last month as an only child

As the due date of our sweet little guy rapidly approaches I have been left with trying to make Elliot's big brother feel really special. This last month will be the last month that Linc will ever be an only child, and boy has he lived it up. We have played LOTS of legos (i'm sure this will not stop, and that we have many more glorious years of LOTS of legos). We have watched Avengers for a straight month, and he has been hook (hulk) smash for the last 30 days as well. On the rare occasion  when he is not the hulk, captain america with a shield takes the stage. (the shield was hand made by me with an old trash can lid and some old paint). He is also in this bad guy kick, Darth Mater (Vader) is currently his favorite dark lord. I'm kinda hoping he grows out of this one.  Helping me with dinner has become a priority.  A real Iron chef in the making. In the past couple of days he has mastered the art of karate, and has become the avid chocolate waffle eater. On the mornings that Jarrod or I have not been ready to wake up at 6:30 am, linc has been able to get his kindle (pooter) and bring up netflix all on his own. A few mornings we have been serenaded with the intro song to the power rangers. One of our fondest memories is laying there as a family (trying to sleep) and hearing his sweet little boy voice singing the theme song " go go power rangers".  It really is the cutest thing ever. 

Here are a few pictures of this last month's adventures. I hope we made some lasting memories for Lincoln. I know I will always remember them. 

Special mommy and Linc date. He thinks starbucks only sells cookies and cakes. 

Helping me make dumplings. 

Always helping with the groceries.

I can't believe how small he was. Here he was helping me go through all his new born stuff while getting Elliot's room ready. This is one of his premie outfits.  

Professional crib tester.

Spiderman

I pruned a bush in the front yard and he had to replant the clippings. They are still there today. 

Here is the shield. 

Got a fresh new hair cut. He asked the lady to cut it crazy. She was sweet and just spiked for him. He was trilled. 

Crafting for his baby brothers room.

Just having a blast 

Elliot,

You will forever change our lives, and we cannot wait!!! God has put you in our hands for a reason and we plan on cherishing you endlessly. We are going to have so much fun. I promise not to embarrass you too much.

Love,

Your crazy family.
