it’s a little hard to believe you’ve only been with us 1 year, little buddy, because you, daddy and me...we’re such a team.
you're the little sidekick on all our adventures! you’ve ridden on airplanes, boats, trains, and donkeys 🐴 swum in rivers and oceans, hiked up mountains, and crawled through the land of the Bible. you’ve been a trooper. you have a shy little grin that melts our hearts and a big ol’ smile with a squeal at the end. you eat anything we put in front of your face...as fast as you possibly can. #daddysboy you get a little too passionate about strumming or plunking any instrument that's in sight. 🎸 you like playing with your toys, but mostly if mommy or daddy play with you. otherwise you just follow us around and grab your favorite whisk, metronome, marker, hairdryer, or doorstop. you have so many family members, friends (and church fans, haha) that are pretty in love with you, and we have no doubt you will love them back! you watch us with big eyes and are very quiet when we pray. even though you can crawl normally now, you still crawl army style if you need to go super fast. you look pleased as punch when you hold the baton and conduct the church choir & orchestra with Daddy. you never say “mama,” it’s always “mamamamamama...” 😍 we are so thankful every day that God gave you to us. happy 1st birthday little Lincoln-man.
saying farewell to our faithful little #docband! 👋🏼 it has done remarkable things for this little guy in just a few months, and i would highly recommend the treatment. up until the last 2 weeks before he was born, he thought transverse was the comfiest position,🤰🏻so his head was pretty set in a wonky position that wouldn’t resolve on its own. fortunately, they were able to make his helmet at 6 months, right before a few substantial growth spurts, so it worked quickly to help form his head.
i think i shall miss it just a little... his little grin peeking out underneath the brim 💛
the fact that i never worried when he fell and bonked his head 🤪
the conversation starters in public because i designed it like a little knight and wrote “helmet of salvation” on the back 🗡
when he knocked it against the spindles of the crib because it made a cool “klunk klunk” sound 😂

just a couple snips out of an old Mozart mass that i rescued out of the music library’s “free” box during grad school… 
and a little dry erase marker to write the darlin’ special messages. :)
