Big boy bed?

On a whim we decided to change Lincoln's bed...but is he ready to be in a bed? The real question is are we, his parents, ready for him to be in a bed? Are we ready to give up some of that freedom parents get from a crib? Well, Lincoln was excited for the little change and we decided to give it a shot. For at least one day and one night. 


Little did we know the expression on his face was telling us of things to come. Lincoln loved the bed but it gave him a little too much opportunity to roam and play instead of sleeping. He fell asleep great and we went to check on him and he was by the door. We thought that might happen. But the real fun happened the next morning. Instead of waking up to Lincoln yelling mom or dad we woke up to a very loud banging coming from his room. We went down and get him and he had his plastic bat hitting the door. He really wanted out! It was hilarious but we prefer to hear him yelling.  
Then it was time for a nap...that didn't happen. The only way he is getting a big boy bead now is if we take out all his toys! Oh boy! This growing up business is tough stuff!!! But for now Lincoln is staying in a crib. Sorry buddy...soon...maybe.

Valentines!

Now that I have a couple of shelves to put decorations on I got festive for Valentines Day. 
 I made my little fuzzy tree using a boa, a paper cone, and some hot glue...easy!


 I love this quote and finally found a way to use it!

Nursery...here he comes!

It's official! Lincoln is 18 months old today! And do you know what that means? NURSERY!!!! I haven't been so excited to go to church before :) Ok, just kidding, but really it was awesome! And the best part is Lincoln loves it! Yes, it is only his first time but he went right in and didn't look back. And he didn't want to leave when church was over. Love it!

Lincoln at 18 months...
*Counts to 3 by himself (10 with help)
*Always says thank you...he is so polite when he wants to be
*Loves blowing/giving kisses and giving hugs
*Likes to ask why ALL THE TIME!
*Loves, LOVES playing outside even when it's so cold!
*Definitely a techie! He looks for the ipad 1st thing every morning. 
*He is quite the chatter box and if he thinks you aren't listening he will come up to your face as close as he can get and say mom over and over. 
*He never EVER stops moving! Summer will be so nice! 
Love you lots little boy :)

Christmas morning!

All the way up the stairs Lincoln kept saying WOW over and over again. It was like he hadn't seen the tree lit before. It was funny. I have to admit, Christmas is definitely more fun with kids. It was a blast watching and listening to Lincoln open his presents. Every time he got to open a new gift he started to giggle. :) And then everything went into his mouth...still! Will he ever get over that?!














 Chris got a nerf gun and can't wait til Lincoln gets one too :)


Bowling

We decided to go bowling for family night and of course Lincoln got to try too. He loved it! And then we played skittle bowling...assigned each color a different action...left handed, granny, backwards granny, no eyes. It was comical!
