Life with the Lin Family

Ok, so I know a ridiculous amount of time has passed since I have checked in. What can I say? Ok nothing you’re right so I won’t make excuses I will just try to do better.

Everything has been very well in the Lin household. Carter is still an amazing, wonderful, fantastic little addition! Everyday he brings more joy than the last. I know blah, blah, blah, but I really mean it. We can take him anywhere and we do take him everywhere with us. He is such a mild-tempered and easy going baby and we are so blessed!

Here’s a quick catch up…

November: We took Carter for his first trip down to California. He did amazing! Not a single peep on the flight there or back. He got to meet all of his family and our friends and even his 1 week old cousin Jeffrey. He met over 50 new faces on that trip and every single person was greeted with a smile. It was alot of fun. The day after we got home he sat up alone. The following day he stood for the first time holding onto the ottoman. We found out at the end of November that Darrel and Julie were selected by a birth mom and would be bringing home Carter a new friend at the end of February. God is so good!

December: December was a very exciting time. Carter got his first tooth (now he has 8!), saw his first snow, touched his first Christmas tree and got his first gift from Santa. It was very neat for the whole family to finally have a baby here for the holidays. We also had our in laws in for Christmas so Carter was able to share his first Christmas with his big cousin Alex and baby cousin Jeffrey. Grandpa also taught Carter how to wave “hello” this month.

January: This month Carter has been rolling from one side of the room to the other. His favorite means of transportation though is holding onto any willing participants fingers so the he can do laps around the room. Everyone still agrees it looks as though he will be skipping the crawling and going straight to walking. Grandma says it’s because he is always in someones arms and never down long enough to learn to crawl, oops :0) This month we also found out that Carter will be getting a new baby cousin this September thanks to Aunt Christine and Uncle Tom! We are all very excited! Just another wonderful piece to the Idaho puzzle that has come together so perfectly :0)
