Christmas pics and Baby's Name!

My mom made a dress for Little for Christmas, although we made sure to not put any Christmas things on it so she can wear it for a long time. It is adorable, as always with everything my mom makes. And inquiring minds want to know if we have picked a name for baby. First let me tell those of you who don't know...we are having a BOY! We are so excited that we will have one of each. It took us awhile to agree on a boy name, but as soon as we heard it, we just both knew that was the one. His name is...Lincoln Daniel Cohee. Lincoln is a name that we just both liked, and Daniel is his uncle's name. It was very important to us to name him after his uncle, a man that Frank and I admire and respect so much. It's nice to be able to call Lincoln by name now, and he definitely makes his presence known. He is a very active little guy.

In the meantime, we are trying to figure out when to transform Little's nursery into a big girl room. We want to transition her out of her crib well before Lincoln gets here so she won't feel like the baby kicked her out of her bed. We want her to already be comfortable in her big girl bed before he gets here. We'll probably make the transition soon after the holidays. Speaking of holidays, this Christmas holiday has started out to be a really fun one with her. She is mesmerized by all of the Christmas decorations and lights and really loves the Christmas tree. If the lights aren't on, she'll walk over to the tree and point to the plug. She inspects the ornaments several times a day and oohs and ahhs at the beauty of the tree. And she loves going to my parents house where there are many more decorations than we have at our house. She spends a lot of time looking at the nativities. She even takes the baby Jesus out of the manger, brings him over to show him to us, and then puts him back. It's so sweet to watch her.
