Congratulations Mommy Shan and Daddy Zion!

Lincoln Andrew sounds like an absolutely beautiful baby and I can't wait to meet him!

However, I wonder if Zion will care if his son wears pink! I was so sure that you were having a girl that I have the cutest little pink outfit for him! LOL! I guess that will have to go back to the store!!!

Good job and happy Lincoln's birthday!

Since he cause you to lose quite a few pounds today I guess you can call him the Great Emaciator.

Is the 21 inches with or without the stovepipe hat?

The Great Emaciator?? Rofl! How does your mind work?
Becca just asked what a stovepipe was, so I had to read the blog to see what you were talking about. Too funny!
Lincoln is completely adorable. He does look alot like Zion but a shade or two lighter. He's not as hairy if the stories I've heard are true.

Hooray!!! Congratulations on the birth of little Lincoln Andrew!! We are so happy for you and can't wait to see him!

Shan, I would like to bring you a meal once you are home. I will stay in touch and you can let me know when you would like me to do that. =)

Enjoy every moment! There's nothing so close to heaven as a sweet little newborn baby!

(except when it's 3 in the morning and they're screaming their head off...=)

We love you guys!! Talk to you soon.

~Sarah and the rest of the Smithies

If you take away the stovepipe hat, he will only be about ten inches long! Israel, you are a hoot! Just think - you are Lincoln's uncle, so I bet wearing stovepipe hats runs in the family! ROFL now...

I do think that someone should take baby Lincoln's picture wearing a little baby stovepipe hat on Abe's birthday! Very patriotic...

It's kinda cute that they named the little bugger after the first and last good Republican President.

Of course the Republican party now bears no resemblance to the party that got him elected.

Since this kid is obviously destined to become President here are some things for him to watch out for.

He does have a very presidential sounding name - Lincoln Andrew Ramirez!

And he just might be the first Hispanic President, though I wouldn't wish the headaches on him!

If he did become a Republican elected President from Ohio, would you (Israel) claim him?

Course, if it is in 2060, you will be heading towards the 100 year old mark, wouldn't you? You would be wheeling up to the inaugauration in your motorized wheelchair, saying that's my nephew - our Missing Lincon!

Israel said...

Shouldn't someone change the name of this blog already?

I suggest "The Lincoln Log."

Because honestly Jeshanah, your adventuring days are over. Nobody cares about you anymore, it's all about Lincoln.

You are now just a food source for what is basically a feces, vomit and noise producing machine. "Enjoy every moment!" Ha! That's a laugh!

I think the Lincoln Log should have a poll asking how long it will be before Jeshanah logs on to complain about something. I predict it'll happen right around the Four Score and Twenty poop mark.

We should also have a poll where people vote on a nickname, because let's face it, call a wrinkled eight-pound prune "Lincoln" is just ridiculous.

Some Nickname suggestions:

"The Missing Lincon"
"The Great Emaciator"
"Honest Babe"
"Mister President"

or just "Linc" short for "missing Linc" in honor of the hair on his back that makes him look like Sasquatch.

I also wanna hear more about the labor. Was it long and horrible? Did the anesthesia take too long to kick in? Was it a C-Section? Ugly stitches and scarring? Incontinence? Episteotomy? Stretchmarks? Flappy abdomen skin? Soreness and swelling?

"Hee hee!"

And I don't wanna hear any complaining though. I want you to keep it on the bright side, like the reporter who asks "So other than that Missus Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"

I also wanna hear when he gives his first Gettys Burp Address and how many Lincoln Logs he leaves in his diaper.

I'm glad you named him Lincoln, cuz now i know what to get him for every birthday:

Me- "Look kid, in honor of your birthday I had copper disk engraved with your image."

Linc - "But that doesn't look like me!'

Me- "Don't be ungrateful kid. Look, turn the disk over and you'll see see a engraving of a monument in your honor on the back. My tax dollars paid for that."

Oh yeah Jeshanah and thanks for obeying my command and bearing my brother a male child.

When should we expect the next one?

Israel, you are too much! Your mind works overtime...

But I love the Honest Babe nickname!

And this is hysterical...

You should write a book!

And I think the Lincoln Log Blog is a cool name! But the adventures are not over - they are just beginning!
