3.5 Months and Counting

We went and got Link's 3 month pictures taken today at Sears portrait studio in the Oakland Mall. Of course it took us like an hour since he was perfect for 10 minutes and then proceeded to scream for most of the rest of the time. The photographer was actually pretty good though. I have to give it to her, she definitely accomplished what I thought to be impossible.

Sorry about the resolution on these everyone. Sears portrait studio owns the rights to the pictures so when you go to look at them online, they only provide them in a very low resolution, small frame size and in order to steal them now and share them before we pick them up, I had to work with what was available...you get the idea. The link to the rest of the album is HERE.

We get them the second week of February, so I will scan them in at a higher resolution then and repost them on the same link. I am also working on getting a youtube video of him up tonight. We will see how that works out.

No new milestones to relay since my last post from last night. As you can see from the pictures, Lincoln holds his head up quite well. We did discover last night after I posted, however, that he can also hold his own bottle with little assistance. This is a 6 month milestone that our baby genuis has already begun to reach. Way to go Link!!

English language fact: “Underground” is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters “und.”

Word of the day: Abate (uh-BEYT) verb: to reduce in amount.

Uuuggghhh...

More waiting on the house. Grrr...we are very close this time, but unfortunately we are pretty much homeless until we close. This has been one heck of a struggle but I feel like a pro when it comes to credit and mortgage applications now because of all the stuff I've had to learn.

Otherwise we have been well. Link is getting bigger all the time. It's funny because I go to work and come home and he looks different to me. We have some new pictures and I have a couple videos I'm going to add soon when I get them uploaded to youtube. He talks a lot now and he also smiles a lot, can hold his head up pretty much on his own, sits up with assistance and also holds toys on his own. There is so much new stuff happening everyday with him! It's awesome!
I'm adding another category to the end of my posts. My mom gave me the idea to also add what defined milestone Lincoln should be going through to offer a comparison between "normal" and our little genius!

"Normal" milestone: Holding head up, opening and closing hands, recognize faces, beginning to babble.

Milestone: Lincoln holds his own head up, sits with assistance, holds toys on his own, smiles like a maniac, recognizes mom and dad and smiles, babbles and talks since 2 months, giggles, and knows when dad gets home from work by the sound of the door opening - 3.5 months.

Fact: “ough” can be pronounced in eight different ways. The following sentence contains them all: “A rough-coated, dough-faced ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough, coughing and hiccoughing thoughtfully.

Sleeping in the waiting room...

Gena is getting a follow up and Link and I have fallen asleep in the waiting room. We probably look homeless except we smell better and have nicer clothes on! Hahaha!





There is a baby here that has even worse breathing problems than ours. At least it's common.

I will try to post Christmas pictures today...I make no promises.
