Lincoln Asher - 5 Months

This month has been so much fun (minus the sleep regression)! I know I say this all the time but he really is the sweetest and most easygoing baby.

 

  • He gets fussy if we're not at home when he's ready for bed. He adapts well to wherever we are though so we don't have to plan around his bedtime. As long as someone is cuddling him, he's just fine.

  • He wants whatever is in your hands. As I'm typing this on my phone he's trying to get it out of my hand.

  • He learned to roll over

  • He's pretty much waking every 3 hours to eat. Extra snuggles for Momma!

  • His jumper is his favorite toy. He will jump his little heart out and fall asleep in it. I always hate when this happens though because I know I have to get him out and he usually wakes up.

  • He can move the walker around and it's super cute. I feel like he's so tiny (he's not!) and shouldn't be able to do that yet.

  • We're working on sitting up. I think we'll be there in the next couple of weeks.

  • He does this new thing where he smacks his lips and then sucks on his bottom lip. He looks like s little old man and it's soooo cute!

  • We thought for sure his two bottom teeth were going to break through this month but still nothing.

  • Almost anything makes him smile

  • He found his toes and LOVES to play with them. He hasn't gotten them to his mouth yet but I'm sure that's coming soon.

  • We still have people say they think he looks just like Beckett. Sometimes we see it but most of the time we don't. He does look just like me when I was a baby though and Beckett did not.

  • He loves hands. His hands, your hands, it doesn't matter. Hands always catch his attention and he wants to hold them.

  • The only places he's content for a longer period of time are in his walker or jumper. He's not a fan of chairs and I think it's because he likes to be standing up.

  • He has a bit of a raspy voice and I adore it! It's the cutest.

  • He still loves the bath but hates getting out and getting dressed. Worst part of his day. Haha

  • He's in size 2 diapers still but we're going to size up to 3 this week.

  • He can wear 6 month clothes but 9 month things seem to fit him a little better. He's such a chunk!

  • He went to the polls on Election Day and was perfect while I voted.

  • We had our fall and Christmas family photos this month. He did great for the majority of both sessions. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

  • He went to his first high school football playoff game and was perfect!

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...
