Lincoln Seven Months

Oh, our sweet sweet Lincoln...is now seven months old! He is rolling from one end of the room to the other, sitting unassisted and (when he fees like it) drinking from a sippy cup! He's graduated to eating meats and regularly turns the pages of his story books when we read to him. And he even got his first tooth!

That smile will just melt your heart. He is such a sweet boy...although he does have an incredible temper and has no problems telling you where to go when he's upset. But most of the time he's happy and sweet. Teething has brought out the "whine-factor" recently and I'm not too pleased with that. I've realized I have low whine tolerance!

He has SO many facial expressions and he's very dramatic (wonder where he gets that from). We crack up at his various "looks"- like this one above for example. There is pure trouble in that face!

Another hilarious facial expression- the "zone out." I've seen kids do this before (mainly when watching TV) but a baby? He does this all the time...you'll be interacting and then all of a sudden..."zone out." Its as if he's suddenly thought of something that requires all of his brain power to think about...either that or suddenly he's realized you are boring him to tears.

I love this shot of my boys- taken on a random Saturday afternoon. They are so super cute together, my heart melts.

And those fat little leg rolls! I love those and will be very sad when he starts moving more and they disappear...although I never did manage to get rid of mine so maybe they'll stick around ; )

I can't get enough kisses from my boy! I probably kiss him 20 times a day, at least! Oh, well I'm the mom- I can do what I want.

So, what have we been up to for month seven? Well we've been having some issues on the home-front. I won't go into too much detail but its been a rough month for us. Hubs and I both have some pretty big work stress going on right now...money is tight and we're both burning the candle at both ends if you will. Things could be totally worse so I hate to complain too much....but its just been a rough month.

Chicken turns 3!!!

My sweet Chicken turned three years old a couple of weeks ago! I can hardly believe it has been that long since I sat with my aunt through 56 hours of labor and watched this amazing little boy come into the world. Even though we have our Lincoln now, this little boy is still one of the lights of my life and I love him dearly. Its just an added bonus that he also loves Lincoln so very much. There is no jealousy or animosity...it is all love with these boys!

Lorenzo lights up when he sees Lincoln...Linc is too little to be impressed by all the attention but I'm sure one day he'll be following Chicken around and mimicking his every move!

He always wants to help feed the baby and he thinks everything the baby does is so cute! He squeals with delight when Lincoln laughs or makes a funny noise...but especially when he burps and farts! (boys)

We bought Lorenzo a Leap Pad Learn N Play guitar, Lincoln logs (of course) and an awesome skull shirt. He loved the guitar! It was one of those gifts they open and then don't want to open anything else (SCORE!)

Pretty soon it was cake time! I absolutely love this picture...this boy and his dimples are the cutest!!! I am so very lucky to have two amazing little boys in my life that I would do anything for.

Happy Birthday Chicken- and here's to many, many more!!!
