Entertaining Baby
I couldn't be more blessed with amazing friends! One of my best girlfriends gave me a mobile that matched Lincs bed set for a shower gift. My baby LOVES that thing! He will lay in his crib and watch those jungle animals go round and round while singing to him. When they stop, he cries. Sometimes I peak in on him and he is EXCITED! He will be kicking and smiling away. So adorable.
This same girlfriend lent me her amazing baby swing! Hello... LOOK at this thing! Brilliant...
Lincs likes this swing. It will at least keep him entertained long enough for me to do something. Sometimes he LOVES this thing and I find him passed out cold in it. He also loves the cute mobile on this one too. For some reason he loves mobiles or anything that goes round and round-like fans.
Look how cozy he looks in this thing! I want one.
Jor's aunt gave us this bouncer and Lincs has a love/hate relationship with it. Sometimes when I put him in it, he play and looks like this for a while...
Other times I put him in it and he just cries right away. Either way, these things are something every parent should have. My mom told me they are worth the investment. Amen to that!

The Flu
We have had a rough couple of weeks in our house. Shortly after I got sick, Lincs had what I had-of course! It lasted about a week for me and a little longer on him. Since he's so little, he got it much worse. We didn't sleep hardly at all when he was sick. It was one of those viruses where you felt like you were getting a head cold, Strep Throat and the stomach flu. We are both getting better and now Jory gets to enjoy what we had. That is is why we have had a lack of postings, but will have lots more coming soon.
So needless to say, there was a lot of this...
My house (still) looked like this...
Somehow he still pulled off CUTE faces like this while being sick...
And yes, through it all-we are still attached at the hip and loving every minute of it!
I realize I'm not wearing a lick of make up here folks, but this is life. And who has time to stop and paint your face while being sick and having a sick baby?

2 months Stats
Whatever I have, Lincs now has. So today we went to see Dr.Clayton just to have him looked at on top of his wellness check. Just a cold is all! He had a hard night last night. He was really congested and you could tell it was hard for him to breathe. We turned on all the hot water in the bathroom to steam it up, hoping it would help. It did until we laid him back down in bed. Since he needs his bink to get himself to sleep, this was esp difficult for him to breathe. All night he just couldn't breathe well and was so stuffed up! Needless to say, we didn't sleep much last night either.
Anyways...
Weight: 12.7 (yeah, he's not starving!)
Length: 23 inchs
Dr. Clayton said he is EXTREMELY alert and VERY social. Lincs kept looking at the dr and just smiled away! He said it's rare for a baby at his age to lock eyes with someone and react the way he does. Cool... Other then that, everything went great and he is a healthy (I mean chubby healthy) boy.
Then came the shots... Oh what a sad day for baby! He CRIED!!!! After a few minutes he was done and just fine, but to see that little face was so sad for me.
On a happy note... He is a VERY cuddly baby. Lincs gets this from his Dad. (But the social part comes from me) So here's some pics of a proud Dad and his boy.
Look how strong he is!
Oh how cute is that baby boy.

The Camera Onesie
What a lazy weekend! I don't know that we've left the house all day today. Scratch that... Lincs and I went to get the mail at the end of the drive way. Does that count? We took a LONG nap, snuggled up in bed. It was SO nice. I forgot that when you're sick, sometimes that HELPS! Snuggling with your baby in bed is one of lifes greatest moments! He loves to just smile and talk-love it! He's starting to become more happy which has been such a blessing.
One of Jory's good friends made some CUTE onesies for us for a baby shower gift. She made a camera and a fish and glued/sewed it to the onesie. I was so touched by such a thoughtful/personal gift. Lincs is growing so dang fast so this maybe the only time he'll get to wear this! Sad... oh well-it'll be past on to the next baby I'm sure!
Isn't he getting so chubby?? =D
I'm glad God loves me enough to send my a gorgeous baby! (Shannon-that was for you!)

Mom & Me
Last week I had Jory take some pics of me and my boy. I'm almost always behind the camera and for the sake of my child, that needs to change. When I look back at pics growing up, there are hardly any pics of my mom-esp just me and her. This kind of bothers me because I wish we had more. One day when she's gone, it will be the one thing I wish I had more of. So I've decided that I am going to make sure I change this in my own life. There's always lots of just my baby, but I want him to know when he grows up that I loved him sooo much and that he was held-A LOT! Almost no one believes a painting, but everyone believes a photograph! Besides that, I had actually done my hair for the day, so it was the perfect time. We went out and had Jory take some pics of us-I was quite impressed with Jory's picture taking. Man... I just can't get enough of my boy. He is so perfect for me and the most beautiful baby in the world in my eyes!
I woke up sick this morning. I was so nauseous and my whole body ached. I had a fever of 100.8% and it even hurt to walk. I went out with my sister and niece today cuz I thought I was starting to feel better, but that was a nice little joke! I came home from Costco and we both laid in bed the rest of the afternoon and cuddled. The bummer of being sick with a little baby is they just don't understand what is going on and want to play and be held ALL THE TIME! For some reason, my baby wants to be entertained 24/7.
My baby has the most BEAUTIFUL eyes ever! I love how they are so lit up in this pic. He has been REALLY alert since he was born. Always bright eyed and looking around.
Look at that happy little face! We just can't stop kissing those sweet cheeks!
Halle is so curious of Lincs. Every time we go in the yard with him, she always wants to check him out, sniff him-etc.
He is going to grow up to be one handsome dude! Love being a mom...

Two Months
May went by in the blink of an eye. I honestly don't even remember that it existed. Today my boy is two months old. It really feels like I was just released from the hospital 3 weeks ago. They say when you graduate high school, time will fly by-and it did. They also said that when you get married, time will go by even faster and it has. We have been married 6 YEARS next month. Crazy... THEN-you have a baby and life becomes just a blink of an eye. I know two months isn't that long at all, but first of all, it doesn't feel like it's been two months and second-it's been the fastest two months of my life!
I look at Lincoln's baby pics from when he was in the hospital almost every other day. It's not as hard to look at them like it once was. He was so tiny and I miss that so much (stop rolling your eyes-he's gotten so big to ME!!) I can't even believe how fast he's growing. I've put all of his newborn stuff away because they are much too small for him. He's almost too big for size one diapers. WOW... You sure go through diapers fast to by the way. He smiles a lot now and loves to talk to us. Well, when he's being held of course. He doesn't like being alone at all. He acts so scared when he realizes he's all alone in a room.
The last few days has been OVERLY hot here. It's been disgusting actually. We went from cold, snow and rain to blazing hot. Man I hate Utah sometimes (or all the time). Today Lincoln and I hung out at home wearing our undies-it was much to hot to wear anything but that! I found the blessing outfit hanging up in his closet that Jory had cleaned out and we went right to work on a photo shoot. With Lincs, they don't last longer then 15 mins so I have to shoot fast. I guess that could be said for any kid though. I sure got some BEAUTIFUL images of my cute boy. Once again, I am SOOO happy that this outfit actually fit him. I was worried about washing it, in fear that it would shrink but it is polyester-so we were safe. I ADORE this outfit that Jory wore 32 years ago and it was exactly what I had in my mind for him to wear.
Oh and by the way... I finally made announcements for Linc's birth tonight. What a lame mom-so far behind. They are so cute though.

Lincoln's Blessing
Today we had Lincoln blessed. What a PERFECT day! I was so happy when Jory's family came down so that they could join us. Tammy and Dayle made some AMAZING food. Pulled pork, pasta salad and fruit salad. We made some cheesy potatoes and those were DELICIOUS!! All the food everyone made and brought was amazing. The other amazing thing was that Tammy had saved Jory's blessing outfit and brought that down for Lincoln to wear. More then anything, I wanted that outfit to fit him! We tried it on a month ago up in Almo and it was pretty snug on my chubby boy so I was REALLY worried. We tried it on last night and it FIT!! Barely, but at least it fit.
My dad blessed Lincoln and it meant the world that he could do that. Jory's dad, Kade, Bishop Shelley, Bro. Black, Johnny, Scott all stood in Linc's circle. My dad gave him a BEAUTIFUL blessing. It said how he would be safe, grow up strong and honour/hold the priesthood. It also said how he would be a great blessing in our lives. Also that he would feast upon the words of the scriptures, he was blessed with health, protection, a keen intellect and seek after Christ.
I actually bore my testimony for the first time in... YEARS!!! Of course I cried. But how could I not? He is MY little miracle-one that I waited SO long for. But it did make my testimony grow of our Saviour's love for his children. I KNOW he DOES take care of them and somehow-it always works out in the end.
When we got home I wanted to take some pics in Linc's blessing outfit with all the men in the circle and as I went to change Linc's diaper, I noticed he had BLOWN OUT!! He had poop ALL up his back! Ohhh... I was devastated!! So we put on a clean outfit and took pics of all the men-which most of them had changed into street clothes by then. So... tomorrow, we will have to set up a photo shoot of him in his little blessing outfit.
Here's the men minus the Bishop, Bro.Black and Cort who got hit by a car the night before and wanted to come but couldn't.
A couple of weirdos... ;) I thought this was hilarious so that's why I added it. HA HA HA HA....
Grandpa Base and his boy
We had so many friends and family at the BBQ. Of course I hardly took pics to document cuz it was SOOO dang hot and sunny out. That and I just wanted to sit and visit with everyone. It was so nice though. We have been so blessed with so much love and support from amazing family and friends. We really couldn't ask for anything more! So if you are one of those amazing friends or family members that were there, we thank you so much for sharing in our special day today!
Like I said, I didn't get pics of everything or everyone (like Jory's family!!!) like I had wanted to, but here are some of a (just a few) of my greatest girl friends...
Tammy, Me, Jeanie
Gubs and I with Lil Lincs
