Falcons vs. Browns 10-10-10

Last year Christian and I decided that we were going to try to go to an away falcons game every year.  It was a little late in the year to go to one last year so we had to start this year.  We also found out that the Falcons would be playing the Brown.  Since we have family in Ohio and are HUGE Browns fans we decided that would be our away game this year.  Friday night we loaded up the Commander and headed to Kinnsman, OH.  Christian's mom and brother Corey went with us.  Lincoln did such a great job on the 10 hour drive.  I feed him and changed his diaper before we left and about ten minutes down the road he was out!  He slept until we were about 30 from Kinnsman.

Lincoln's first road trip!

The Yanks don't mess around with it comes to tailgating for a game.  The bus came and picked up at 5am Sunday morning.  They decided since there was so many of us (about 20) that it would come out cheaper and safer to rent a bus.

The Browns stadium at about 7am Sunday morning.

We had a wonderful time.  It didn't hurt that the falcons won!! :)

Lincoln- Two Months

On October 2, 2010 my little chucky monkey turned two months old!! 

Weight: 15lbs 1oz

Length: 23 1/2

You are in the 75th-90th percentile for your height.  You are off the charts with your weight.   Your head circumference is in the 50th percentile

Sleep: You usually only wake up once a night to eat.  The other night you slept all night!!

Clothes: You are still wearing mostly 3mo clothes but I have put you in some 6mo.  Surprisingly it is because of your length not your weight :)

Diapers: We used the last of the size 1 diapers and are putting you in size two now but I don't think you will wear this size for very long since you are growing so fast.

Feeding: You are now eating 6oz every feeding.  We tried 5oz for a while and it worked for a week or two then you were still hungry.

 

Dr. Carroll said everything looked great and not to worry about your weight.  He said that once you start moving the weight will even itself out.  He also said we have a very healthy little boy and to keep doing what we are doing!

This has to be the most adorable little boy in the whole world!

 Lincoln has discovered his hands and love to suck on them.  We call him Mr. Chomp Chomp sometimes :)

Lincoln you are the most precious gift we have ever recieved.  You are spoiled rotten and demand our full attention at all times.  If you are awake you want to be moving.  The only way we can get you to sit in your swing without screaming is to put it on the highest speed and put it facing towards the window so you can look outside.  You are clearly a very good eater and you also burp very good too.  You still love bath time and cry when we take you out of the water.  You smile all of the time!  Your Daddy is best at making you smile.  We can tell you are trying to laugh.  I am sure it will happen anyday now.  Everyone is amazed at how big you are now and can't believe you are only two months old.  I have had several people ask me if you were between 4-5 months old.  Your Daddy & I love you more and more everyday!

 

Christian and I took Lincoln to the doctor yesterday (Oct. 7, 2010) for his two month well visit.

His shirt says "My mom is a fox"

Lincoln and Daddy in the waiting room.

Time to get his weight!!  I was very curious to know what his weight would be.  I thought it would be between 13-14 lbs.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this....

I almost fell in the floor!!  I couldn't believe my baby weighed over 15lbs!!

Having a little fun with the mirrors while waiting on Dr. Carroll.

Mommy & Mr. Linc

The first vaccine was in liquid form.  It was the Rotavirus vaccine and Lincoln loved it. 

He started crying when it was all gone.

 Daddy holding his hand :(

Then came the shots!!  It was awful!  Lincoln screamed at the top of his lungs.  He had to get 3 shots total.  I'm not really sure how the shots were broke up but they were the following vaccines: Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis, Polio, Hepatitis B, Haemophilus Influenzae Type B (Hib) and Pneumococcal Conjugate.  Two minutes after the shots he was fine and sleeping in his car seat.

Things You Should Have by 30

By 30 you should have:




1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come. I don't have one that I would go back to.  I am with who I am suppose to be with but I do have one that reminds me of how far I have come.





2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family. Yes, Christian and I have several things not owned by anyone else.

3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour. I have several things to wear but nothing fits right now.  I still have a few pregnancy pounds to lose.





4. A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.

I have several nice purses.  My parents bought Christian and I both a nice set of luggage for Christmas two years ago.  I would like to have a nice umbrella.  I have a couple that I am not ashamed to use but I would like to have a stylish one.

5. A youth you’re content to move beyond. I had a great youth.  I made a few mistakes that I would rather forget but those helped mold me into the person I am today.




6. A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age.  I definitely look forward to retelling some of my crazy stories.






7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age—and some money set aside to help fund it. It has become more real since Lincoln was born.  We are still working on the savings :)





8. An e-mail address, a voice mailbox and a bank account—all of which nobody has access to but you. Definitely yes on the email address and voice mailbox. Christian and I have a joint checking and savings account.




9. A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded. It may not be horribly impressive yet but it's definitely not padded.
I couldn't even tell you where my resume is right now.  I definitely need to work on that.




10. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.
I have a couple that I can laugh and cry with.

11. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.
I have a pink tool set & Christian has a cordless drill.  I don't think I have a bra that is totally black lace but it has some black lace on it if that counts...






12. Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it.
I can't think of anything right now....maybe I should work on that :)



13. The belief that you deserve it.



14. A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30.
I am working on getting a work out routine since I still I am still have a few pounds to lose from being pregnant.  The skin care reginmen is hit or miss.  Sometimes I am good about it and others times I'm not.

15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better.
I have a great career and the opportunity to make it even better.  I have a wonderful relationship.  My husband can drive me nuts but at the end of the day I wouldn't have it any other way.  Not to mention I have the greatest little boy anyone could ever ask for and two precious doggies.

We had a great time and I'm glad the falcons pulled it off in the end.  With two seconds left they kicked a field goal to put us in the lead.
