45/365 Brand New Hat Baby

So Lincoln got a super awesome new hat from his grandpa, so I decided that tonight's picture needed to feature him wearing the hat b/c, well, it is super awesome. So I take my camera out and before I can even think about putting the hat on him, Linc is climbing up my legs. This is one of his new favorite things:




So once we got the leg climbing out of the way I put the hat on his head and he immediately starts trying to pull it off. Trouble is, he hasn't quite figured out that he needs to pull up not down. So instead of getting the hat off, he succeeds in pulling it to an even more frustrating position:

In the end, the only way that I could keep the hat on him for any length of time was to distract him with a block (but don't worry folks, that hat didn't last but a few seconds after this picture was taken):

44/365 Valentine's Day Baby

We took Linc's Valentine's Day pictures today! I really wanted to find a giant heart sucker that he could stick in his mouth, but they weren't easy to find! We looked at Target, CVS, and Marsh and the closest I could find is this foil covered chocolate sucker.

Let's just say that giving a child that seems to have been birthed from Velociraptors chocolate wrapped in foil was not the greatest idea I've ever had. We were fishing foil out of his mouth after like 3 pictures! Fortunately, I got a cute one before I had to take it away:


Here is an outtake! Daddy taking his sucker away after taking a big bite:

Tired after the photo shoot! Here is my angel baby taking a nap:

After a refreshing nap he was up and at 'em! Here he is practicing with his new sippy! This one is much better and allows him to lean back without getting soaked and choked:

Looking for trouble:

41/365 Bye Bye Babies

Grant and I had our babies Sonic and Tails for the past 3 years. We haven't been able to hold them as much as they deserve to be held and loved on lately, so we contacted the girl that sold them to us. She said she would love to have them back b/c she had gotten rid of all her degus and really missed them. I'm sad. They were so awesome, but living at the house, I was always too afraid to take them out much. At the apartment, if they got away there weren't many places they could go. If they got loose here, we'd never find them again (or worse yet, Smir would)!

Grant was putting this chip clip on Linc today and Linc thought it was awesome. I, being the stick in the mud mom, thought he could hurt himself and tried to take it away. He was furious! So we compromised, he got the clip, but wasn't allowed to leave my sight with it. LOL

Here I am being a mean mom again, I took a quick picture of him after we laid him down for the night. Again, he was not pleased with me. He's all snotty and has aquaphor all over his poor little chapped face:

Since Lincoln can sit up on his own so well now, he can start taking his baths in the sink!

39/365 Pull Up Baby

Linc thinks his new skill is pretty slick! He's been pulling himself up on anything he can get his little hands on.
