Lincoln Asher - 7 Months

Let me just say, this last month has been a doozy, the toughest yet in all of our nearly 3 years of being parents. I love and adore my kids but parenting is tough. Kids are tough. Being a working mom is tough. And when you mix all that together, it's just... well, tough. It's OK to need a break from your kids (if you had told me that with my first I would have laughed in your face so all you 1-kid mommas who are shaking your head at me right now, just wait).

I can't even imagine what it will be like once we have more kids. Shew! Here's a little look into Lincoln at 6 months.. Weight: 19.4 pounds Length: 26.5" We celebrated his first Thanksgiving. We kicked off the Christmas season by going to the Christmas tree lighting downtown (our first time!). He wasn't a fan. We had breakfast with Santa and he did so well! No tears. We went to Speedway in Lights. The lights really caught his attention! He had his first real sickness so we added a new breathing machine to the pack and had he had 'round the clock treatments for a couple of weeks. Poor guy.
