Life Lately (Picture overload!)

*Warning*  
Tons of pictures to follow. Lots of updating to do and not enough time during the week.

We started Lincoln on rice cereal the first part of December...then came the sleepless nights. It was awful!!! We couldn't figure out what was wrong and the only thing we had done different was the cereal. So we quit the cereal and he started sleeping again. Maybe he just wasn't ready, maybe he didn't like it, or maybe it just didn't settle well in his little tummy. Well, a month later and we tried it again. He seemed to enjoy it the first couple of days and he continued sleeping well. After a few days he started swatting at the spoon, turning his head away, and even started waking up a million times at night. We quit the cereal again and he started sleeping. Maybe rice cereal and Lincoln just don't mix. Now comes the question...do we try oatmeal cereal or just jump right in to pureed foods? This first time mom business is tough.

 I couldn't resist taking this cute picture of him in the tub. He could finally sit by himself without falling over. He love the bath...especially all the slashing.


 I heard Lincoln making some noises after a nap so I went to get him out of his crib and found this. He is so mobile now that he just works his way around his crib with ease. We originally put the stuffed animals in there because we didn't have anywhere else to put them. I didn't think he would bother them but I was wrong. Turns out he loves them!


 Since I work at home I try to find creative ways to keep Lincoln occupied. Sometimes I'm not quite creative enough so Lincoln takes matters into his own hands. This particular day he found a roll of wrapping paper. He had a blast playing with it and somehow he figured out to get under it. Every time he kicked his feet it would make tons of noise and he would start laughing. It was so fun to watch.

 Lincoln got a little pop up piano...this is how he plays with it. He will hit the keys on the keyboard a couple of times and then he ends up chewing on it. Crazy kid :)

  1. I need to meet him! He and Levi would be so much fun to get together. And no worries, there really is no rhyme or reason to any hard part of motherhood. The good news: they grow out of it... fast! You are a wonderful mommy!!!
