Teething bites

Lincoln got one tooth on Christmas Day and the one next to it was workin its way into his mouth but hadn't broke through. Well now it has joined its friend and he is teething badly in the back right of his mouth. Teething likes to wake him up just about ever hour and a half at night now and likes to give me a run for my money with the dirty diapers. He has a bib on unless he is sleeping cause if not it looks like he went swimming cause of the drool and he is a little bit whiny which he never is so thats taking some getting used to! He is at a great age I love it but teething....is driving me nuts and he has a whole mouth left to go lol

Lincoln finally has his specialist appointment

Linc finally went yesterday to the nueromuscular doctor in syracuse. They said he is fine and right where he should be for 5 months. They want him to come back in 2 months cause they said he has slightly increased muscle tone and I mean being to strong sounds like a good thing but he said that the fact he is so strong means that some of his other muscles are getting as strong as the muscles they team with so he might need some physical therapy. They also referred us to another doctor for his head shape and they said he will be able to tell us more about what he needs to fix the shape weather it be a helmet or whatever. On a scale to 1-10 they said its a 4 so its not sooo bad but I have to call this doctor today. So we are both excited to know that he doesnt have autism or anything like our doctors here were kinda getting at and this specialist said they cant even tell this early so we have switched to a real ped. for linc instead of our family practice doc.

Lincoln's first Christmas is over

Well we enjoyed Lincoln's first Christmas. He got a TON of great toys and clothes and some books. He got passed around and loved every minute of it. We went to Bryan's god fathers house for a little bit on Christmas Eve. Lincoln got a huge teddy bear there. Then we woke up with him on Christmas day and he did his stocking and played with some toys. Then we went up to Big moose and spent the night there with my sister and rob and the girls and Ida of course and we opened gifts there. Then on Friday we all went to see my dad and the girls and we went to our Grandparents house which I haven't been to in years. But it was fun and everyone loved seeing Lincoln. We woke up on Christmas day and he got his FIRST TOOTH!!! Its on the bottom and it looks super cute on him. The one next to it is starting to come through too. They grow WAY to fast. Tomorrow for New Years we are going out to dinner with our friends who are expecting their first baby this spring and other than that we are staying home on New Years Eve cause we got Lincoln now and we never really did do much. Well 2008 has been a GREAT year and I hope everyone else had a happy '08 and has just as a happy of an '09. Happy new year!!

Christmas is getting closer

Christmas is getting closer and like every year, I feel unprepared lol. I have been able to do some online shopping while Lincoln is napping so that's been good. The wreath business has gone crazy this year. So far we have made over 200 wreath's. It has been a lot more busy since last year. It is neat to have a business and to watch it get bigger every season. I woke up this morning and did what I thought was going to be all my christmas cards. I ordered 30 thinking that was gonna leave me with some extras but nope I ran out and so I had to order some more. Lincoln is teething so he has to wear a bib a lot because he just soaks through his shirts if he doesn't. Last night was his second night out of our bed and sleeping in the pack n' play. Last night was his first full night and he did great. When he sleeps through the whole night then he will go in his nursery but for now he is in our bedroom in the pack n play where he is easy and fast to get to when he is crying for food in the night. He has a jumperoo that he had no interest in before but the last few days the horse is his favorite. He gets in there and he starts jumping like a crazy man...he is still to short to reach the floor so he has a pillow underneath but he is so into it. He has started to shove toys in his mouth and eat his shirt and lean for toy's so im hoping he is fine. I have to wait till after thursday to find out when he has to go to that specialist because the doc office has been blowing me off for two weeks now and they said the doc was out til thursday so i am just waiting more.
