Last night "Teetee Becca" was upstairs and asking Lincoln some questions.....
Auntie Becca: What's your favorite color?
Lincoln: Red!! (Hey, I had not heard that before so that's good, useful information!!)
Auntie Becca: What's your favorite food to eat?
Lincoln: I like to eat all kinds of food..... (hahaa)
Auntie Becca: What's your favorite toy?
Lincoln: I like all toys.....
Auntie Becca: Who's your favorite person?
Lincoln: Lincoln! (Yeah..... that seems about right. ROFL)
Auntie Becca: Who's your favorite Grandma/ Grandpa/ Mommy/ Daddy/ Brother?
Lincoln: (all said very clearly) Sharla/ Gary/ Jeshanah/ Zion/ Baby Garrison =)
Auntie Becca: Who's your favorite cousin?
Lincoln: Baby Olivia (I gotta admit, I was a little shocked by this one, lol.... I was expecting Brandon or Janessa.... oh well.)
Auntie Becca: Who's your favorite aunt? Favorite uncle?
Lincoln: Aunt Jess (I had to give him a list of options for this one, but still, go Jess! haha) Uncle Jariah (with no hesitation *shrug* haha)
Well I learned alot about my almost 2 and a half year old last night and now you guys know too!! (Plus, I can reference this blog later when I'm working on my scrapbooks so it's really a win win!! haha And if I'm 100% honest, most of what I do is for scrapbooking later anyway....... so =P )

Okay, so Garrison's not officially crawling or anything yet, but he is CLOSE..... right now he's laying on his belly behind me and he keeps getting himself up on all fours and pushing himself forward.... it might happen today!! He's scooting everywhere.... my life is about to get even more complicated!!! lol He and Lincoln are watching Baby Einstein together..... (Best birthday present ever!! haha) while I work on some stuff for Scotchguard and Family Camp. =)
Oh for those of you who may not know yet, I'm starting a little girls club for the "Message" girls in our area.... I'm calling it Scotchguard. You can visit my website www.Scotchguardgirls.com for more information if you are interested. =) Jeremy Sanders started a boy scout type of group a few years ago for the boys called Vanguard.... and I jokingly told him clear back when Rapp was getting married that I was gonna start one and call it Scotchguard. I didn't really think it was gonna happen at the time.... but no one was doing anything for the girls and I guess I felt that burden so I'm making it happen!! =) (As long as I get enough people to sign their girls up, that is!! ;) hahaha)
Oh yeah, and I did laundry today, too. ;) =P

Well THAT was interesting!!!!!
Something I NEVER expected to happen in my life......
But I guess that's life with a 2 year old who's still learning to "go"!!!!! =P
This evening Lincoln peed in the Wal-Mart parking lot. LOL I was thinking as we were checking out that I should ask him if he had to go before we got in the car..... but I didn't so of course when Zion was busy reinstalling Garrison's carseat in our car (Garrison and I went to town in Becca's car because his seat was already in her van from earlier in day....) Lincoln grabbed himself.... got a really worried look on his face and started to whimper..... I asked him right then but I knew we weren't gonna make it back into the store...... He started to go about 3 seconds later, on our front seat, so Zion said, "Lincoln stop!!", grabbed him up out of the car, stuck him on the parking lot and pulled down his shorts!!!! ROFL Lincoln stood between the car, car door and Zion and finished his business (just wet, in case you were worried that it was worse!!! haha) and we changed his clothes (luckily I'd brought a spare outfit for just such an occasion!!) finished installing Garrison's seat and hit the road!!!

Okay, so that diet only lasted a day and a half..... it was really terrible!!! lol I seriously almost passed out so I had to eat!!! I have 7 pounds left to lose to get back to pre-Lincoln weight, so I'm back on weight watchers.
Garrison is 7 months old, teething and refusing to wean!!!! Ack!!! Lincoln was sooooo easy to wean that I thought, cool, no biggie..... well Garrison's proving to be more difficult in that regard!!! lol This little man loves to nurse and it makes it really hard! I know what my problem is.... I was more comfortable with nursing in public with Garrison than I ever was with Lincoln (with Lincoln anytime I was out and about, I gave him a bottle, so he was completely used to it...) but since I'm not as nervous about it with Garrison, I've only ever given him like 5-6 bottles!! Mostly when we were in KY and I would go work and Zion would keep him at the hotel for a couple hours!!! That was MONTHS ago!! I weaned Lincoln at 4 and a half months old..... I'm gonna try to cut Garrison off in the next 3-4 weeks. Wish me luck!!!!
Lincoln is getting SOOOOOO BIG!!!! It's kind of freaking me out!! haha I can't believe some of the stuff he does and knows and says!! It's incredible!!! Last night (Father's Day) he and Zion went outside and hunted some fireflies, they caught two of them in a jar and we watched them light up as Lincoln fell asleep. =) He thought it was pretty awesome. Well, while we were laying there watching the fireflies light up, and after saying their prayers, Zion was gonna sing, "Jesus Loves Me" to Lincoln and started out.... "Jesus loves me this I know" and Lincoln sang the next line before Zion could take a breath and get it out!!! LOL Then Zion sang the next line, and Lincoln finished the verse!! They both sang the chorus together. It was really cute!! =) Zion and I didn't realize that Lincoln knew that song.... he really is a little sponge!!! haha
Lincoln has also passed another milestone before reaching 2 and a half years old..... he is potty trained!! WOOHOO!!!! Only have to use diapers at night!! It's awesome!!!!!! =) Yesterday was his first whole day without a single accident (Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!! lol) and that includes going to church in the morning and Wal-Mart in the evening in big boy underwear and staying dry the whole time!!!! He's been #2 trained since we were in Kentucky this past winter..... but he's finally figured out the "wet" part!! =) I'm very proud of my little guy, and he made it very easy on me!! All I've had to do is give him stickers as a reward (or sometimes icecream or some very small toy like bubbles!) and he's done he rest!!! He's the best!! =D

Day One is all the soup you can eat and all the fruits you want (except bananas)......... I'm starving. hahhaha Looking forward to tomorrow.... which is all the soup you want and all the veggies you want!!! We even get to reward ourselves with a baked potato tomorrow..... reallllllly looking forward to that!!!! hahah (I don't even normally LIKE baked potatoes!!! lol ) But..... I'm supposed to lose like 15 pounds in a week.... so it's gonna be worth it!!!
Completely unrelated.... Lincoln has been dry ALL DAY, and we went to the park and everything!! =)

My little men playing with their blocks a few minutes ago. They are both getting sooooooo big!!! Lincoln's on day 3 wearing big boy underwear (only 2 accidents in 3 days!!) and Garrison's first tooth just finally poked through!! Garrison can also roll around basically wherever he wants to go and is on the verge of crawling!! They are starting to be able to play together, it's really fun!!! I love it!! =)
