I gave Lincoln some rice cereal. He watches me like a hawk when I eat so I thought is was time to let him try it. He loves it. I really think he likes eatting off a spoon. Last night Rob feed him and it was so cute to watch. I love how involved he likes to be.

In other news:
1. We are looking for a camper. Rob does not like tent camping.
2. I need to get more motivated on going to the gym. I have been rather lazy. I need to lose about 10-15 pounds. I am trying to set a goal for myself. I just haven't figured out what that should be. I was watching the Ironman in Hawaii and those people are awesome.
3. I don't know where I am going to work in the fall. The schools have still not renewed our contracts. I am kind of enjoying staying home. I do miss the adult interaction.
4. I run out of things to do with Lincoln during the day. Any ideas. He is almost 4 months.
5. Rob is finally working some overtime!!!
6. Relay for life is coming up soon.

That is about all I can think of. I really need to post about vacation and put on some newer pictures.

Upper GI test

Lincoln is still spitting up (vomiting) like crazy (10-15 times after a feeding). I took him back to the doctors and I finally got some good news. He put on some weight. He is now 14.7. But, they had me take him to the hospital for an upper GI. He had to drink contrast and they filmed his abdomen. The good news is that he does not have pyloric stenosis. The bad news is they don't know why he spits up so much. It was a big relief to get that news. He is going to stay on the prevacid and we go back in about 2 weeks.

Prevacid

Lincoln is still spitting up like crazy... so they changed his medicine to prevacid. I really hope is helps. I feel awful for him. It has started coming out his nose again. he is still not putting on much weight. He only weighs 14lbs. On a positive note he almost rolled over this week. He is babbling up a storm. He loves to "talk" to his bib or blanket. He holds them in front of his face and babbles. I am going to try to video tape it this weekend. He is laughing, holding his own toys and teething ring in his mouth. I also gave him rice cereal this week and he loved it. I feed him off a spoon and he could not get enough of it. He had been eyeing our food for almost 2 weeks. My mom gave him a taste of banana and he wanted more. I am hoping the rice cereal will also help with the reflux.

You know your life has changed when you are updating your blog on a friday night!!

Vacation

Houghton Lake and Petoesky... We had a great time. The weather was cool dropping into the 40's at night. It was Lincolns first vacation and first camping trip. My mom, dad, sister, brother all went also. The trip was filled with lots of memories. We didn't really catch any fish at Houghton Lake. Lincoln got to go on his first boat ride. We had him all bundled up. He fell asleep right away. Then we headed up to Petoesky and that is were the trip got intresting. Rob was pulling my mom and dad's pop-up and about 2 miles after we got on the highway Rob yelled WOAAAA. he then proceeded to pull over. My sister, mom, and myself were looking around like what happened. We got out of the truck and to our suprise found that the roof of the pop-up had flown off. We were shocked. My dad and brother were ahead of us. So I called them as my mom and Rob were tracking down the matress that had also flown off. When my dad and brother got turned around they along with Rob walked back to get the top of the camper. They had to cross the fence and into the swamp to get it. It took all 6 of us to get it back on. They bungied it back on and tied it down and we were off to petoesky. My mom and I had to do laundry when we got there and the boys decieded that they could get it back together. We thought no way but 2.5 rolls of ducktape later it was up. If you could only see this thing. It was a sight. The whole trip we laughed about our pop-off. Petoesky was beautiful. The state park was great and the sunsets were stunning. Lincoln did great.
