Here is what the boys have been up to recently:
Drake is getting more vocal. He really gets going when he is mad or grumpy, which isn't often. The boy will eat anything; even those nasty baby food diners like lentils and rice. He gets so proud of himself when he puts puffs in his mouth and when he pulls himself up to the fireplace. I placed a down comforter over the brick and pushed a rug up to the fireplace, in order to protect that delicate head. He is still waking up 2-3 times a night, but I have cut him down to only 1 feeding. Can someone please tell him he really doesn't need to eat: he won't listen to me. He is also still on his reflux medication, but the doctor said it should get better by 9 months.
Lincoln is becoming more like Dave everyday. He hates having his sheets tucked in at the bottom of the bed; he enjoys America's Funniest Home videos and will have Dave rewind certain clips over and over; and he comes up with hilarious one-liners (He handed Dave his sucker and told him "take it sweet" which is what dad tells Maggie when giving her a treat.). The 2 had fun playing in our small snow storm on Sunday night. Dave taught Lincoln how to make a snow angel. Preschool has got him interested in letters and Spanish.
I feel so blessed to have happy/healthy children and now I will have a happy husband. Life is good!
