Weight: 30-ish lbs
Sleep: It's all good in the Toddler-hood. Sleep is going pretty well. We have started to push bedtime up a little and we have found it to be true once more that "sleep begets sleep" by putting him to bed earlier he will sleep longer. Tuesday he was in bed by 7:30pm and didn't wake up until we had to get him out of bed at 7:10am.
He has started waking up and sleep talking, it is so funny...I forget what he was saying the first time he did it a few weeks ago but this morning he was asking to watch Caillou in his sleep.
Food: Well, Linc seemed to enjoy all our Thanksgiving trimmings and whatnot, and he didn't object too much to eating leftovers through out the weekend. He definitely liked the pumpkin pie that we got from Mom's Apple Pies Bakery.

Best Moment This Week: We had a nice little Thanksgiving and after we relaxed and ate and relaxed again, we put Linc to bed & Todd braved the lines at Best Buy from 10pm-12am. He emerged from the store victorious with a brand new sparkly 55" lcd flat screen TV. It is awesome and also still in the box. We have to come up with a game plan on where exactly it is going, main level or basement, but it will be awesome where ever it ends up.
We did a lot of cleaning over the weekend, so that felt good. The garage and basement are now nice and tidy, next up is to tackle the guest bedroom since we will hopefully have some visitors come January (Yay Isaacs Family visit) and perhaps more in Feb/March timeframe as well (I am looking at you, Carmeans).
We also took Linc to a Music class at Gymboree & met a new friend there Mr. N, and hopefully we'll have a playdate setup in the near future.
And we hung out with Miss B (one of kiddos in our neighborhood) and took her a 1st bday present. Linc & her had a jam sesh and played the drums & other instruments.
Lastly, Linc will have a new little play buddy when we go back to Indiana, well, maybe not quite this visit but in a year or two anyway. My cousin welcomed a second little boy yesterday, Blaine, who joins big brother Braxton who is a good little playmate of Linc's when we are in town. We are so excited to meet Blaine in just a few weeks! Congrats to the Witmers!
Worst Moment This Week: Took my car to Jiffy Lube this week and they royaly messed up my car, so it's been a real repair shop the past few days. This has caused Todd & I to carpool which isn't all bad since I don't have to drive, but it does present scheduling challenges.
UPDATED to add: Another worst moment and the reason the blog is so late is that Friday evening one of my teeth started to hurt and I was not feeling so great. Well that little bit of discomfort turned to A LOT of pain and so I found myself at our dentist Saturday morning while Todd & Linc went to Tot Shabbat. Now I've got some prescriptions to keep my comfortable until my scheduled re-do of a root canal on my #14 molar. Yay. ::insert sarcasm here::
So they say bad things happen in threes...hopefully we are done for a little while, k thanks universe.

Starting to plan the little man's big 2nd Birthday Bash
Movement: walking: check, running: check, jumping: check, climbing: check, dancing: check
Milestones:Toddler toys; Wondering what kind of toys to give your child for his upcoming birthday? Whatever you choose, be sure to check the boxes or labels to confirm that every item is safe for the under-3 crowd.
Toys labeled for age 3 and up pose a choking hazard or other risks to younger children. (See more tips for toy safety.)
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Toys that let kids pretend: play cash registers, brooms and dustpans, phones, toy dishes, toy food, dress-up clothes, trucks, trains and cars, dolls and doll strollers and cradles
- Toys to manipulate: dolls with buttons and zippers, blocks of all types, the toddler version of colorful plastic building bricks
- Action toys: ride-on vehicles, wagons, balls, climbing structures, carts
- Musical toys: Drums, tambourines, xylophones, cymbals
- Books: Your child can never have too many!
