Grandma and Papa Boyd from down south came up today to hang with Lincoln and Hazel.

Ali took some great pics of Lincoln at, and on his way to, the park. Check ‘em out. Also, for more great Ali pics — www.alizalmaraz.com

Lucas left to go back to Argentina after a 2 week stay, Lincoln’s gonna miss him.

2 parts corn starch, 1 part water, 4 parts messy but 8 parts fun.

Lincoln really digs the Elmo PJs his Nana gave him.

Lincoln and Hazel took a trip to the OC today to see Papa and Grandma and get in the holiday spirit by visiting Roger’s Gardens (which is a nursery that goes a little crazy with holiday cheer this time of year).

Lincoln found  a new special friend at the mall today. She was a big fan of the little guy. I didn’t press him too hard afterward in the car for details as not to embarrass him. You know how kids are.

Just two dudes hanging in the yard wearing hoodies.

My Grandma Junod made this cool pillow cover that looks like a snake, Lincoln loves it.

Bronson an Nicole stopped by today to see Hazel and hang with Lincoln.

Made specially for Lincoln by one of Ann’s uber talented colleagues.

Yes, he is special.

Actually it’s sunflower see butter, but Lincoln loves it all the same.

The Grandparents came up to hang with Lincoln and Hazel today. Lincoln got very spoiled.

Lincoln approves.

Lincoln celebrated his second Halloween today. He started off at The Grove playing in some hay bales and finished off the day at a party at the Huffman’s complete with some trick or treating. Lincoln didn’t know what to do with the candy he got, but he sure did like getting it. He also had a handful of costume changes, just to make sure he was keeping it live.

Lincoln went to his first pumpkin patch this weekend. Although he didn’t get a pumpkin he did visit the petting zoo, hang out with his pal Owen, ride a pedal powered train, ride around in a trackless train, ride around in a wagon, and almost get bucked off a pony (we might see Lincoln in the rodeo someday).

Sebastian and Lincoln hung out the whole day and had a ton of fun together.

The title pretty much sums it up.

Lincoln hit up two birthday parties, one for Zeke and a combo one for Martzi and Jonah. He thoroughly enjoyed the fire truck/castle bouncy thing as well as having a shark painted on his face. With Sunday being one of the hotter days of the summer, the little guy found himself cooling off in front of a mister.

Ali has been one of the greatest contributors in Operation “Document Everything Lincoln Ever Does.” Below is a pretty hilarious video and some great recent pics of the guy. You can see more of Ali’s work here: www.alizalmaraz.com.

Mr. Lincoln headed up to Sacramento this weekend to see his Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle and most importantly his Cousin Heidi. He spent a good chunk of time playing with toys that his mom played with when she was a youngin. There was some swimming and ice cream eating going on as well.

The little man attended Willow’s birthday in the am and headed to the carnival with his buddy Owen in the PM. Surprisingly he was not into chocolate cake or sno-cones. But he did dig the petting zoo, the carousel and the Ferris wheel.

Lincoln getting almost as much chalk on himself as he got on the sidewalk.

Here are a few recent pictures of the little man taken by Ali.

We took Lincoln to Colorado Springs for a few days to spend with Ann’s side of the family. He had a great time hanging out with his cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles. He swam a bunch, went to his first zoo and visited the Garden of the Gods.

We took Lincoln up to Ojai for the night this weekend. He had a great time seeing his Grandparents, golfing and swimming.

Lincoln hanging out at Aunt Jan’s house in the pool with his cousins.

Ali took some pretty cool pics of Lincoln recently. They are below. For more Ali pics — www.alizalmarez.com.

Little man and cousin Heidi getting clean after a hard day of play. And yes, they’re cousins, but it’s not weird b/c they are babies

The little guy headed South to Long Beach today to check out the aquarium. He touched a Ray, a snake, a bird and saw a bunch of different fish. He even got to see some sharks.

Lincoln and the family headed up North to San Francisco for the weekend to help his cousin Heidi celebrate her first b-day. Lot’s of food and plenty of babies. It was Mother’s day as well so the little guy did a lot of partying.

Mr. Lincoln is learning to feed himself. Believe it or not he did manage to get some in his mouth.

We busted out the water table that Lincoln got for his birthday today. He managed to get himself very wet.

We took Mr. Lincoln to Disneyland today and he had a ball. He went on Buzz Lightyear, the rocket ships and a Small World. He liked the rides so much that he cried when we tried to get him off. He also played for a long time at his buddy Goofy’s house. Definitely check out the video at the bottom, Lincoln looking very amazed in It’s a Small World.

Lincoln headed down south to his grandparents on Sat and got to hang out with a whole bunch of family. He also got two stuffed bunnies, some cars and a shovel. On Easter Sunday he had breakfast at his fav restaurant at the Farmer’s Market and did some coloring.

Lincoln headed down South today to Newport Beach to hang out with his buddy Bronson for Bronson’s Mom’s Birthday. They swam, ate, got dirty and bathed. Busy Sunday.

Ali’s friend has a daycare and little Lincoln got to go hang out with the kids today. Ali took some great pics.

Ali has taken some great pictures of Lincoln lately, so we though we’d show off a few. To see more of Ali’s photography check out her site: www.alizalmaraz.com.

Just a few pics and videos of the little guy cruising around the park on Sunday.

The little man just got back from his first trip out of the country — he went to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. Other than the fact that he got his first fever while down there, it was pretty awesome. He went swimming, went to the beach, ate some good food and got the first stamp in his passport.

Little man had party #2 today for his first birthday. This was the family version. He had cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, great aunts, great uncles and great grandparents in attendance. Here’s a link to the party on dather: Lincoln’s First B-Day.

Yep, hard to believe, but the little guy is almost one. Crazy. We celebrated by having a bunch of his friends over for some BBQ and cupcakes. Lincoln had a blast. Coming up next week is the family version of his first B-day. Here’s a link to the party on dather: Lincoln’s First B-Day.

We took Mr. Lincoln down south today to have lunch with his grandparents. He ate a the Rainforest Cafe where he got to see fish, gorillas and a lady that made balloon animals. After that he rode on the merry-go-round, he dug it.

Either the little guy has been watching a little too much Zoolander or spending too much time with the JC Penny catalog. Thanks to Ali for the great pics.

Here’s a quick picture of the little man making it very difficult for his dad to get a photo that would be acceptable to the passport folks. In case you are wondering, this one did not make the cut as I don’t think they allow monster babies to travel abroad.

Lincoln had a couple of his babes, Evie and Abby, over today. He showed them his walking skills, his yelling skills and the huge stuffed dog he has in his room.

Since we don’t have enough of them already, here are some more pics of the little guy.

Ali’s been taking some great pics of Lincoln lately so I decided it was high time to put up a post. I think they all rule, but the first one is my fav. So if you’re looking for a photographer keep Ali in mind. Here is a link to her site: Aliza Almaraz.

The Boyd house was overrun with small children today. They crawled, played, licked and had a grand time. I think Lincoln wants a ton of brothers and sisters.

Lincoln made his way down south today to visit his pal Katell in San Diego. They had fun going to lunch, the park and a toy store. Lincoln was bummed they didn’t make it to the race track, but we promised him next time he could bet on the ponies.

The little guy celebrated his first Xmas today. He opened up presents in the morning and decided that the dog toy and his old shoe were his favorites. Then in the afternoon it was off to Riverside to celebrate with the family.

Yeah, we’ve all heard the rumors about the Bumblebees — the moonshine distilleries, the gambling problems, the armed robberies, the drag racing, etc — but I tell you what, these chicks know how to par-tay. We’re talking white elephant gift exchanges, a 20lb turkey, homemade flan, peppermint brownies, booze, you name it. Oh and they know how to give birth to some badass kids.

Lincoln had a blast at Owen’s first birthday party. There were tons of kids, a taco truck and great cake (Lincoln only got to enjoy the kids).

Lincoln spent another weekend up north in Sacramento at his nana and grandpa’s house. His Uncle Forrest, Aunt Betty, Cousin Heidi and buddy Helen were there as well. He did a lot of crawling around, watched the CA International Marathon in near freezing temperatures and got to see his nana sing in a concert (he even did a little of his own singing screaming from the audience).

Ali took Lincoln to the park to meet up with his new friend Dylan. The report back was that although Lincoln linked Dylan, he liked the older girls more.

Lincoln thinks Ali is the bees knees (as do we). We are very lucky to be able to have her hang out with Lincoln. She’s also a great photographer. A few pics and a link to her site below.

Mr. Lincoln celebrated his first Thanksgiving today at home in Culver City with three generations of family — parents, grandparents and great grandparents. He also ate a ton of mashed potatoes.

We took the little man to Palm Springs for the weekend to help celebrate his Grandpa’s 70th birthday. It was a ton of fun hanging out with Grandpa, Nana, Uncle Forrest, Aunt Betty, Cousin Heidi and friends Dee and Abe.

Lincoln hung out at the park today. As most boys do, he likes dirt, swings and tunnels.

Mr. Crandall and Mr. Spinella visited our little man for the first time today.

Lincoln spent Saturday with family and friends at his Great Grandpa’s 90th birthday. Lincoln is 89.5 years younger than that.

Thanks to Rosalyn for the photos.

Lincoln likes the older women.

Lincoln swam in something besides the bathtub for the first time today. He dug it.

Thanks to Kim C for the awesome wetsuit.

Lincoln’s first Labor day baby party was a biggie — BBQ, baby friends, milk and toys. Oh, and he’s totally gonna wear white tomorrow.

Lincoln had a blast at Sebastian’s first Bday. His favorite balls were the yellow ones. Tasty.

Lincoln had fun playing at Jen and Luke’s house on Friday. Like any good kid he likes to play in the sand, eat the sand and then go swinging.

Lincoln’s buddy Ali took him to the park and the library today. Looks like he had more fun at the park.

Nana and Grandpa came down to visit Lincoln this weekend. Lincoln got to spend a bunch of time with them and Mom and Dad got to see a movie. Imagine that.

Books are tasty. Hair is fun to pull. And Scott is a vampire.

The first installment of Lincoln Super Baby.

After Lincoln played with two of his best buddies today, Owen and Bronson, he slept like a baby. A baby like in the saying, meaning he slept a lot. Not like a baby in real life, b/c those babies definitely don’t sleep like babies.

The little man’s all prepared to have a good night’s sleep. Or a few hours anyway. Lincoln is decked out in the super sweet monkey PJs his Aunt Betty and Uncle Forrest gave him.

Lincoln had a blast at Sloane’s first birthday party today. He especially loved the bouncy house thing.

Lincoln’s getting pretty good at being on his stomach. His pushing up with his arms and getting very frustrated that he can’t move. I can’t wait ’til we can send him out to get the paper.

Lincoln made the trip up north this weekend to meet his Cousin Heidi for the first time. He also got to meet his new pals Evie, Spencer, Rogue and some chickens. Lincoln kept busy checking out the Ferry Building, the Presidio and Berkley. He was a champ during the long drive as well.

We all headed down to the Granparents house in SJC to hang out with Brian, Aidan, Noah and Danny as well as to celebrate Dan and Scott’s B-days. Fun was had by all. Thankfully Slip ‘n Slide is as fun as ever.

Lincoln had his first meal of “solid” foods today — rice cereal mixed with formula…tasty. He definitely liked it though.

Lincoln spent the weekend at the Carter’s ranch in CO. It was a weekend of firsts — his first trip out of state (CO), his first plane ride, his first train ride (DIA tram), his first bus (rent-a-car shuttle), his first car accident (a fender bender really) and his first time meeting his cousins. He loved being in the outdoors and looking at all kinds of new things.

Lincoln sent his first email today and luckily we were there to document it. There’s an excerpt below, it’s pretty heavy stuff.

Lincoln is loving his Super Seat. He spent over an hour in there today just grabbing, hitting and laughing.

Grandma Boyd came up to do some babysitting of Lincoln today and Grandpa Boyd stopped by later to feed Lincoln some dinner.

Lincoln celebrated his first Fourth of July with a BBQ in his back yard. He got to hang of with a bunch of friends including Owen.

Lincoln was pretty excited to see Talia again. Not as excited as Henry, but pretty excited nonetheless.

Lincoln spent his first Father’s Day at his grandparents house in San Juan Capistrano. There was a ton of family there and Lincoln got to spend some quality time with his Great Aunt’s and Uncle’s.

Lincoln’s cousin Tori has been hanging/nannying Lincoln for the past month. She leaves in a few days and no doubt Lincoln will go through withdrawals.

Lincoln got to meet and hang out with his new friend Sebastian on Saturday. I predict they will be good pals.

Lincoln went to Kristin and Karin’s graduation party in Whittier on Friday. No joke, I think he was held by 20 different people, and he loved every minute of it. Especially the ladies.

Lincoln hanging out at dinner in his Bumbo.

Lincoln hanging out with his buddy Owen on Sunday.

Jeff and Patty were visiting from New York and stopped by to meet little Lincoln.

Not really. But we did take Lincoln to the beach for the first time with Ann, Scott, Jana and Tori. He’s not surfing yet, but soon.
