3 months old and counting..



Took little Lincoln for his 3 month old pictures today. I was so hoping they would catch that huge smile of his, and they did not disappoint. Look at my boy, oh I swear I just love him so much. Every little thing about him, is so absolutely precious to me. I was showing the pictures to Thiago and of course he loved them, but he commented on how in 10 years from now when we look at these, how sad we will feel. We will want those chubby little cheeks back and that sweet little baby. Time moves so quickly. I am at a point in my life right now, where I just wish I could freeze everything. I am loving every minute of everything right now. Life is so simple right now, just nice and simple. Of course we don't make tons of money, we are most certainly not in our dream house, my days are chaotic more often then not chasing after my 2 babies. However I wouldn't change a minute of it, not one single minute. We are so happy just living in this moment.....





I also wanted to get a picture of the 2 of them in their Easter clothes, so I just decided to do it all at once. And once again I love how it turned out. I swear all day I have just sat around staring at these pictures. If you ask me they are well worth the money, pictures bring me so much happiness.


Now that Lincoln is 3 months old, I just wanted to document a few little Lincoln facts. He changes so much everyday, and I want to be able to look back and remember my baby at 3 months old.

Favorite food....well his mommy's milk of course. That is all the boy knows, and he thinks it is good stuff.

Favorite way to be held... he likes to be up against my shoulder with his little head poking up, loves to see the world but still safe in his momma's arms.

Sleeping habits...great little sleeper. He goes down at about 9:00 each night, and will sleep in his own little bed (in our room) until about 4:00. He sometimes will stay awake after that until about 5:30-6:00 or so and then go back to sleep for another few hours. I don't think that is bad at all though.

Favorite way to sleep...cuddly little guy. Loves to have blankets, very soft cuddly ones up around his face. Very much likes his bink to fall asleep too.

Favorite toy...his bouncer and lately he is starting to like his swing.

Favorite thing to wear...soft, cozy little things. Hates when I put him in jeans and overalls, not as comfy.

Least favorite thing to wear....bibs. He is always trying to pull at his. But I tell him as soon as you stop spitting up, we can take it off. Until then, get used to it.

Favorite past times....cuddling with mom, smiling at dad (nobody gets him to smile like his dad does, he sees Thiago and turns on the charm), and of course playing with big brother. They lay side by side under his little toy gyms and play and talk or in Lincoln's case coo.

Least favorite thing to do....does not appreciate being in his carseat if the carseat is not moving. He loves it as long as we are in the car or in the stroller or something. But to just sit there, no way.

Most common facial expression.....SMILE. He is such a smiler, you look at this kid and he is all smiles. Love it!

Nickname...baby Yinkin. Carson can't say his L's very well and when I was pregnant he always refered to him as baby Yinkin. The name has kinda stuck. He is our "baby Yinkin".

All in all this little guy is such a joy. Such a blessing to our family, all 3 of us including Carson are just wrapped around his little finger. He is without a doubt my most littlest love and I can't get enough of those sweet little kissable cheeks. Love this boy!

You do have a smiley boy there those pictures are darling. I wish Elle would sleep like that. I keep trying new things will see if my plan tonight helps at all.

I can't believe it's been 3 months already! You have such a way with your thoughts and comments. I just love you!
I really enjoy your pictures too. I agree, they are worth it. I just need to get Tyson on board with that way of thinking. Ü

Tell Ashley that I get most of Brinley's headbands at Quilted Bear. You both should check out this website though:
www.bitsybling.com
One of my friends sent me the link and I love it. They do personalized onesies and they also have really cute headbands and baby beanies. I just ordered a few things for Brinley on there.

Loved this post Ter, he is as sweet as they come, I just can't get enought of that big smile of his. What a sweethearts both your boys are I can't wait to see the finished project for their Easter pictures, I may be inspired to do the same thing.

Gees, I think Lincoln looks a lot like Carson. They are both so cute! I'm jealous of you having 2 cute little boys!!! Wouldn't it be nice to freeze time? I would defiantly agree with that statement!
