Don't be fooled...Lincoln cannot feed himself quite yet. However, one of his favorite things to do after I feed him is chew on his spoon. This is good solid entertainment for atleast 5 minutes. Enough time for me to do a load of dishes, which is working out quite well for us.

A few weeks ago, Matthias made me some sonoran hotdogs (I am spelling that wrong, I am sure). This is what they are:

bacon wrapped around a hot dog

melty cheddar cheese

slices of avocado

AMAZING!

I told Matthias that I never want to make regular hotdogs again. Ever!

We decided to give camping a try. Only instead of packing up and driving somewhere, we pitched our tent in the back yard. This was to ensure that we didn't get to the camping site only to find out that Lincoln would be keeping us up all night from being thrown off his nightly groove. Turns out it was a good decision. The little guy fell asleep all right, but woke up several times and just didn't have a great time all around. By 4:30 I was running inside with him and putting him in his crib so I could get a few winks of sleep before the day began. Oh well! We are talking bravely about going somewhere anyway and just dealing with some fatigue. We'll see if it pans out. This is him all bundled up for the night outside. And below is a picture of him trying on a warm, cozy hat to see if it fit so he could wear it if it got super cold. A typical night in Anchorage is somewhere in the low 40's.

I don't think it gets much cuter than this:
