Two Months

Lincoln went to the doctor today and he's grown (duh)! He weighs 11 lbs 14 oz (60 something percentile) and is in the 96th percentile for height! The doctor was very impressed with how well he was holding his head up and said he was doing it as well as a four month old. Go Lincoln!

Lincoln is such a sweet little guy. He loves to smile and coo at anyone who will look at him. He's sleeping great, eating great, and is just perfect. We feel so blessed to have him in our family. None of us can get enough of him.

My friend Bridget had a great idea to compare Parker's pictures from the same age, so here's Parker when he was two months old! Do you think they look alike?

Easterness

We had a lovely, quiet Easter weekend here in San Diego. We kicked off the weekend with a Ward Easter egg hunt.

It took Parker a minute to figure out what was going on and that he was supposed to collect the eggs in his basket, but once he did, he got a big kick out of the whole thing.

After awhile he dropped the basket, and would find eggs and then run them back to it.

We spent the majority of the weekend lounging around attempting to watch General Conference with two babies.

On Sunday morning Parker found his Easter basket filled with lots of goodies.

Then he "hunted" for eggs (they were all in plain sight). He didn't really get the grass concept and had to dump it out before he would put any eggs in the basket.

Sunday afternoon we went out to take some pictures of the boys in their Easter outfits. Parker wasn't very cooperative, but we got a few cute ones!

Lincoln's Blessing

A few weekends ago we were able to bless our little Lincoln. So many of our family came into town to participate and support us, it was so wonderful, and we were so thankful to have them here with us.

The new and improved Schmidt family

Stafford, Kevin, Meg, Grandpa Southwick, Lincoln, Ashley, Sam, Sue, Parker, Annie, McKay, Grandma Southwick, and Robert

Howard, Scott, Terri, Lincoln, Ashley, Sam, Grandma Scholl, Dad, Mom, Parker

The men who helped bless Lincoln

We had a little photo shoot with Lincoln after the blessing. He's beautiful if I say so myself (and I do).

He did it!

I guess it's finally time to officially announce to the "world" that Sam was accepted to Kellogg! Yay! We're shocked, humbled, proud (I am), and really really excited. We'll be moving up to Evanston this August and school starts in September. It will be sad to leave beautiful San Diego, but we're definitely ready to take this next step in our lives. Come visit us in Chicago!!

One Month (a little late)

Please somebody slow down time!

Road Trip

A few weeks ago we packed up the family and headed to cold Provo for my friend Bridget's baby shower. The weekend went by too fast, but it was fun to see family and friends. Kristin and Adam kindly let us stay at their new cute house in Orem. Thanks guys!

Saturday morning we met up with my cousins for breakfast at Magelby's Fresh.

Parker and Logan

Clark and Parker were fast friends, tossing around jam packets :)

Lincoln and Cali

I swiped some pictures off Bridget's blog because I forgot my camera at the shower. She got lots of cute stuff, and a lot of pink!

The girls! (and Lincoln)

Can't wait for that baby girl to get here!

Mom's Visit

I thought I would post the rest of the pictures from when my mom was here. It was so wonderful to have her here and I was really sad to see her go so soon.

In between her making delicious dinner every night, doing all my laundry, and baking brownie cheesecake (which I'm pretty sure I ate more than half of)...

she found time to entertain Parker too! One morning they had fun building and playing in a fort

She snapped some cute pictures when they were out on a walk one day.

We miss you Grandma!
