Grammy's Visit

This week, we were very blessed to have my grandmother come visit us from California. The kids were super excited to get to see Grammy, who was meeting Lincoln for the first time, and the trip didn't disappoint.

She brought them special treats all the way from Cali and played with them until all were worn out, and of course it was a super special treat for me to get to spend time--and to cook!--with her as well.

Next time we need to head to the beach to spend time with her!

Growing Up Too Fast!

Well, as I predicted in my 7 month post, my little man is crawling, though it took longer than I expected I have to admit.

He reminds me so much of Buddy the Elf because his life motto really could be "smiling's my favorite!". He also loves so much to laugh. Yesterday we took the kids on a car ride, and the older ones were watching Looney Toons. Something made them both crack up, and almost immediately Lincoln started laughing just to join in.

His good nature persisted all month despite fighting pink eye, a double ear infection, and RSV all at the same time.

I also spent my first night away from him this month, which was probably harder for me than him since he was busy being spoiled by his SueSue.

While he still hasn't gotten any teeth, he's a good eater and has been putting on weight well in the last month. He's also getting really good at standing though not yet at pulling himself up.

Mostly though he's good at utterly charming his mother. I mean, the dimple alone undoes me! :)
