My birthday/Christmas gift has finally arrived in our home! A beautiful new green kitchenaid mixer. I am so thrilled about it. I just made my first batch of chocolate chip cookies all on my own, ever! I yelled I'm a real mom! Lincoln is going to be so pleased with me. since he can eat as many cookies as he wants right now!
- His blood test were all normal, so we just have to feed him as often and as much as he wants, til end of April, and then we will check him again and get his shots.
Speaking of batches, all of our birthdays are all clumped together. Mine feb 16, lincs is march 1, and kalobs march 5th so we have a lot of celebrating to do!
For mine, we did some shopping,(i bought anti-wrinkle cream, notice any improvements in the picture?) and ate dinner at my most delicious favorite Cheesecake Factory! I put off dieting so I could indulge! you only turn 27 once right!?
Im trying to decide a theme for Lincoln's first birthday! I want to try my hand at cake decorating, maybe even make a three layer cake, with my new mixer of course. or cupcakes ,,, I can't make up my mind! He needs a smash cake too, all his own. If anyone has any good ideas, let me know. We have no baby friends near us, so it'll be very low key.
Lincoln is so sweet; kalob got him out of bed just now, because he missed him! as much as that irritates me(cuz ill be the one putting him back down with a fight) it's also kinda cute. they are quite a pair. Linc is laying on his chest and kalob is saying " one day I'll take you fishing, I think we will do a lot of that. And I can't wait to take you to the park and..." I love my boys.
I thought we had decided to go simple and I'd make some home made gifts for lincs birthday since he doesn't expect much. I got some craft poms and put them in an egg carton; he loves it! I also made a water bottle full of glitter for watching. I bought him some coloring books and crayons, and a set of color wonder markers. He also got a couple summer outfits. we keep resigning and giving him the stuff early! here I was thinking what I got/made was good enough, but then I got a box of toys from amazon that kalob ordered while I was sleeping . Sneaky dad! Spoiling Lincoln rotten! He already opened one even! A farm animal see n say. to encourage recognition and animal noises. He is becoming more vocal. He finally says mom and dad to the right person, and he says dex to the dog and can say cat, hi, and cheese, and is pretty good at saying chicken and fish. He can follow simple direction like "pick up that paper" or "give me a kiss". He also can point to his or your nose and eyes. Smarty pants!
I don't know what kalob wants for his birthday. Nor will I try to surprise him, he never cares that much about birthdays. We are talking about going to Oregon to visit family during spring break....another long trip seems to be on the horizon.
