Numero Dos!




Lincoln turned 2 this past Sunday and we had his birthday party today!  It is really hard for me to believe he is 2 already...!?!?  Where'd my baby go!  He has been so cute saying "Hap-pee Buhth-day!" all week.  His vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds and he LOVES learning how to say things and string lots of words together.  He also still has a love for being outdoors and would happily stay outside all day long, regardless of the weather.  He is now sleeping in a big boy bed, as of a few weeks ago, and it has been the easiest transition (hooray!).  He enjoys mowing, tractors, helicopters, hats, cheese, his blanket ('night-night'), his brother, reading books, swinging, shoes, playing hide and go seek, and keys.  He is a bear when he first wakes up, but snaps out of it within 2-20 minutes (ha! yes, that can be a LONG 20 minutes).  We've also just realized he has been experiencing night-terrors off and on for a while now, but luckily it doesn't happen often and NOW we know what is going on :)  He loves to help and loves being independent.  He is often a daredevil.  At the doc this week he weighed in at 26 lbs and measured 34 1/4 inches.  Although a little nervous about the table at first, he warmed up quickly and answered all the doctors questions gladly... and then even voluntarily thanked the nurse after she pricked his finger and then put a band-aid on it (thanks for hurting me?  hah).


On his birthday we had a little cake (individual microwave cakes :) and ice cream but we saved the balloons, birthday cake, and presents for today.  As for today, everything was great - what can be better than pizza, punch, and cake?  The boys had a blast - in fact, it might be hard to say which one had more fun!  Lincoln was spoiled and has a lot of cool, new toys to play with this week - including a tiny flashlight that he seems to think is his new prize possession. :)  Happy Birthday sweet boy!
