Lincoln's two bottom teeth came up fully about two weeks ago (which was why he didn't want to sleep at the time). Very cute and very sharp! He's getting a bit more adventurous with his food now; he had raisin toast for brekky today.
We also started swimming lessons with our mothers' group at geelong aquatic centre on wednesday. It was heaps of fun but it went too fast. Linc loved splashing around with his cousin Jack.
The biggest news is that Linc also started CRAWLING about a week and a half ago. He's so funny, he sort of commando crawls on his tummy most of the time and he only gets up on his needs sometimes. He's getting really fast- the thing that makes him go fastest is the TV remote (taking after David already). Help, he's growing up too fast!!!

Go Cats! (from a Bombers supporter...)
Yay, the cats won the grand final. Well done to them, they deserved it! David and Lincoln (a cats fan in the making) were very happy!
Lincoln has decided he doesn't really like sleep any more! I've been struggling to get him to sleep both during the day and night. He eventually falls asleep about midnight but I've become a bit of a walking zombie. Who knows where his routine went- if you see it, send it back our way!
It must be his teeth.....(what else can we blame it on)
We had a busy weekend and caught up with a few friends which was good fun. I even went out (by force) on Thursday night. I can tell you I don't miss going out in Geelong very much! It was pretty tragic but entertaining!

The big three O
Yes, yes, I had my 30th birthday party on the weekend. My actual birthday is on the 27th and I would've had my party next weekend but that's grand final weekend and the party would've been a fizzer! So anyway the party was pretty relaxed (we almost had a disaster when Yvonne tripped over Archie BUT all is ok and no-one was hurt thankfully!!!) I got completely spoilt and I went out today to spend some of my birthday money which was fun.
We also went to Chloe's first birthday today at Barwon Valley fun park which was very cute. The weather was gorgeous.
Lincoln is getting his two bottom teeth at the same time which is a bit painful for him. The poor thing hasn't had a good week- first he got really sick with a fever and a cough and now it's his teeth. Needless to say no-one in this house has had any sleep for the past week or so! His teeth are like little razors. I actually cut my finger when I felt them!

Update
Hi all,
David has been sick at home for the last 3 days so essentially I've had TWO babies to look after! No, but really he has been pretty sick. He seems a bit better today though.
Lincoln turns seven months old on saturday which is unbelievable. David swears he's been saying 'Dad Dad' but I'm not so convinced. I think it's babble that happens to sound a bit like Dad, but I'll keep my ears open!
Archie seems to be doing a little better. I can't see his ribs as much so I think the pancreas is working- slowly. The poor pooch pongs a bit now, but that's a side effect apparently.
Anyway, Linc and I are off to Mothers' group again today. This time it's at Colly and Jack's which is good!

Busy September!
Gee, have we been busy and it's only going to get busier this month....I think we have about 9 birthdays or something ridiculous like that to go to- at least we'll be busy having fun!
David's first Fathers' day was nice- we had brekky at home, did some shopping and spent the night with family. Lincoln and I bought him a Jig Saw and a massive plyer (sp?) set, so he was happy!
Archie is ok at the moment- he's lost a bit more weight but apparently it takes about a month to put weight back on with his condition. It's really gross but instead of enzyme powder the vet has put him on one pig pancreas per day. Joy. Well we don't really care if it will make him better.
Check out Linc trying to feed himself in the pic- he's just too cute. Oh, by the way- for those of you who don't know, Linc was born with a heart murmur. We had it checked out recently and it went away all by itself which is fantastic!!!

Latest news
We found out that Archie's body is killing it's own enzymes that break down food for absorption. It's good news because he doesn't need an operation but it's not that good either because he needs to have enzyme powder added to every meal for the rest of his life or he will effectively starve to death! It's not cheap stuff but at least we can fix him which is the main thing!
David did not get the job he was after but he was asked to consider a technitian's position which would be a massive learning curve for two years and would mean a big pay cut. After the two years learning he would be made an engineer within the company but we think it would make things really hard so he's going to decline and just keep looking elsewhere.....
Lincoln is a bit sick with a cold (I gave him) but he's ok. He had a play with Chloe this morning (pictured together). Chole turns one very soon, so I'm sure they'll have fun at her birthday party at Barwon Valley fun park.

Quick catch up
Lincoln is a busy littleman, rolling ALL the time and throwing his toys around everywhere. His new favourite thing to do is slap or tap everything in sight really hard (including our faces). I think we have a Mr muscles on our hands!
David didn't have much luck with the jobs I mentioned earlier, but he had another interview last week that sounds more promising. They spent almost three hours with him which you probably wouldn't do unless you were keen to employ that person. Anyway he's supposed to find out today if he is successful- will let you know.
On another note our dog Archie is really sick. He's been loosing weight for a month and the vet thinks his pancreas is not functioning any more. We'll find out today or tomorrow what he actually has and whether or not he needs to have a bowel biopsy. Poor pooch, it makes me feel sick looking at him. He's such a happy, loving dog. We'd be lost without him, so we HAVE to fix him!!!
