This Saturday would be Lincoln's first birthday. I really wish that instead of typing this I were running around frantically trying to prepare for his first birthday party. Since I won't be doing that I will just share some sweet pictures of my little angel with you all. I love you Lincoln Garyt Allen and I miss your sweet little smile and your stinky formula breath. I miss you holding onto my finger and I really miss you keeping me up all night. You were such a good little cuddler and we miss you in "the big bed". I love you to the moon and back Doodlebug.
Lincoln's toes in the sand! When we left Children's we immediately took a family trip to the beach. I really wanted to Lincoln to see the ocean while we had a chance. He HATED the sand!
Lincoln's first pumpkin! I take the kids to the pumpkin patch every year and they each get to pick out their own pumpkin. I think this is actually one of Mimi's. He wasn't really sure what to think about sharing his car seat with that big orange thing.
Thanksgiving 2008
I made our whole dinner!!! We watched the parade while I cooked and then we all watched the game together. Mimi stopped by for a little while. Lincoln was a cranky little turkey and just wanted to be held all day.
No pics of Christmas little Lincoln was fighting to stay alive that day. In and out of surgery twice in 36 hours. He was such a brave little boy. When we took him down for one procedure, he was holding Jeremy's finger and just looked up at him and smiled so sweetly.
This is the sweet little Doodlebug "ringing in" the New Year. Mommy and Daddy and Mimi played games and ate KFC. Later we tried to get a doctor called but the charge nurse in that unit would not page him. Needless to say the next morning we were rushed back to ICU.
