Photo Friday #69

Yes I do realize that the last two posts were Lincoln's monthly pictures and I have posted nothing in between. Excuse me while I spend all my time in the evenings with this special guy. This week he began rolling over at daycare. Of course the little stinker wouldn't roll over for us at home. I can tell he doesn't like to lay still, he rolls to his side and then back to the other side. I hope this weekend he'll show off of us.

PS - doesn't his hair look much lighter? Lincoln's going to be a blonde little boy.

Lincoln Is Three Months!

Now that we've entered into the fourth month of life, Lincoln is officially considered an infant (as opposed to a newborn). Or so I read somewhere. I find myself starting most sentences with "I read somewhere" or "someone told me." Guess that's what comes of reading about pregnancy and babies so much lately.

Lincoln James at Three Months:

-Absolutely loves to smile and has a great toothless grin

-Shed his first tear thanks to the development of tear ducts

-Rocks post bath crazy fluffy hair

-Master cuddler, loves soft fabric

-Regularly sleeps 7-8 hours at night (thank you!)

-Official left handed thumb sucker

-Happy morning baby... that is once he gets his stretching and eating out of the way

-Making new friends at daycare

Lincoln Is Two Months!

Yes I know this post is very late, but better late than never! We took Lincoln's two month pictures while back home with family (thank you to my Uncle Jerry for taking these pictures too!) Sticking with the double picture, we captured Lincoln at two months of age.

Lincoln James at Two Months:

-Found out how to smile

-Occasional fan of the pacifier

-Still has no idea where his thumb is

-Sporadic daytime eater

-Good nighttime sleeper... eating once per night and sleeping up to 7 hours!

-Mr. Houdini when it comes to the swaddle

-Learning to love tummy time

-Went on first plane ride... and did great!

-First trip to Iowa, he didn't notice the corn fields

 

Oh Lincoln, how I love your little chunky thighs.

Photo Friday #68

My apologies... here I am with hundreds of pictures I've taken lately and I haven't been sharing them. As you can probably understand, I've been a bit busy. We returned from our 10 day Iowa trip last weekend, I went back to work on the following Monday which means little Lincoln also went to daycare (which I have already started referring to as school). Hopefully this weekend I can organize my thoughts, wash dirty bottles, do a couple loads of laundry and write a few blog posts. However, I make no promises. In the meantime, here a picture of Lincoln and I in the airport waiting to board our final flight home. He was an amazing traveler, Joe and I are very fortunate.

Big Boy Smiles

Early on Lincoln would smile often in his sleep. Some would say this was due to gas bubbles or something going on in his tummy. Others said he was just such a happy baby he would show that while sleeping. Either way I loved seeing this toothless grin. Most times instead of taking a nap myself while he slept I would just lay next to him and stare at him. How could I resist?

Then last week Lincoln started smiling for real. I mean smiles with his eyes open and looking at me (or in most cases, the camera). The hard thing is capturing these amazing smiles and not having a blurry picture. He's just so squirmy when happy, he won't sit still. Actually he's a squirmy baby most of the time when awake. Oh well, these smiles just melt my heart. Never stop Little Lincoln!
