Lincoln Asher - One Month

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. My goal is to not become a nighttime pacifier for him so we're working on that.

  • He will nap in the Rock n Play but absolutely will not sleep in it at night. He likes to be cuddled and the DockATot gives him that feeling so he's sleeping in that in our bed for now. I'm hoping to start putting him in his crib very soon. 




  • He's eating every 2.5-3 hours during the day but we've seen longer stretches at night.

  • He has the sweetest smiles as he drifts off to sleep.




  • He deals with Beckett's endless, extra slobbery kisses.

  • He's way more relaxed than his big brother. Beckett was more alert and active (holding his head up, kicking) and noisy. I call L lazy because he falls asleep eating 90% of the time and I have to nudge him to remind him to eat. 




  • He likes to fall asleep during tummy time instead of practice holding his head up.

  • The first couple of weeks he barely made any sound other then crying when he was hungry but around week 3 he started occassionaly "talking" and making sweet sounds. <3




  • He hated baths at first but now that he can be submerged in the water he handles it better for a short time.

  • He hates getting his clothes changed and loves to wear only a diaper.




  • Sometimes he's happiest just laying in his crib (probably because he's safe from big bro).

  • Wears newborn diapers and clothes, though some of the newborn things are starting to be a bit snug. Most 0-3 month things I've tried are still a little baggy on him right now.




  • We celebrated his first 2 holidays (Father's Day and Independence Day)

  • He (unlike his brother) likes the car and rarely cries when he's in the car seat




  • He met lots of family and friends during the month

  • He loves the ceiling fan and looking out the windows 

  • He still has a head full of dark hair but it's slowly falling out now



Now more than ever I wish I'd kept up with these milestones with Beckett so I could compare (thankful I did a bit of that on Instagram!). I'm looking forward to keeping track of everything on the blog this time around.

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night.

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
