Happy Thanksgiving!!
Ok, so it appears that I'm not so good at keeping up with this blog... As most things in my life go, I get a good start, have good intentions, and then forget what I was doing completely.... I would love to blame it on pregnancy brain, but....
Anywhos, plenty going on around our house these days. Little man sure is keeping us busy! Seems that he took after his mother and has the most energy at night. Funny thing is, mother doesn't seem to still HAVE that much energy... At any time of day! I've always heard new mothers say that they can't get anything accomplished and wondered why. After all, babies do sleep a majority of the day! What I did not realize was that babies also have an innate ability to sense when you start an important task (ie. showering, cleaning, cooking) and will choose that time to share their lung power with you! Thus making it impossible to finish said task in a timely manner. For example, I decided to make my deviled eggs on Wednesday this week to save some time on Thanksgiving morning. I started this process at 10:00 am. I finished deviling eggs at 5:30 pm... Yep, you read that right...
On the other hand, Lincoln has started being awake/alert for longer periods of time. He will now stay awake, just looking around checking things out, for two or three hours at a time. It is too precious. He doesn't really cry very much (knock on wood), he just looks around and coos. And he is really into checking people out now. He really focuses on your face, and loves to be talked to. He even tries to "talk" back sometimes! Maybe it's just me (of course not!) but I do think he's the most adorable baby ever. I bet you've never heard a mother say that about her child?

On another note, what a change a baby makes. This Thanksgiving was one for the books. So many things we have to be thankful for. God has given us a perfect baby boy, a wonderful loving marriage, the best, most supportive families that we could ever ask for, a marvelous group of friends, I could go on and on... I think we may be two of the luckiest people alive...

She sent a slideshow of Lincoln's newborn (well 2 weeks) pics, and they are FABULOUS. I am going to try to post the slideshow here, but I make no promises... Computer illiterate you know... However, if you see a new slideshow on here, just know the pictures are by Jess!!
