General Update

Thought I would just post a couple small updates about our family since it's been a while since I updated much.


Gwen has become a bit of a jabberbox. She talks all the time and often will try to use complete sentences. It's fun to hear her careful pronunciation of words. When she's not speaking for herself, she'll parrot whatever Lincoln says. She loves babies- no surprise there, and is still a bit independent- but has become a little more of a mommy's girl lately. She's decided she doesn't need naps every day- just a couple times a week. She'll stay awake in her crib and play for an hour or two, if I try to put her down and she doesn't want to take a nap. She gives the best "squeeze" hugs when asked-it's pretty much one of the best feelings in the whole wide world. She loves to bounce and jump and when healthy is a very happy, sweet girl.



Lincoln is now the "why?" kid. He asks me questions all day long- especially when we're in the car. He's suddenly interested in cartoons- something he never even spent a minute on before. He can't ride his bike without training wheels yet, but he asked us to take them off a few weeks ago and is determined not to have them go back on because he wants to be able to ride his bike like a motorcycle. Now he just uses his feet to push and balance, kind of like those Skut bikes. He's becoming a pretty good boy- I think he'll be a great big brother and he's extremely excited to have a baby brother. He talks all the time about what he's going to do when his brother comes and what his brother will and will not be able to do (i.e.crawl, ride a bike, play with baby toys...)


Zach and I are busy with the usual- work, raising kids, church callings, life... Life's good.
