It's spring time!!

Lincoln loves this car!! When I push him in the driveway he makes noises so when he hits the bumps it chops up whatever he is saying and he LOVES honking the silly horn!
Bryan wanted to go fishing so Lincoln and I went along. He was checking everything out and having himself a good time in his pack.
Lincoln with Bryan's mom enjoying the nice day at her farm.
I set him in the grass and he kept pulling it out and looking at it.
We went out and bought him this swing and he enjoys it but it seems to tire him out which isn't a bad thing at his age

Lincoln goes to get casted for his Helmet

Bryan and I took Lincoln last week out to Syracuse for all his appointments. The follow up with the Nuero-Developmental doctor came out great. She said he is right where he should be for 7 months but just to cross all the T's and dot all the I's she wants him to go back out there and see an eye doc and she wants the Pediatrician to check his hearing again at his next appointment. The next day he had 2 appointments, the first with the Spinal Surgeon who said his spine and everything is fine, he was just laying weird in the previous x-rays so that was GREAT news. The 2nd appointment was for the casting of his helmet to help reshape his head. The doctor was wonderful and Lincoln did not like the process at all. We have to pick the helmet up on April first and then go back a week later for a check up then every 3 weeks till he gets it off in September. We haven't quite figure out how we are going to arrange a once a month appointment all the way in Syracuse or to his watertown office but we are working on it.

almost 7 months old

Well life has been busy for us. Bryan has his new job at the jail and was working 3pm-11pm but now he is on 7am-3pm till he goes to the academy in April so it works out much better cause he is here for bath time and all that and when he wasnt Lincoln noticed. Lincoln went to a neuro-development doc who said he was fine but he referred us to an Ear Nose and Throat doc for Lincolns head shape cause he has some positional plagiocephaly and they took spinal xrays and called and said they were abnormal so now March 11th he has to go to a spinal surgeon to find out whats wrong and then a few hours after that appt he will go get cast for his helmet. He has a shortened neck muscle (torticollis) and he was supposed to be getting Physical Therapy for that but she said she didnt want to start that til they find out what the spine issue is so we have to wait till March 11th. He will actually pick up his helmet on April first...what a way to spend my birthday.

6 months old today

Well Lincoln turned 6 months old today I can't believe it! I am happy he is healthy and growing and all that but it's like where is time going? He is getting big so fast! He is starting to try and roll over he gets onto his side and then he laughs and lays there and then back to his back but he is getting there slowly but surely! He is starting to mumble now and he is saying his mmmm's and when he is whining cause he doesnt want to go to sleep and fighting it he will say ma ma and today he just started with the P sound so he is sayin pa pa pa but no da da poor Bryan lol. He has been runnin a fever with this crappy teething so he has been wanting me to hold him or he wimpers which is frustrating when your tryin to get stuff done. Bryan's working his new job now at the jail and he just started on the 3pm-11pm shift so I have taken over Bath duty and now we get in the bed together and then Bry puts him in his crib when he comes home so its kinda nice to cuddle. Time sure does fly!

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
