LINCOLN's FIRST BIRTHDAY, almost 1.5 Months late :(

It's true...I've been home for over 2 weeks and so in theory I have no good excuse for not having posted about all of our adventures since late April. There is so much that life requires and in complete honesty I have been overwhelmed by that task of going through and organizing photos, but alas I have found a moment (or at least I am taking a moment to start the catch-up process) I will begin with a very momentous time for all of us...LINCOLN"S FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

This is the Handsome Birthday Boy at Daffodil. What a little stud!

 

Some of the honored Party guests. We were lucky to have Mema and Papa with us!

 

All of his cards from family and friends. He is well loved!

 

How many presents does a 1 year old need???

 

Should I say spoiled!

 

A little slide for outside in the back yard to keep him away from the big ones...here's to hoping!

Vienna being the big helper and gladly opening all of his gifts for him! He got a sweet instrument set!

We love music time!

His yummy B-day cupcakes.

He ate the whole thing

And the floor ate about half of it. What can I say, he is a good sharer!

Playing on the newly assembled Birthday gift. 

Our little Linc's man has brought such a fun dynamic to our family and we have enjoyed having him around so much this past year. His little personality is really starting to shine through and it's only going to get brighter. Despite not being as vocal as his sister was at this age he is way more motor functionally advanced. He has great balance and climbing skills. It is clearly a right brain, left brain thing. He understands so much and definitely has some words; ball, bubble, balloon, Mama and Dada sometimes. He still communicates really well with gestures and noises. He has some of the funniest faces and quite the sense of humor. Right now he loves to eat, take baths, be outside, go for walks in his little car, play with balloons and balls. He knows the car sound and drives cars all around (how does he know that, we never taught him???) climbing on things and being a boy. He sure loves him Mama and likes to be with me. He also loves his sister tons! (I know its 1.5 Months since his B-day so I am only writing the things he did at that time and not his other milestones)

WE LOVE YOU LINCOLN!
