One Little Monkey Jumping on the Bed

Here are a few "firsts" to catch you up...

Lincoln's first MAKE OVER. I was busy unpacking (we just recently moved into a new place) when it suddenly got very quiet which could only mean one thing...Lincoln was being naughty. I turned around to find him chewing on my eyeliner...

Lincoln's first SNOW DAY! Have you ever seen A CHRISTMAS STORY? Where the kids mom dresses him in so many layers before he went out into the snow he couldn't really walk? Well, that's kind of what happened here but not entirely on purpose, the only snow outfit that Jimmy and Kira had at their house was a 4T.

Lincoln's first FIGHT!! You should see the other guy...Thomas, Lincoln and I were at a small furniture store looking for a couch. The owner turned around to show me something and didn't see Linc right behind him. He knocked him face first onto the concrete floor and blood was instantly all over the place. I tried not to be one of those moms who screamed and panicked (as much as I wanted to because this was the first time he really ever bled). Needless to say he gave us a really good deal.

Lincoln got his first CRIB!! (he's been living in a pack and play). Grandpa Johnson made this beautiful crib for him and he LOVES it!!

Our "Hole in ONE" Year Old!!

We had a birthday party for our sweet boy today (two weeks early of his actual birthday because my family was in town this weekend and we wanted them to be apart of it). The party theme was GOLF, go figure! I wish I had a better full body shot of Lincoln in his cute outfit but this was the best I could do. These adorable golf pants were made by his Nana.

There is a previous blog post about how strict I am with Lincoln having sugar. Well my mom taught me a very important life lesson at a very young age "All rules go out the window on your birthday" (which for her meant we didn't have to make our bed, we got breakfast in bed, and all diets were on hold for a day). So here's to you mom...All rules out the window...

Ok this picture is more of a side note, I half expected him to destroy this cake and then this picture came along as if he's asking with his eyes if its ok.

So he started off taking normal one year old sized bites. OK honestly, is this my son?

At first he was more worried about his hands being dirty.

And then the true Secor/Johnson came out of him and he went to town...

First by the handful...

And then by the fist-full

By far best picture, it pretty much speaks for itself.

Happy Birthday Lincoln!

Halloween

I know I've been bad about blogging and I promise to get better once we get settled into an apartment but just to keep you updated here is a picture of Lincoln's first Halloween...We were Charlie Brown (Lincoln), Lucy (me), and Linus (Thomas). Just a little bit of information, when I looked up how to spell Linus online for this post it had a description of all of the characters (I did not know this before Halloween or else I probably would have chosen different Halloween costumes)

Charlie Brown- The main character; a loveable loser

Linus Van Pelt- Charlie Brown's blanket-toting best friend; Sally's love interest.

Lucy Van Pelt- Linus' older sister; a bossy girl.

Haha...Ooops! There's always next year. Sorry my "Loveable Loser"!

Love, "A Bossy Girl"

2+1= FUN!!!

Lauren and Greg came to visit this last week from Texas and they brought along Lincoln's twin cousins Ethan and Kate. Here is a quick snap shot of what they did together...

Ring around the rosie (with Nana), A pocket full of posies,

Ashes! Ashes!

We all fall down!

Kate talked with Lincoln about what its like to be a big kid...

And Ethan taught Lincoln how to share...

Kate and Ethan...O wait, that's Kate and Lincoln sitting on their favorite "my size bench"...
We had so much fun with them this past week. We went to the beach, and played at the park and when the kids finally went to sleep at 7:30 exhausted from the day all of the grown ups stayed up playing card games till all hours of the night. They left Thursday to go back to Texas and though we enjoyed sleeping in on Friday, Linc didn't know what to do with himself the rest of the day...
Come visit again soon!!!!

The Beach

First time touching the water. It was kind of cold for him so he didn't like it very much. But after a few attempts he decided it was a lot of fun.
First time walking in the sand. At first he kept trying to lift his feet really high to get them out of the sand but after a few steps he was in love.
And this is one of my all time favorite pictures...
