Lincoln just rolled over from his stomach to his back (twice!) for the first time!! Previously when he rolled it was from his back to his tummy. I was so excited and clapped for him so he is very proud of himself!! =) My little baby is getting to be such a big boy already!!! He's so awesome!!!!!

Raise your hand if you are tired of singing "The itsy-bitsy spider"!! (Shan raises hand and jumps up and down exclaiming, "Me, Me, Me!!!!" )

That seems to be the only song he likes and I starting to drive myself crazy with it!! lol He likes that one and the one John made up for Janessa (with a few variations to make it work for Link, of course!) when she was a baby. He hates the little teapot song and Jesus Loves Me (I thought ALL kids liked that one!) and most the time even Mom's old standby Jesus, the sweetest name I know.

He has 2 teeth now that you can actually see, not just feel and he is starting to stand up all the time! It's ridiculous how fast he's getting so big! He has had a little cereal every day (except for one cause we weren't home all day on Sunday and I didn't bring any...) and still doesn't seem to enjoy it that much.

Zion asked if there was anything going on in MY life besides Linky.... ummmm.... the only thing I can think of is that I started doing Weight Watchers and am hoping that really works out for me! I have been hanging onto an extra 20 pounds since Link was born that I would seriously like to get rid of!!!

The only other thing is that I am trying to figure out how to make a Abraham Lincoln bust for Link's first birthday cake. (I've got lots of time, I know, but it's a big undertaking and I want to practice it a few times to see if I can even do it!!!!) I'm sure that's not gonna help me out with the whole weight watchers thing though!! LoL I might just buy a Styrofoam ball and carve that then all I have to make is the fondant to cover it. That way we won't be tempted to eat all the cake!!

To get in the mood for doing that I have been watching alot of episodes of "Ace of Cakes" online. They do amazing things with cake! It's awesome! (I wish I could just have them make his cake but they charge a minimum of $1,000 for a cake and I don't have that kind of dough to spend on some cake dough! (see what I did there??) haha)

Okay that's enough for now. =) Baby is hungry!!!!
