A Lovely Lewis Life

One month ago we welcomed Lincoln into our family and it's been a joy getting to know him. Here are a few things I want to remember from this time: He's a great sleeper when he's being held.

I was worried we wouldn't get to bond like Beckett and I did, but we do. I was worried breastfeeding wouldn't go as well as it did the first time, but we're going strong (I forgot how tough those first couple of we...
