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.

Lincoln took it pretty easy on the 4th and spent most of the day playing with his buddy Owen and eating anything sugary in his path.

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

Lincoln went to the LB Aquarium today with his cousins, Uncle Brian and his Grandpa. He loved the seals and sea lions.

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.

The little guy busting some moves.

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.

Was it a burglar? A hurricane? Nope, just Lincoln.

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.

We got the little man on video taking some of his longest walks. Not quite a mile, but pretty close.

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).

He came. He saw. He conquered…the park.

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.

For more pictures from Ali check out her site: www.alizalmaraz.com

The two got together today on the West Side to lay down some fresh tracks.

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.

Lincoln dressed up like a Giraffe for his first Halloween. It was a couple sizes too small, but Lincoln was a champ and wore it happily. The baby Halloween party was at Kanokon’s house and all the kid’s had a blast.

Lincoln spent the weekend in Sacramento and got to hang out with his grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin and lots of friends. He did some swimming and a whole lot of crawling. He also took part in a walk to raise money for children’s hospitals.

Lincoln’s in heaven after discovering a new noise to add to his ever growing audio arsenal.

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

Clearly Lincoln is a great reader eater of books.

Let the fun begin.

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.

If we could hear Lincoln think, it might go something like this:

“Hey- hey what’s that you got? A newspaper? Gimme that. Gimme gimme. Let me put it in my mouth. What’s that noise? Turn me around. Now. I wonder if I could put that noise in my mouth. Set me down. Hey. Set me down. Wait, what’s that. A button? Wow, buttons. Lemme see. Stop. Lemme see. I can’t..get..it..in..my..mouth. Set me down. Man I wish I could crawl. That dog is hilarious. He’s all hairy and just sitting there. That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Hey. What’s that on your arm? That shiny thing. Gimme that. Let me put it in my mouth. Bet it tastes good. Hey set me down. Hey what are those? Buttons. Wow, buttons. Gimme your face. I can try and fit your entire head in my mouth. Gimme your eye. I wish I could put my own mouth in my mouth. What’s that? Gimme gimme. An extension cord. Lemme put that in my mouth. Man I like to grunt. Hey turn around. Turn around. What’s that? Let me see that. That’s a table. Lemme put it in my mouth. Hold on. Gimme that chair. Lemme eat it. Hey, who are you? You’re funny. Move. What’s that behind you. Ooh, a light switch. Gimme that. Lemme eat it. Squealing’s fun. And grunting. Who’s that? That’s my mom. I love my mom. Come here. Let me hug you, I mean pinch you, I mean hug you, I mean eat your face. Milk. Milk. Gimme milk now. Milk is good. Hey what’s that…

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 discovered the bounce part of his baby bouncer today.

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.

Watch as Scott and Lincoln break the “Baby Curl” world record.

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 and his good friend Sophie the Giraffe.

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

Some video of Lincoln taking his first roller coaster ride. Come to think of it, I guess this was Henry’s first roller coaster ride too.

Lincoln’s rather talkative these days. It looks like he is about to cry, but then forgets he is about to cry.

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.

Lincoln spent Saturday at his Granparents house for a get together since his Uncle Brian was in town. Everyone wanted to hold him and he loved every minute of it.

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.

We had a few people over today to hang out, BBQ and meet Lincoln. Lincoln slept through most of it, but we think he had a good time when he was awake.

Miriam gave Lincoln the awesome clothes he is wearing in this picture. She thought he would look like Scott in them.

Lincoln rocking his “Daddy Loves Me” shirt while sitting on his daddy’s lap.

Grandpa got to spend a little time with Lincoln today in between building a deck with Scott.

Lincoln and Scott sporting their Carmelo jerseys getting ready for the next round of playoffs.

Scott’s friend Leslie stopped by today to meet the little man. She thought his cheeks were so cute that she wanted to eat them. Oh, and don’t forget to buy Leslie’s new book Wish You Were Here.

Lincoln spent Mother’s day with his mom (her first), Nana, Grandpa and Scott in Marina Del Rey. Lincoln is wondering when it’s Baby’s Day. Umm, that would be everyday.

Lincoln all dressed up as a bear hanging out in a big boy chair.

The little man looked so good in his striped, hooded, boxing attire we had to snap some pics.

Lincoln went down to Huntington Beach to meet his future best friend Jack. Jennifer came from Colorado and got to meet Lincoln as well.

Lincoln and Scott hanging out watching Oprah, uhh, I mean boxing.
