Too many cooks in the kitchen

Every time I'm cooking in the kitchen Lincoln always asks to "look look" so I usually will pull up a chair for him to kneel on and watch me cook. Well, today I let him get a little more hands on with dinner and he knelt down on the chair and stirred for about 20 min. I couldn't get a picture of him smiling because I couldn't get him look away from what he was doing.

"treat" necklace

Last Sunday Lincoln got new nursery leaders and after nursery he ran up to me (literally) in the hallway with the biggest smile on his face, holding something out toward me, yelling "Treat! Treat!" They had made necklaces with cereal on them and he was in LOVE!! So I couldn't help myself for our craft this week we recreated these treasures and they were almost as big of a hit the second time around.

Daddy and me

This is one of my favorite pictures! I walked into the room to find Thomas and Lincoln cuddling on the couch. I love them!!

Big brother in training

Last Christmas Nana got Lincoln a baby so we have been using the baby a lot lately during play time. I totally consider it a training tool for baby number two!
So today we made a bed for the baby in Lincoln's wagon and practiced putting the baby to sleep.



Lincoln has about ten blankets that he is obsessed with which is nice because he can have any one of the ten and be completely happy, anyways, Linc refers to them as "keys". So during "big brother in training" time we laid the baby down and I told Linc to give the baby a "keys" so he could sleep...it took me a long time to realize Linc thought I was telling him to give the baby a "kiss" haha. So cute!

Here it is!

There have been many requests to see videos of Lincoln "talking". He does actually say a lot of REAL words but since he was ten months old he has been talking like this...and NO I have no idea what he's saying.

This last one is my absolute favorite!!! Lincoln laughs every time he watches it. He'll watch the first two videos but he replays this last one over and over.

Lincoln's first bubble bath!

Mr. Bubbles makes a gentle bubble bath which is amazing! At first Lincoln didn't want to put his legs in it



Then he didn't know how to get the bubbles off his hands



After awhile he was in heaven and wouldn't even look up for a picture



Finally after about half an hour this is the closest thing to a smile I could get, and yes, he only posed long enough for one shot. Please notice the bubbles are almost gone at this point!



All in all I would say it was a major success and he has asked for bubbles nonstop ever since.
