And after the party we headed back to the house to open Mim-mim and pap's present (as it was too heavy to carry to the bouncehouse!). A TRAIN TABLE!! "ChooChoo!!" says Lincoln. "Where the heck are we gonna put it?" says mommy....
Uncle Nana and Aunt Kissen came down a few days prior to the party to go to birthday dinner with us. We had a good time at Old Chicago (Lincoln's favorite). Aunt Kissen is ready to have baby Annalee anyday now!
Lincoln update:
Lincoln is now wearing 2t pants, 3t shirts - size 8.5 xwide shoe.
He weighs 30 pounds 4oz (which is 74%) and is 36.5'' tall (91%)
We are still working towards potty training, and making small progresses....
Our favorite foods are chicken nuggins with sauce (ketchup), pizza, pretzels with sauce (cheese), gummy snacks, candin (candy), suckers, and choky milk (chocolate milk). As a matter of fact, when we say our nightime prayers, he always thanks Jesus for suckers and choo-choos. :)
Speaking of Jesus, while shopping the other day, he comes running around the corner of an aisle yelling "Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus!!" - upon looking I realize he is yelling at a Muslim lady wearing a burkha... Oops...
Lincoln loves to play any kind of ball. Basketball, golf, catch, whatever - he is in! He also still loves his trains and tractors.
He says the absolute funniest (and unexpected) things. The other day, Nanny was borrowing a space heater, and as she put it in her car, he looked at her very seriously and said "Leave it hewe!" And he's recently started being very independent, stating "Lincoln do it!" Unless it's regarding making a mess, to which he replies, "Wiam do it!" And he responds to questions now with a very serious "Wes" (yes). The funniest was the other day in Hobby Lobby, he was really putting on a show for some lady in our aisle. He was telling her everything! How "ho-ho drives a wagon on roof" and such, when she asked him how old he was. I wasn't surprised that he responded two, because I've heard that before. What caught me off guard was when she asked how old Liam was and Lincoln, before I had a chance to, responded, "Um... Six Months" just as clear as a bell. I'm sure he's heard me say it a thousand times, I just can't believe he picked up on it!
We have recently become OBSESSED with The Wizard of Oz (thanks Mimmim). He sings along with the songs, he hollers for "Dorfy" (Dorothy) - he says "gimme back my swippers!" He also dances with the munchens (munchkins), and growls at the Nekkid witch (obviously-wicked witch). We are required to watch it at least once daily. I guess it's better than the wiggles!
Lincolns bedtime is at 9-930 and he still sleeps in his crib (he hasn't tried to climb out, so I'm in no hurry!). He usually gets up around 730 or 8, and he still takes a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.
He is such a good, smart, well-behaved (most of the time) baby, and he makes me laugh constantly (especially when he gives the "side-eye"!). We are so very blessed to have Lincoln, and I love him so much!! Happy Birthday baby boy!
Eating/loving baby mum-mums
POSE!

All dressed up! This is, not surprisingly, the best picture I got.
Scaring "Papoo" with "the claw"
ta-da!
Reading a book to Liam
Lincoln and his friend Ashton playin trains
Baby boy is growing like a weed! We have officially hit the 6 month mark...
Liam is such a happy, easy going baby. He laughs at anyone, and I mean anyone, who will give him a little attention. He LOVES his brother, and will break his neck to watch him run around the living room. I must say, he is a lot louder than Lincoln ever thought about being - but he is also much more laid back about letting people hold him.
His babbling is out of control these days, and he is very good with the n sound, and the d sound - so we hear a lot of Nanana and Dadada... He also does a really funny noise that sounds like he's trying to scare you.
I swear I think he may be part Octopus the way he grabs at everything. And you better believe if you take something away from him, that you ARE going to hear about it!
This is what happens when you turn your back for 2 seconds while feeding Liam yogurt - it ends up EVERYWHERE!
Here are Liam's stats:
Liam doesn't really look so much like Mommy. He looks A LOT like my brothers baby pictures (I mean, it's kinda scary) and he also favors pictures of daddy as a baby.
This kid wants to be in the floor playing with Lincoln so bad, it's not even funny! He tries his best to wriggle out of your arms so he can play.
I mean, look what a chubster!
He is such a happy little turkey! Happy 6 months baby boy!
Welcome to the Morris' - Where knights and dragons reside!!
We definitely have to make this a yearly event!
Although getting a picture of all three of them after all that sugar sure was a task!
Our next task was to carve our pumpkins. Last year, Lincoln really got into the "goo" but this year, he did more watching than carving. I gave him some markers and let him tackle his own pumpkin, but he was more intrigued by watching us.
And Liam loved watching! He hung out in the wagon beside us and just took it all in.
Our next excursion was to the library on Halloween day to attend Halloween story and craft time. 
And this is Lincoln's FIRST EVER craft! He actually put all those pieces on completely by himself!! I told him what the piece was, and he placed it on - and I was pretty impressed by the placement! Actually, when it was finished, I nearly cried it was so sweet.
And last, but definitely not least, we've got Halloween! I wondered how Lincoln would do with it (cause I knew Liam wouldn't care as long as we were moving around!!). I didn't have to wonder long - he caught on super quick! He would walk towards a house saying, "knock knock - opee doe pease!" and would people would answer the door, he said, "tick or teat!" So cute. Why didn't I video that??? We actually stayed out till nearly dark, just walking the neighborhood, before it got pretty chilly and we headed back to hand out candy for the rest of the night.
Moose even got into the holiday spirit!
I think Lincoln liked watching all the trick or treaters as much as he liked trick or treating! Every time someone came to the door, he would run to help pass out candy. And if someone was dressed scary, he would always comment "cazy guy!" (crazy guy)
Liam watched in amazement from his walker for most of the night.
What a fun Halloween we had this year! I can't imagine how crazy next year will be with TWO walkers!! 
Excited to see his gifts when he came downstairs!
Running straight for the basketball goal --
"In the hole, tootsie roll!"
And of course a birthday wouldn't be complete without a new set of farm equipment (and a new train set, which went unpictured).
And the best birthday celebration of all was at none other than the BOUNCE HOUSE! We had a Train themed birthday party at Inflatable Fun Factory for Lincoln and all his little buddies (and there sure are a lot of kids around his age!). We all know how much Lincoln loves the bounce house! Above is Lincoln bouncing with Jack Ungethiem.
As much time as he spent getting Mim-mim to bounce with him, mommy managed to steal some bounce time too.
Liam helped celebrate as much as he could!
I mean, look at all these little rascals! Pictured: Lindsay and Piper Powers, Rachelle and Ashton Thorpe, Grady Hilt, Evan Hayes, Ellison McCormick, Cali Powers, Linc, Kiera Moseley, Liam, Me, Jack Ungethiem (in my grasp!) and Kolten and Kara Brackett. Good times were had by all, but mostly by Lincoln!
Lincoln isn't a big fan of cupcakes, but he does LOVE the icing! 
Thanking Ellison for her gift!
"Opee it peeeeease..."

And after the party we headed back to the house to open Mim-mim and pap's present (as it was too heavy to carry to the bouncehouse!). A TRAIN TABLE!! "ChooChoo!!" says Lincoln. "Where the heck are we gonna put it?" says mommy....
Thanks Mim-mim and pap!
