Appeal Period Day 2

Hmmm...how do I get these out?









Maybe if I pray they will come out...








Taking over the room and ALL the toys.








Going for a cruise in the walker.






This is his "What is happening behind me?" pose. He crawls along then stops gets into this position, checks out what is happening then continues crawling along.






I am tickling his thighs here which is usually always good for a big laugh.

We are "crawling" our way closer to GOTCHA Day on March 20th

Our morning visit with Lincoln went well today. He was in a good mood and crawling around playing with everyone. He wanted to get in the walker today, so we put him in for a little well. When he decides he has had enough of the walker he tries to jump out by doing a nose dive. We like putting him in it once in awhile so we can have a break from chasing after him but we still have to watch him constantly because he does not give us any warning prior to diving out nose first. Our afternoon visit wasn’t as successful as this morning. Our little guy didn’t seem to be feeling too well. He spit up several times all over several different things. He does manage some how to not get it all over himself. We did however go through 3 bibs in a two hour period and probably at least 15 wet wipes. He has been coughing again the last few days and today the spitting up was new and his nose is running again. We have all ready been warned it is flu season here. We are hoping he does not catch that. Despite spitting up randomly and acting a little more grumpier than normal, this afternoon he was still down playing and crawling all around. He pretty much was just sharing his germs with all the kids in the playroom.

We finally found out today what his daily schedule is like. We have been asking for this since the first week we got here. It is a pretty rigid schedule. I honestly have no idea what a good baby schedule for a whole day should be but this one seems over the top.

In between our visits today we went to a local museum where we learned more about the history of Aktobe and the region. Thankfully, we had an English speaking tour guide that took our group through the whole museum explaining the exhibits to us. The tour lasted for about two hours it was pretty interesting. On the way back to the baby house we stopped and grabbed some pastries really quick because we all were hungry from missing lunch.

This evening we are just relaxing and taking it easy at the apartment.

Just a reminder that I most likely will not post on Friday. I will catch you up Saturday. It is a holiday here on Saturday and we will not be allowed to visit the baby house ALL day. No Lincoln all day! BOO hoo ! This will make for a very long day so I will have plenty of free time to update the blog.
