Lincoln is one month old now! I can’t believe how fast that went. Having two older kids and a newborn keeps me very busy and time just seems to fly. I wish Lincoln could stay tiny longer.

He went to the doctor today and he weighed in at 10 pounds! Just three weeks ago he was 7lbs. 10oz. The doctor said to me, “Whatever you are doing, keep doing it!” He is very healthy and strong. The doctor kept commenting on how verbal he is and how happy. He smiled right at her, a big open mouth, gummy smile. She wanted to take him home!

Lincoln is a great baby! He’s very content and seems to like his new world. Warren and I laugh at how noisy he is. He sounds like a little pig most of the time.

We are all enjoying him so much!

Oh…I put him in the same outfit he wore home from the hospital. In the hospital it swallowed him up and as you can see here, it’s getting small on him!

This picture of Lincoln shows off his growing thighs! They are just starting to get chunky.

Lincoln really reminds me of one of Warren’s baby pictures in this photo!

Ethan looks so grown up to me in this picture. He is changing so fast. It’s hard to believe he is almost 6!

I made strawberry smoothies yesterday. Apparently a made them to thick. This is what happened to Isaac when he tried to take a sip! The camera was sitting on the table near him so I grabbed it and took his picture. He was quite offended by that!

Ethan and Isaac love to set up their playmobil guys. It’s cute to watch them. They spend a lot of time playing this together and rarely fight over it.

It was Ethan’s idea to hold their favorite guy and smile for the camera in this picture!

Ethan’s kindergarten class celebrated 101 days of school by dressing as dalmatians. Here is a picture of Ethan with his teacher, Miss Diana.

A few of Ethan’s classmates dressed as dalmatians. (I think I made Ethan’s shirt look more like a cow print than a dalmatian…I tried to match it to his mask)

Lincoln looks around so much now. He is starting to hold his head up pretty good. He even started smiling at us!

My mom was finally able to come and meet Lincoln. She was here for about 3 days and just left today. She was sad to leave the boys. But, I am happy she was able to spend some time with them.

Warren was holding Lincoln in his office and decided to put headphones on him. He played some music and Lincoln really seemed to like it a lot. I took a few pictures. Just as I was about to snap the last picture, Lincoln smiled this funny smile and I captured it. Warren and I laughed so hard! We laugh every time we look at this goofy little smile. :)

Isaac has taken a greater interest in Lincoln lately. He loves to hold him! when Lincoln cries, Isaac says the sweetest things to him while rubbing his head.

This is such a precious picture to me. I just love his little face so much!

A rare moment for the two of them…arms around each other and both smiling!

Annie and Josiah Mabry had a birthday party at Run, Jump, -N- Play. Annie turned 5 and Josiah turned 3. Ethan and Isaac had a blast!

People usually take fewer pictures with each child they have. But, it’s the opposite for me. I have more pictures of Isaac than I have of Ethan and more pictures of Lincoln than I have of Isaac. Our camera is better with each baby, that helps. I am more into photography now than before. I wish I could go back and do a better job with Ethan’s baby pictures.

There will be no shortage of little Lincoln’s baby pictures! Each and every one of them is precious to me.

Josie is 2 1/2 months old. It’s amazing to see how much babies grow is such a short time. Lincoln is 2 weeks old and it’s hard to picture him as big as Josie in just a couple of months. It’s sad to me how fast they change. I wish Lincoln could stay this small a little longer. I try my best to stare at him and try to memorize his little face, every last detail.

Rachel came to visit me in the hospital, but we forgot to get a picture!
