Chubby Linc!



With his g-tube between his toes...haha...





Exhausted from beating Lebron again at P.I.G.!!




Ready to watch the Buckeyes play!  Linc had his game face on but Daddy was still laughing at the Bigfoot beef jerky commercial!





It's a beard of babyfood peaches...




Oh yeah, toy?? I'm getting pretty tired of hearing you say 'blue... Lion..roaaaarrrrrrrr!'



Where do I start with this photo...hmmm... well we just realized Cole had never actually held Lincoln so we put him on his lap...all cute and smiley.. and just as I'm going to get the camera I hear Lincoln have a BIG POOPY!! Hahahaa.. Cole was MORTIFIED... and I will quote him here "GET HIM.. MOMMMM GET HIMMMM I'M SERIOUS...THIS ISN'T FUNNY'  I took a few pics after cracking up first but laughed for hours.. poor Cole!  Again, NICE PARENTING MOM!




Cole and Kiki Sue!  She's 105 years old and still kicking!  And I'm sure you can tell by her facial expression that she is NOT a big fan of Cole!!  HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY!  I think here she is really wishing for her claws back!



Thank ya, Thank ya very much!  He and Cole are obsessed with Elvis.. good impression Dink!



I just had to include this pic of our house after Greg decorated it... he made the 'R' on the front and Cole loved it! Oh, and then he proudly took this picture!  Love him....



Oh yeah??   So Lebron is saying he wants a RE-MATCH? Bring it on!



Cole, go get your NERF gun, I'm gonna shoot me some annoying HUGE mice!  Hurry!



Haha Cole.. still looking for your new Nintendo DSi?  Hmmm.... it's definitely NOT under my blankie... try the litterbox.. just a thought!

Lincoln is doing well... He loves being home... he is sooo much fun.. and he is also sooo spoiled!  Haha, no really.  He needs constant attention, but we are more than happy to give it to him.  Big brother Cole is such a huge help.. he can always get Linc to smile and laugh..and of course, Linc cracks Cole up with his funny sounds and behavior... he's a funny little guy!  His appointment today was good.. eye exam showed the hemorrhage starting to break up, which is good, and it isn't affecting his vision.  His gastro weekly checkup showed good blood work and weight gain.. we are increasing his g-tube feeds to 13ml/hour and tpn is staying as is, with an additive of Pepcid to the tpn.  Everything else is great!  He was 16lb 3oz today... He loves watching the big tv but he gets upset when commercials interupt his favorite shows.. soo funny!  Spoiled from his little crib flatscreen that only played movies with no irritating commercials (which we of course have installed in his new crib too)!  He also loves his new Leapfrog Bear from Aunt Terra, Uncle Austin, and Isabel.. it says his name and is adorable!  He got soo many great toys for Christmas.. it's fun to bring new ones out to play with him.. School is back in session which means Cole and Greg are busy busy busy!  But we are adjusting to life with the little man home and all his meds and routine and it's really not that bad.. it's all worth it.. and it's really no big deal when you get used to it.. I know it's probably alarming to people that have never dealt with these issues.. I know I would think it would be so horrible and impossible to deal with the medications, injections, pumps, tubes, needles, etc..  if it wasn't us in this situation.. but you adjust and it becomes your new normal... and we are happy.  We are looking forward to the day that he can be free of all these things but until then we take one day at a time and are enjoying every minute of it!

  3. I am so glad to see you are still updating everyone with the blog. I know you guys are super busy, but I also know a lot of people are still keeping track of linky dink and really appreciate the updates. I don't know if people tell you enough but Lincoln if VERY fortunate to have you two as his parents. Through all the trials and tribulations you both have supported each other and your families and have proven what real love is all about. I think you both are amazingly strong and courageous people! You just need to hear from time to time that we are very proud of the job that your doing and know that if Lincoln could talk right now he would be telling you a million times over how much he loves and appreciates everything you are doing each and every day! Talk to you guys soon! Tracy
