Link’s been full of tantrums lately. I can see already that disciplining him is going to be difficult for me. The kid never takes me seriously.

One thing I love that he does lately is shake his head yes when I ask him questions. “Wanna go bye-bye?” gets an emphatic yes! “Wanna snack? Wanna get down? Wanna go play?” all get affirmations. Sometimes just for fun I’ll ask him things like “should we go change your diaper? Wanna go night-night?” I’m just waiting for the day when he figures out my little trick As for now, I’m enjoying the fact that he’s so agreeable.

Well I thought I’d join the blogging world in posting a tribute to the World’s Best Dad!

Truly, you’ve never seen a prouder daddy! I mean come on, Link was born on his dad’s birthday, and he shares the same name. Though we’re told Link looks much like his mamma, he gets most of his personality from Daddy.

This weekend, Miles took Lincoln to an overnight Fathers and Sons campout. Link was by far the youngest child there. This act alone says much about Miles as a father. He’s willing, loving, fun, and has a great attitude. It was so sweet to see them the next day. I could tell they had literally bonded over night.

In this video there is a segment that reminds me so much of Miles and Lincoln. It’s when the father is sleeping outside with his infant son (his only son) waiting to go fishing in the morning. Definitely a tear jerker. Definitely worth watching!

I too thoroughly enjoyed myself with the boys gone. I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I was alone overnight in my own house. Even when we didn’t have Link, I think Miles only left me once for a school interview. I went out for sushi for the first time with a good friend who doesn’t have any kiddos of her own yet. It was so nice! However, one night was plenty! I was very anxious to see them the next day!

For a Christmas gift, Miles and I made a video for his brother who is serving an LDS mission in the Philippines. We thought it was pretty cute, so we thought we’d share with a broader audience.

On Sunday we did a family photo shoot with some friends. You can see more on our flickr account.
