177/365 Visiting Uncle Matt and Aunt Abby

We went over Matt and Abby's to retrieve our fancy dining room chairs that they borrowed. We had pizza and hung out a bit. Lincoln had a good time strolling around the driveway.

Dude has got some wicked dance moves:



He's such a nut:





Happy boy!:

174-176/365 Here and There

We hadn't taken Linc to Eagle Creek for quite a while, so we packed him up for a little bit of jogging. He actually did a lot better than before the trip to Mexico. He didn't start crying about being in the stroller until the very end. Afterward, we let him out to do a little bit of exploring


He looks like Yoda with his walking stick in this picture. (174):





Angela went to the Flying Cupcake yesterday and brought us some! (175):



Here Linc is roaming about the house in a diaper. Who needs clothes?! (176):







Dancing to the music:

173/365 Extinct?

I bet you all thought the Lincosaurous was extinct. You were wrong, friends, you were wrong.

171 &172/365 The Theme Continues

So the "Let's Put Things on Linc's Head To See How Mad He Gets" theme continued yesterday! Alas, I *think* this is the last in the series for at least a little while. He looks like a little gangsta. hehe (171):


And today I finally got around to taking the pictures for Grant's Father's Day gift. I was so swamped with Mexico, wedding, month day, etc. that I haven't had a chance to do them. Then it was all rainy and gross out. Grant hasn't seen them yet. I'm going to print them and put them in a frame for him. He doesn't usually check the blog (I know, my own husband doesn't read my blog! How rude, right? LOL) so I think I'm safe to go ahead and post them. (172):

156-170/365 All Caught Up Yo!

Another trip to the beach! Linc is smiling here b/c he loves the bucket. Once he realized he was sitting in sand he was less than thrilled (156):

On the beach with the grandparents!:






Dad, Grant, Abby, and Matt headed into town this day while Mom, Linc, Angie, and I hung out at our hotel room private pool area. Here is my lovely mother hanging out in the hammock (157):





Linc had a grand time collecting little bits of Mexican nature and making a gift of them to everyone:








The day before they left Abby and Matt let me take some shots of them at the beach! It was a lot of fun! (158):





Later that same evening Linc got all dolled up for our last dinner in Mexico! People couldn't get enough of him in his sailor suit:




How cute is this guy?:






Our last day at the resort consisted of waking up, eating breakfast, and then letting Linc roam around the lobby charming people for the very last time (this was one of his favorite past times) (159):






I love hats on babies. I think they are so cute. Unfortunately, Lincoln does not share my fondness. I bought this awhile back b/c it was only like $2 on clearance at Children's Place. I bought it despite the fact that I knew Stincs would never keep it on his head. Well, since he was forced to wear a hat strapped to his head every day while in Mexico, I think he forgot to fight tooth and nail to get that sucker off! LOL, he actually kept it on for quite a while. (160):






The Sunday after we got back we headed to Martinsville for a Benge Family get together. Look at my pretty baby! (161):


Linc played a little corn hole:



This is his cousin who was born a month before him:






Linc missed his toys! (162):




Angry face!!!:








Linc has become Mr. Clingy recently(163):




We were a week later than usual with his monthly picture, but we got it done! Of course Grant and I were both dreading it, but we managed to get it done in the first few shots! Thankfully, this will be the last of this type of shot b/c I am doing something different for his yearly picture.(164):







This is a quick snap I took. Clayton and Grant got a new Monster Hunter game and Grant was reading the instructions and Linc thought he would climb up and help. (165):



Happy boy! (166):



Visiting with Grandpa George on Father's Day. (167):







Since Linc as become more willing to let us put hats on his head, we thought we would explore other fancy head gear options. This is his Devo look. (168):


Is the swim diaper on the head taking it too far? Linc thinks so. (169):

We (finally) got around to unpacking from Mexico trip. Those bags have just been sitting around staring at us for the past week. Ugh, unpacking is the worst! Anyway, Linc was being such a funny guy while I was unpacking. He would walk into the room with a toy, look at me, hold out the toy, and yell "AHHHH" then walk out to find a new one to show me.




Then he came in, climbed on the bed to help unpack. He LOVES taking things out of the suitcase (or laundry basket, recycle bin, etc.). He grabbed one of Grants shirts and was dragging it around, so I thought I would put it on and snap the top snap so he could have a cape. He walked all the way in the kitchen to show Grant (or maybe he was just trying to get away from crazy mom who likes to subject him to things like this). Either way, Grant thought it looked like he was wearing a trench coat and thought it would be cute to put his fedora on him. Hehe (170):


And there we have it! I'm all caught up! Whew, I never want to get that far behind again!

149-155/365 Hola!

Hey all! Long time no see! We got back from Mexico early Sat. morning and have been trying to get back into the normal swing of things. I am trying really hard to get caught up on pictures so that my 365 is current, but I took SO many pictures in Mexico that it is taking a bit of time. Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and post some that I have done so that I'm not coming back with like 20 days worth of pictures. So without further ado:

Lincoln loved looking out the sliding door in our room. We had our own private pool out there! (149):



Abby, Lincoln and Angie hanging out by the pool (150):





The group rented a private boat to take us out to some good snorkeling spots! Linc was the captain! (151):




Unfortunately Linc wasn't too fond of the beach b/c he hated getting the sand on him. Here he is with his daddy, trying to figure out how to not touch it with his feet. (152):


He hated it on his hands the most:



These uploaded a little backward, but earlier that same day Grandma, Grandpa, Grant, Linc, and I walked around town a bit:



My beautiful sister hanging out at the pool bar (153):




Lincoln drank a little too much at the Sport's Bar and couldn't find his room (154):



Lincoln and Grant hanging out on the hammock outside our room (155):


Lincoln taking a walk on the pathway behind our building: OK! There are definitely more to come and I took a ton more and those will be uploaded to facebook. I'm really wanting to get caught up by the end of the week, but we'll see!
