Lincoln Asher - 6 Months

*Apparently I forgot to post this. Oops! 

Oh my! My sweet, sweet baby is half a year old! You'd think by now that I'd be used to the time flying by but let me tell you, if you think time flies with one kid, it's lightening fast with two. 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.

  • He's holding strong in the size 3 diapers right now

  • Clothing varies from size 6 months to 9 months. 9 months seems to still fit best right now.

  • He can sit up!! He's a tad wobbly so I still keep something soft nearby if he's on the floor but he's got it!

  • His jumper (once again), or jumping in general, is his happy place. It's like Disney for him.. The Happiest Place on Earth, until he's over it and wants to be held. Que the tears.

  • He is not a great sleeper. I've tried the Dock-a-Tot (still love it but it's not a miracle sleep thing like some people claim), the Magic Sleep Suit (also not magic for us), different swaddles, no swaddle, one arm out of swaddle, letting him fuss a little bit (no CIO - not going to let him just lay and scream when I can help it), etc. He likes to be cuddled, which would be OK except I don't want him getting used to sleeping with us. It's a constant struggle over if I just put him in bed with us to begin with or am up 100 times throughout the night. UGH! I just believe some babies are good sleepers and some aren't, no matter what you try.

  • He loves to watch people's hands and feet. I catch him all the time just staring at something and then I realize he's watching someones toes moving around. haha

  • He tried baby food a couple of days before turning 6 months. I'm a pretty firm on the no food until 6 months but I knew 3 days wasn't going to hurt. He lovessss it! By the 3rd night I would hold the spoon out and he'd lean in and get the bite from it or grab the spoon and push it in his mouth. I'm thinking we'll do baby led weaning with him but I wanted to get the first little tastes out of the way to get him used to something other than breast milk. These little 1 oz Gerber packs are what I've started with and I think they are perfect, although I know he's ready for more than this tiny taste now.

  • He has the sweetest giggle. I wish I could bottle it up and keep it forever!


Likes

  • When Beckett talks to him

  • Smiling

  • Splashing in the tub

  • Giving big sloppy kisses

  • Getting kisses all over

  • Tickles


Dislikes

  • Sleeping without being cuddled

  • Getting dressed

  • Being strapped in the carseat

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...
