At his two month appointment he weighed 12 lbs 15 oz, measured 23.5 inches long, and was diagnosed with baby eczema. <br />
<br />
Lincoln is such a good eater. At this point he is taking 6 ounces every 4 hours during the day and, if we get lucky, nothing at night! Mr. Lincoln slept through the night for the first time at 7 weeks. Unfortunately, he's not consistently sleeping through the night, but more like every fourth night. I'll take what I can get!<br />

During month two the boys have definitely become more interested in each other. Given loves his little brother and announces his arrival at daycare every afternoon during pick-up. He also loves to sing to him, give him his pacifier, and pat his head. In turn, Lincoln loves the attention and is always smiling at Given. Lincoln also follows Given with his eyes whenever he is in the room. I hope they grow up being besties! Check out the cute videos <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnrsGxy7Gpg&list=UU6OVO_yciycPIlcdqc4agCQ" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8ON1jkFeNM&list=UU6OVO_yciycPIlcdqc4agCQ" target="_blank">here.</a><br />

Lincoln was baptized on March 8th at St. Vincent de Paul by Father Ken. He wore the same baptismal gown that his Grandma Eoff wore, that I wore, that Given wore, and many of his Strube kin wore! That gown is very special to us.<br />

Also during month two, Mr. Given was potty trained. He is doing such a good job and we are very proud of Big Brother!<br />

It's hard capturing both of my boys together, Given is quick, but here are a few that I squeaked in. I have yet to attempt a formal shoot. (Given is doing really well accepting Lincoln's arrival. He is becoming more and more interested in Lincoln with every passing day. Given calls him "Baby Lincoln".)</div>

Lincoln Zane made his grand entrance into the world on January 13th! He weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz and was 21.5 inches long.<br />
<br />
We sure have loved him being here, but this has been quite the interesting month! Grandma Eoff came to help out. - Grandpa Eoff joined her a few days later. - Nana and Jeddi came to visit for a week. - Lincoln caught a cold on week 2. - Momma pulled a muscle in her back. - We've had many visits from our wonderful friends (bearing gifts and food). - Lincoln passed his cold on to me and Given. - Celebrated two 33rd birthdays! PHEW!<br />
<br />
Lincoln's one month appointment went really well. He now weights 10 lbs 5 oz and is 22 inches long.<br />
<br />
Lincoln is a very good eater! He's been taking 4 oz of formula every 3 to 4 hours since he's been a week old. At this point he definitely could take more, but the doctor thinks I should stay at 4 oz for now. Poor thing is only a month old and already on a diet!! <br />
<br />
I'm not really sure if Lincoln is a good sleeper. Its hard to tell with the cold and all his congestion. Poor thing has trouble breathing, so sleeping is kind of hard. Thank goodness for our friends Emily and John who gave us their baby swing. He loves that swing! He also really just wants to be held while he sleeps...<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of pictures I took of my one-month old baby! I will post more picture from our crazy first month soon!<br />

Today is my last day of full-time employment! Hopefully this will mean I will have more time to keep this blog up to date. Please stay tuned! <br />
<br />
Given's 18 month checkup was yesterday. My big boy now weighs 25 lbs and he is 33.5 inches long. And in case you were wondering, Given has now been walking for two months! We are now running and playing soccer. See for yourself:<br />

How did I let this blog get away from me for 3 months? Do you think I can catch you up, or should I just start with the most current news?! Maybe I will try and get you all up to date! At the very least, I should have Given's monthly pictures that I can post!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, we are alive, and although I'm super late in posting, I have been taking pictures! For Given's 8 month birthday San Francisco decided to give us our first beach weather weekend! Going to the beach with an 8 month old wasn't nearly as fun as going sans children. I thought it would be easier since Given isn't crawling yet, but I forgot to factor in that he puts everything into his mouth!!!!!! I think our next beach trip will be several months from now!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had a great Easter weekend! Saturday Omar and I had our first night away from Given while he stayed with Aunt Brooke and Uncle Randy in Napa. Omar and I were able to sneak off around noon. We enjoyed cocktails in the sun and lunch at Rutherford Grill, visited two wineries in Yountville (Cliff Lede and Girard), checked into our B&B in St. Helena, stuffed ourselves with steak, grits, asparagus, mac and cheese, and cheddar biscuits at Farmstead (delicious), decided to see the late showing of Hunger Games, and slept in! Sunday we arrived back to B&R's just in time for the Easter Bunny! I think you can actually see the Easter Bunny in the third picture...or is that Gypsy? After the Easter Bunny we had a nice relaxing lunch and afternoon hanging with the Hesters!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Given's big milestones in March were sitting up on his own and his first tooth! Given is a really easy baby. He rarely cries and he loves to sleep. Ummmm, cutting his first tooth was HARD. He ran a really high fever and just cried and cried and cried and cried. Poor little thing (and poor momma and daddy). He was so uncomfortable. Also, for the first time since probably he was a month old, he woke up every 2 hours in the night and just wanted to be rocked. Lets all keep our fingers crossed that the next teeth aren't quite as bad!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Given also loves his soft toys! And now that I feel comfortable that he is not going to suffocate himself with any of them, we have quite the line up for bedtime - Monsieur Rat (who came all the way from Paris), a giraffe softie (thanks, Kim!), and his lion pacifier (who gets more swung and thrown around than sucked on)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh, don't let these pictures fool you, this was the day after the cutting of the tooth incident. He was having a happy 10 minutes and I was able to sneak these pictures in.</span></div>Whitneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299753785753018904noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013634921103920833.post-87932762218350796072012-03-04T18:54:00.008-08:002012-03-09T16:34:14.779-08:00Just a swingin'<div style="text-align: center;">
Why can't every weekend be like this weekend - sunny and 70 degrees? We had such beautiful weather, and we took full advantage! We spent the majority of Saturday and Sunday outside - running, eating, napping, and SWINGING. We finally had the perfect weather to take Given to the playground, and he loved the swings!

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday: Breakfast / Pfeiffer Beach where it was so windy and quite chilly. At this point Given wasn't feeling so great, so it wasn't the relaxing picnic on the beach trip; however, we got him out there for about 45 minutes and got our photo opportunities! / Instead of picnicking on the beach we headed back to our vacation rental and let Given nap while we enjoyed some bubbles and the beautiful view! / Once Given woke up it was time for some coffee at Big Sur Bakery AND then the whole purpose of the trip - <a href="http://www.nepenthebigsur.com/">Nepenthe</a>. Nepenthe did not let us down. We were able to get a seat outside, under a heat lamp, and along the railing where we were able to view the ocean and the mountains. Unfortunately the whales had already migrated two weeks earlier, so no whale spotting. This restaurant has some of the most beautiful views. We got there around 3:30 and stayed to see the sun set. Thankfully we had wonderful waitresses that didn't mind us loitering (with a baby) over a cheese plate and a bottle of wine and then eventually dinner! If you are ever in the area, you must go there!!!! / Afterwards we headed back to the rental and watched the Grammy's. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are back from Tahoe! I only got this one picture with my iPhone since I really couldn't carry my camera while skiing! Omar had a great time back on his board, I really enjoyed skiing again, but was quite rusty, and Given had a blast with aunt B & uncle R in the Tahoe Village!! A big thanks to Justin (the lone skier pictured above) and Ryan for hosting us at their cabin!</span></div>

This is how we rolled through Napa this Saturday! <br />
<br />
We heard there was going to be great weather in Napa, so Omar wanted to spend his re-do birthday with the Hesters. We headed up to Napa after lunch then took a bike ride to the Oxbow Market for a little vino! The bike Omar is riding is mine and Omar's birthday gift from B&R! Pretty sweet, right? Given loved riding with his Daddy. He was mesmerized by the wheels and the ground moving under him!! After our bike ride we watched Midnight in Paris over Chinese take-out and a million loads of laundry. Great movie, yummy food, and laundry without going to the laundromat - a great night!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, please don't call CPS if you don't think this looks safe!!! We are researching baby bike seats.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's see, what has been going on around here? Given is now rolling over and we are working on sitting up on his own! He still loves bath time. He goes down around 6:30 pm and sleeps for a solid 12 hours. He takes four 8 oz bottles of day. At first he drank really, really slowly, but now he is gotten a bit quicker. He is doing great at Claudette's Daycare and has four good friends. One little girl is just a few weeks older than him. Claudette caught them holding hands the other day! He is going to be quite the ladies' man.</span></div>

This last weekend was Omar's birthday weekend - unfortunately on his big day he was sick! He thinks it was food poisoning. Yuck! We had a great day on Saturday though and he gets to make up for his sick day this weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Saturday we had lunch at Balboa Cafe where they gave us a chocolate fudge sundae in honor of Omar turning another year older! After naps we packed up Given in the baby Bjorn and continued celebrating with appetizers and cocktails on the Typsy Pig's back porch with our neighbors and the Hesters!!! The Typsy Pig is a restaurant/bar, but we totally rocked the baby in the bar portion! As usual, he was the perfect baby.</div>

On Sunday Given and I went to Trader Joe's so that Omar could take a nap and try to feel better. I guess the nap worked a little, because he was able to partake in a little birthday cake! Oh, and we can't forget that Sunday was Gypsy's birthday as well! He turned 6 years old!</div>
