HE'S FINALLY DOING IT!!! That's right...after a LONG time, and much frustration, tears, and a little bit of screaming on Mommy's part, Lincoln is GETTING IT! He finally knows when he has to go to the bathroom, and will actually run in and go on his own! Bomb.com is all I can say. Not the funnest thing in the entire world. We are still not out of the woods yet, but we are doing much better and are hoping for the best! Nights are still lazy and we wear pullups, but not in the daytime! Underwear of choice: Thomas the Train. Cars movie unders will do, but we like the Thomas ones when we are having a good dry day! Yeah for Lincoln!
In other news, Payton just went to the doctor for his 9 month check up and he is currently 18 pounds (which puts him in the 10th percentile) and he is in the 70th percentile for his weight! Long and lean...that's how we like 'em! Both of my boys have been sick a little bit lately, so I had the doctor check Lincoln out too while we were there, and much to my dismay, 3 out of the 4 ears were INFECTED! Lincoln with only 1, but Payton with 2! Can you say..BAD MOM! I didn't even know my kids had ear aches. Poor dudes. But we are on the yummy coveted "Pink Medicine" (Amoxicillan) that both of the boys can't WAIT to eat morning and night! So funny. So they are on the mend and doing much better.
Yesterday, the boys and I were on a bike ride while Cole had a meeting and I looked back once and Lincoln was "talking" on my telephone. I asked him who he was talking to and he said Uncle Bryson! (for those of you that don't know, Bryson is my little brother and he is on a mission in Canada and has been out just over a year now) I asked Lincoln how Bry was doing and this is what he said... "Oh, he's good mom. He says Hi, and that he is back from his Canada thing, and living at Grandma B and Grandpa Dick's now." Well there you have it! I told Lincoln to tell Bryson Hi and he did and then said that he needed to go! I LOVE that Lincoln is starting to get an imagination! It is so much fun.
Yet again, in other news, Payton was standing all by himself in the tub-without holding onto anything mind you for like 5 seconds yesterday! SOMEONE PUT A BRICK ON THAT KIDS HEAD! STOP GROWING! Seriously, he was just born yesterday. He is already destructive enough, I don't need him running around too! I love my boys. They bring me so much joy!

Oh boy--then i must be mother of the year because it seems everytime I bring someone in, they have an ear infection that I wasn't aware of! We'll just chalk it up to happy, brave kids, right?!?
And it's always embarassing to admit how FRUSTRATING potty training is on the mom. He's such a smart little bug--love that he was having a convo with Elder Bryson. Seriously missing the Smith family right now! Hope you are all doing great...
That pink stuff is heaven sent! I am glad to see Lincoln back to his happy self :)
Life wouldn't be life if the little dudes weren't sick. We're dealing with croup over in our neck of the woods and let me tell ya...it ain't pretty. But you are pretty! Pretty!
oh and btw...I STILL am convinved that Lincoln is Bryson's little mini-me. I see it every time I look at Linksters. I don't know, is it just me? Maybe that's why Lincoln is the only one allowed to talk to bryson on his mish? I dunno? Too cute!
It is so crazy how fast they grow! Jack is almost six months and that is just insane to me! Your boys are so cute! Figures with parents like you guys! Hope life is treating you well (aside from the earaches of course)!
congrats on the potty training, I am so dreading that with Hudson, although I was with Kennedy and she was a piece of cake...enjoy having a few less diapers in your life!
Congrats on Lincoln's progress!!! Way to hang in there supaMom. You're my hero.
Loved reading your update on the boys. Will is the same way with his imagination. I will catch him talking to his cars and it just cracks me up!!
