party.

Craig, Lincoln and I went to mom and dad's

house for Halloween. We had our own little party.

Mom and Lincoln were the only one's who dressed up.

We had a great halloween dinner.

Grandma Michelle and Lincoln.

He didn't even seem scared of her.
Grandpa Ron and Lincoln, so cute!

Aunt Megan and our little Tigger.

Our little man

Isn't he the cutest little boy you have ever seen.

We got him a new church outfit this week

and this is his first time wearing it. It

is a 3-6 month outfit and is still to big for him.

I had to safety pin the pants.

What a cute smile.
The two cutest boys ever. I sure love you both.
Thanks Craig for being such a wonderful husband
and dad. Lincoln and I love you so much.

Pumpkins!

On Sunday we had my family come over and we had

dinner and then we carved pumpkins. We were laughing

so hard. We had so much fun carving our pumpkins.

The pumpkin on the left is mittens, we carved it for

him. Then Craig's is the one with the big smile, isn't

it great.

They all turned out so different. We all seemed to have

such great Ideas. My pumpkin is the far right, Tyler

craved it for me and then Lincoln's.

It was mittens 2nd Birthday on Saturday so we

gave him treats on a plate with a candle, he loved it.
Here we are during our craving party.

Cleaning out the pumpkins. Kel wasn't able to be

there, we missed you Kel but we were glad you had

fun at your apartment.

Oh my gosh isn't he cute. We went to a pumpkin

patch in Orem at the Vineyard and took some

great pictures of Lincoln. Isn't he so big.

Lincoln and mommy. He just woke up from a nap

so he was so happy for the pictures and seemed to

love the pumpkins even though he didn't know

what they were.

Lincoln and daddy aren't they cute together.

Those pumpkins were huge too bad we didn't get

one of those to carve.

A pumpkin just his size.

We love halloween.
