Baby Lincoln Pics


This is the face he gives me a lot.


Asleep and happy.


Here's him just looking around.




These last two pictures are faces he does a lot - it reminds me of the zoolander pose.


Well, things are going well. I'm adjusting to getting up all night long - although Lincoln is a really great baby. He gets up every 3-4 hours to eat. Bad news: nursing has not gone well at all - so now he is being formula fed only. Very sad :(
Other than that things here are getting back to normal. I'm healing slowly, and starting to think about excercising again (I gained 70lbs with the pregnancy and have lost 37lbs so far - mostly baby and water weight) Brandon is back to school and loves it. Rebecca, Walter and the girls have been gone all week visiting family in Utah and they will be back tonight. yay!

I feel like I'm adjusting to parenting well. I never knew how much time, love, and attention I would give being a parent. It really is wonderful. It's a lot more work than I expected, but more fulfilling than I expected as well.

Hey you THREE!!! We love and miss you. It is a wonderful time take lots of pictures, even when he is crying, you will come to chreish those memories. Sleep will retun and you will feel normal again, or so Amber has told me. We hope to see you again soon. Take care Brian

He really is a Brandon carbon copy! So cute.

Don't feel bad about formula feeding. Audrey was only breastfed for 5 weeks but she had terrible lactose intolerance. She did great on formula and she is completely healthy and happy! You are a great mom!!!

I love the pictures! My friend who had a baby a few months ago said it's like eternal babysitting haha.

It is so great to see your new addition. Duke and I are sooo happy for both of you. What cute pics of Lincoln. It sounds like you had a rough start, but we are glad things are smoothing out. Babies steal your heart and take up much of your time, but are worth every minute! Brandon looks so natural with baby Lincoln. We see the resemblance! Happy parenting! Love, Ginny and Duke

Hey! I just found your blog. Congrats on the baby! Boys are seriously the best. Don't stress the whole nursing thing, it REALLY didn't go well for me with my first and so we ended up bottle feeding as well. He's almost 4 now and completely brillant, so it really isn't the end of the world. Congrats again!!!
