Stats


Lincoln is in the 90th percentile for weight and 100+ for height...according to the Doctor, he is the average height of a 3 year old. Good thing we got him a basketball hoop!


Christmas Tree on a Mirror




This was yesterday's activity that I forgot to post (before Linc received all his shots). I saw this idea on Pinterest but they did it on paper, I get bored doing all of our art projects on paper, so we took it to the mirror...


I painted his hand and we made a Christmas Tree then I gave him some water colors and I let him "decorate" the tree. (it basically just ran paint down the mirror but he had fun doing it)












New Toy




Lincoln has had a hard week. He's had a cold since Sunday and yesterday I took him to the Dr.'s and they gave him 5 shots. Today he woke up really early crying and he has hardly been able to walk all day. Long story short he's been miserable lately. Anyways, Jimmy and Kira got him a birthday present that cheered him right up...


Lightning McQueen is a magnet board that you can stick different exteriors on to and they also got him an activity book. Needless to say, this has totally brightened up his day! Thank you!!

Christmas Wreaths




Today we made Christmas wreaths. These are usually made using corn flakes and cinnamon candy but we did rice crispy treats and M&M's because I'm not a huge corn flake fan and Linc won't eat the cinnamon candy.











And we had an even bigger treat because Thomas was home! Lincoln has been doing this cheesy smile for the camera lately where he won't open his eyes and he keeps sneaking bites of the craft (which isn't all that crazy) but I wonder where he gets it...











Twins!

O Christmas Tree!


This activity requires three ingredients:


I used popsicle sticks instead of knives and I'm glad I did because I figured this would happen...


We painted the ice cream cone with green frosting.





And then decorated with m&m's...











I couldn't tell or not if he snuck a few bites...


The finished products...


And the best part...

Happy Birthday Lincoln!!



I can't believe we have a two year old!! Today is Lincoln's birthday and last night while he was sleeping we filled his room with balloons and his new basketball hoop/ basketball. When he woke up this morning the first thing he said was "wow!".

Next we had breakfast, pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles and his other favorite thing in this world...turkey sausage! This was the first time in his whole life he's completely finished a meal and asked for more!!





After breakfast, more basketball! He's really good! We had to raise the height of the basketball hoop twice to try to give him more of a challenge. He started doing lay ups while lifting a leg!!


Exhausted!


I don't think he completely understands that it's his birthday but he fully understands that something exciting has been happening all day and he is more than thrilled to be apart of it!
I am so grateful for this cute boy he bring so much joy and happiness to our family! And he is more loved than he will ever know! Happy Birthday Lincoln!!

Dance Party!


Today we had a dance party! If you're one of my neighbors, be sad you didn't look out your window and see this! (If you are confused by that statement please see my post from yesterday and picture that large physique jumping around, enough said!) I tried to take the best pictures I could, Linc gets more into it when I'm dancing with him. Also, I didn't realize how dirty my camera lens was until I saw these pictures...sorry!

Here's some pictures too. This is Linc's serious face when he moves his knees in and out


Half the time his dancing is on the ground spinning around...











Exhausted, taking a break...(once again his famous pose)
