I Should Be Folding Laundry

Some exciting things have happened since Lincoln's last update! Lincoln finally cut a tooth on the 12th of October! I would post a picture, but whenever I try to look at it, he sticks his tongue out! However, sometimes if you get him to smile really big, you can see it! Most of the time, if you say, "How big is Lincoln?" he'll raise both arms. If you say, "SO big!" he'll usually bust out a big smile or even start to laugh! Yesterday, we were watching My Neighbor Totoro on my bed and Lincoln was playing with some clothes from the clean laundry. He's beginning to love peek-a-boo so I lifted up the sheet, and played it with him for a couple minutes. After the game was over, Lincoln grabbed the sheet and covered his face! Then he quickly lowered his hands and he started laughing hysterically! He repeated that for about ten minutes, and then he was tired and went to sleep. I love how he's really starting to mimic things!! He'...

I'm so happy I filmed mine and Josh's reactions to the news that I'm pregnant! This was taken the day I found out, I hope you enjoy it! Also, here's the picture from my 6 week ultrasound! I know it just looks like a blob (since that's pretty much exactly what it was at this point in time) but I think its the cutest little blob ever! I can't wait to be a mommy again! Thanks for reading! Mackenzie

9/16/13 So, Josh and I have been trying to get pregnant for about two and a half months. I took a test on the 7th of September and it was clearly negative. I figured my period was just running late since Its 41 days since my last period and I'm still breastfeeding. But I took a pregnancy test today just to be sure, since my last cycle was only 35 days. I was shocked to see this: I'M PREGNANT AGAIN!!! So, I'm still so much in shock! I can't believe this is actually happening! My first thought when seeing the 'pregnant' word on the test was, "HOLY CRAP!". Actually, I still kinda feel like that, to be honest! Its just so surreal! I can't wait for you all to see the video of mine and Josh's reactions once I post them! I was touching my tummy today, trying to imagine my next sweet baby growing in there and I just can't even comprehend what's going on in this head of mine. I already feel such a connection with my next litt...

So my little man has been up to a lot in the past three weeks! I'm so proud of him! I apologize for the lack of photos again, I still can't find my camera and its driving me crazy! I did pull some pictures from my mom-in-laws Facebook, so I hope you enjoy the few photos there are. Lincoln can officially crawl! It was Saturday the 21st of September and he just got up and started going. He hasn't stopped since and he's been a lot happier since he can move around more. He used to get really frustrated that he couldn't get around as much as he wanted. Now, he's so much more mobile and he just loves it! Also, he's a pro at pulling himself up and leaning down to pick stuff up. He's not quite able to stand on his own but he's definitely on his way. He's officially in a convertible car seat! No more carrying him in that awkward infant car seat! (thank goodness!) His newest sound is jaja. He still makes the scream whenever he gets excited, esp...

Hey! Long time, no see! I apologize for my lack of posts for the last while. Things have been absurdly crazy for the past few weeks and I've been too busy to post anything. Luckily, I have a few extra minutes to make a Lincoln post this morning. Sadly, I don't have any pictures for this post! Hopefully I'll find my camera by next week so I can post some pictures! Lincoln has made some great progress over the past 4 weeks. He can pull himself to standing quite easily. Ever since he's figured this out, he's been so much happier. Half the time he just laughs while he's pulling himself up. He's trying to walk while holding onto your hands. It's so cute when he tries to walk because he breathes really fast and he can't stop smiling. Also, he's doing really well with cruising! Linc hasn't really made any further leaps to crawling. He still does the army crawl and he's like a speed demon. I leave him for about a minute while I toss his ...

First off, I'm so sorry I slacked off these last few weeks with my Lincoln updates! Things have been a little crazy around here so I completely spaced it!  My little guy is doing so well with sitting up! He can sit for periods of about three minutes before getting tired and toppling over. Sometimes, he'll sit up longer if he has something in front of him to hold his attention. I think he has a favorite stuffed animal. It's an adorable kangaroo and Lincoln loves to chew on him! He's eating bananas and they're still his favorite! We started giving him some baby puffs that are flavored like bananas to help him get used to chewing foods and they're working well. He's also showing some good progress towards the pincer grasp as well as chewing! Yesterday, Lincoln made a huge leap toward crawling! Watch this: So even though he's not off and crawling, he's getting pretty darned close. I guess its time to invest in some baby...

We finally had a bit of extra cash to spend on making the bathroom more 'Mackenzie'! Here's the bathroom before: Now, here's the after! I love the skyline curtain! We still need to change the color of the rugs, the art and the hooks for the curtain, but for now, I'm loving it! The black and white (and grey I guess) with pops of color really shows my style. I'm excited that my bathroom is starting to reflect me! I know its not a lot of changes right now, but I'll show you guys the end result once we've finished! Thanks for reading! Mackenzie
