Lincoln's 6 months old

6 months old on Dec 25

Lincoln gets presents exactly 6 months apart December 25 on Christmas and June 25 on his birthday. 

Today we had his 6 month appointment and immunization shots. 

He weighs 17 lbs  (45th percentile)

He's 27 1/4 inches tall (70th percentile)

I think he's going to be tall like daddy!

His head is in the 45th percentile

Wears size 3 diapers

Wears 6 month shirts and starting to wear 9 month pants. 

He is the best baby! People always ask me "Is he this good all the time?" Of course he cries when he is hungry and getting shots and what not but for the most part he is just content or happy. 

He loves the jumper roo. 

He normally sleeps from 10 pm to 7 am. 

He can sit up! 

 He isnt too interested in rolling over but he has rolled over both from front to back and back to front. 

He smiles and laughs when we do peek a boo or scare him.

Juliette loves being his big sister. 

Christmas!

The Sunday before Christmas we had a party with the Boam side of the family at Bryan and Janalee's house. We did the nativity play and the cousin gift exchange. Juliette was excited to give Chloe fake nails and a headband and Lincoln gave Nick a itunes giftcard. 

 Eleanor gave Juliette this Doctor set and she is OBSESSED with it. Good choice!

 Jake gave Lincoln this rolly ball- loves it!

Christmas eve was so fun! We had our traditional sea food dinner- loved the crab legs. We had white elephant gift exchange and Santa brought each child an early present- Juliette and Lincoln both got laptops! 

 Then we got our new PJ's and slept over at the Romero's house.

 Christmas morning was so fun! Santa brought Juliette this awesome trampoline and all the Monsters University stuffed animals.

 Lincoln and Juliette got spoiled and loved it!

 Matt gave me a back up camera for my car, clarisonic skin cleansing system, make-up, electric razor and a silhouette. So excited! I also got homemade ice cream maker, pan, organizing containers, and for me and matt to share a desk and shelf.

 Matt got this coat, back up camera for car, Nike + watch, compressor, gun safe, and wireless headphones.

We had such a fun day hanging out with the Romeros. In the morning I talked to David on Google hang out with my family=awesome! He made it to Ukraine is doing well. We had breakfast with the Boam cousins and exchanged brother/sister gifts. We got to talk to Ryan on the phone too. He is doing well in Georgia and going to be home in 6 months! I LOVE missionaries! We watched movies, played and took naps. It was a great day! I love Christmas! I'm so thankful for our Savior Jesus Christ.

Love grows when people serve.”

I know this is super cheesy and I bet Matt doesnt even read my blog ever but I love him. I had a wonderful birthday! Matt gave me a vanity and silhoette. I love make up and crafts. I love being his wife and I'm glad that he loves me and takes such good care of me. Thanks babe!

Christmas came Early

We have been wanting a long L shaped desk for a while now for Matt to do computer work and for me to have a place to sew and do crafts. The Romero's gave us this desk for Christmas and had it delivered right to us!

 We had our Witt Family Christmas party last Sunday with a delicious lunch/dinner, gift exchange and nativity.

Juliette as the wiseman Lol

 I love being home with my sisters!!

 We gave this BYU blanket and gift card to wAIRhouse to Marcus. 

We got some fun family gifts, movie, book and service. 

 I love my presents from Chad and Melinda and my parents. (Paper is a ski pass to snowbird!)

 Juliette LOVES her cell phone. The next morning on the way to day care she said "Camden gave me my cell phone and I got to bring it home, it's mine!" She always needs to play on it when I am on my phone. She loves to color too.

 Matt got a controller to go with his invidia shield and a gift card to steam to buy video games for his invidia shield.

 Juliette LOVES her "I'm a little tea pot" dolly! 

Baxter got his best friend Peanut to come stay with us 

Oh yeah- Baxter is back home and we love him. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had a craft night with a couple friends and made these:

I just cut pieces of wood 15" x 9" and drilled 2 holes at the top, cut the white vinyl on my Cricut, got the jute, wire and bells from JoAnn's and we painted them and I love it!

 We also made cute headbands, button magnets, bracelets and

 decorated notebooks.

 On Black Friday Melinda, Lauren and I made these:

I used the program sure cuts a lot but it's not really compatible with the cricut. They turned out cute!

Juliette loved decorating the Christmas tree. It was fun to have someone help me this year. She thinks the lights are so pretty and liked putting the hooks on the ornaments.

 We saw Santa at the Festival of Trees and no tears! They are so cute. Josephine brought all the day care kids to do some fun activities. Some days I love my job! And I always love my kids.

We have been doing little Christmas crafts together at night. I got some ideas here http://www.littlefamilyfun.com/2012/11/christmas-crafts.html.

We made a snowman with:
egg carton
cotton balls
paper for hat, face and scarf

 Lincoln got a high chair!

 Juliette's Snowman

 We made a Christmas card for my brother on a mission with potato stamps.

 Juliette thought it was fun and did a good job.

 I painted my nails red and Juliette painted the sparkles. She painted her nails too. She is pretty good.
