I Elf-ed Myself...

You are probably thinking to yourself right now, "My best friend Serena must be out of her mind. What does she mean she "elf-ed" herself? She may need an intervention..."

"No wait, " Serena says, "please just give me a chance to explain myself."

Okay, so this elf yourself thang circulated throughout my work last year. I did it but ours wasn't very cute because we didn't have our cute little Lincoln here with us. NOW, he is here and so I bring you... The Laird Family 2008 Elf Dance. (I actually couldn't decide on a dance I liked best, so there are 2 of them.) Enjoy!

Videos!

Man, I feel like I am posting everyday, but there are so many new things that Lincoln is doing each day! Here is a video of Lincoln eating rice cereal for the first time, messy and cute!
Also, his cousin Kaydence came over last night and they were hanging out and being so cute with eachother, so here is a video of that!

Last night he started sucking his thumb too, it is my favorite! He was just laying on the floor sucking away!
I rocked him to sleep last night and laid him in bed. Well, he woke up when I laid him down but I decided to just leave and see if he would fall back to sleep on his own. So, I went and brushed my teeth and went back to check on him and sure enough, he was fast asleep with his thumb in his mouth!

4 Months old!!!

Well, on Monday, Lincoln turned 4 months old! I can hardly believe it!!! Today we went to the doctors for his 4 month check-up and shots. So sad. This time he cried even more and it broke my heart. He weighed in at 13 lbs 8 oz and is 25 inches long. The doctor said he is small for his age but is right on track considering he was a preemie. He is completely healthy and the doc even said we could start feeding him rice cereal now! I am excited to see how he likes it! Anyway, I feel so lucky to have the best little boy ever!!!

Photo shoot!

These are photos our very talented friend (Thayne Wheeler) did for us back in September!

Update!

Our little monkey!

Lincoln loves his bath-time!

Chris and his love interest (in the show...because pretty much I am his love interest the rest of the time!)

So we went to Idaho this weekend to finish up the movie Chris did. It was a lot of fun! We stayed with one of the investors...the wife was prego at the same time I was and helped me ALOT through my sickness. We met for the first time this weekend and had a blast together! They have an incredible home! They have a giant movie room with awesome surround sound that shakes the whole room and your seat. We took Lincoln in there and watched part of The Transformers (not a quiet movie) but he loved every second of it and didn't get scared at all the loud noises or anything. So here is a video of us in there. Oh, and one of their cute little ones is in the recording too! The rest are just fun pics that we have taken over the last few weeks!

Happy Birthday Chris!!!

So Thursday, the 6th was Chris' 26th birthday!!!

He went to the Utah/TCU football game that night and I'm pretty sure he had the time of his life! I asked him what all he wanted for his birthday and he told me just to buy something for Lincoln...well, I did. I got Lincoln this super cute Bengal's outfit and I got Chris a Bengals hat. The Cincinati Bengals is Chris' favorite football team. I know what you are thinking....they are 1-8 right now BUT Chris loves the color orange and his favorite animal is a tiger SOOO, it all makes sense, right?! Here is a pic of Link and Chris in their attire and Chris with his brother Sam and Sam's father-in-law at the football game!

Christopher, I love you so much, thanks for being the bestest friend, husband and baby-daddy EVER!!!

The boys!

Link with Auntie Amb.

My parent's dog was really protective of Lincoln. She would run upstairs everytime Link would cry. Here they are snuggling after bath-time!

So this was the first time my little brother's and my sister got to meet little Link. It was so cute seeing all of them with him. The boys kept wanting me to wake him up so they could hold him all the time. My parents got to babysit Lincoln a few times while Chris and I went to the gym and to Seattle. It was nice to get out alot more but I missed him so much everytime I was away. We are hoping to go back to visit near Christmas-time, my older brother is in Georgia right now for Airborn training for the Army and hasn't met Link yet so we hope to see him then! This page looks like a mess but I didn't have time to fix it.

Lincoln's Blessing!!!!

We finally got Lincoln blessed while we were in Washington, Oct.26th to be exact. We really wanted my family to be a a part of this special day. It was fabulous. Chris did an amazing job with the blessing and I am so grateful to have both these incredible boys in my life! It was a beautiful day out so we all went to a park and my Uncle Doug took pictures of all of us, we then went to his house and had a fabulous salmon dinner. I am not huge on fish at all but it was delish!

Lincoln's 1st Halloween!

So we spent the last week and a half in Washington visiting my family! Here are pictures of Lincoln for his first Halloween. We went to my parent's ward's trunk-or-treat. It was funny because we kept Lincoln in his costume all day and he took a few naps and it was so cute seeing him all tuckered out in his costume! Best Halloween EVER!!!
