January Update

It's been a couple weeks since I've posted so I thought I would just do a quick update and post some of my favorite pictures from the last several weeks. 

• The weather has actually been nicer than I've expected it to be.  The temperature has been in the high 30's and even 40's over the last couple of weeks.  It has been sunny, beautiful and warm for an Idaho winter day. We just got snow last night. 
  
• My brother Asa and Theresa came to visit from Spokane, WA for a weekend and it happened to coincide with Micah and Kolissa's visit to Pocatello from CA.  It was really nice to see them and to hang out and visit.  
  
• Lincoln has started walking!!!!  Well, he has been taking steps for a long time but now his first instinct is to walk instead of crawl.  I think he's learned that he gets a lot of attention when he walks because we make a big deal of it and he thinks that's funny. 
• Lincoln now has 10 teeth!  Four up front on top middle, four on the bottom in the middle and now two top molars.  He has been a trooper!
• This week Lincoln started daycare or as we call it "school."  We decided that it would be good for him to be out of the house and around other kids.  It also allows Rick to focus more on school. Luckily he is just about 5 minutes up the street from us.  We tell him he gets to go to school and he gets excited and raises his hands.  So far he seems to really like it!  I think it has been harder on me!
• We went to Idaho Falls for a day to do some shopping!!  They have some bigger stores like Best Buy, Toys R Us and a nicer Mall.  We had a great time.  As always, Lincoln made out like a bandit. It's always fun to shop!!
• My birthday was January 12th so Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Natalee took Lincoln for the night and Ricky and I went to dinner and to see a movie (Seven Pounds - which I really liked!)  Not much else is open in January in Pocatello but it was an enjoyable evening.

In front of Lincoln's new school.

On our way to school!!

Lincoln loves to eat!!

What a little ham!

Lincoln is learning about temper tantrums.  Luckily they don't last long.  Once he realizes that we don't put up with that he can get over it pretty quickly.

Unfortunately we don't get to swim much here so the bath tub will have to do for now.

Nice teeth shot.  This is the face that he makes now when you say "cheese!"

Nothing like having 250 balls in your living room!

Modeling his new snow suit and super cute little boots.

You have to admit....he is dang cute!!
