4 months

I can't believe how fast time flies. Lincon hit the 4 month mark on Sunday and has his appointment yesterday. Here are his stats:

Weight: 14.6 lbs (44%)
Height: 25.5 in (73%)
Head Circ: 16.3 (25%)

Lately he......

• Spits everywhere. If you lay him on his back, he immediately starts blowing bubbles and spitting.
• Loves his fists and sucks on them a lot. I think he likes his fists more than his binky.
• Knows who his mom is and who is dad his. We have had many people comment on how his demeanor changes when we leave the room. He is becoming way more aware of what is going on and knows when mom leaves for work.
• Sleeps like a champ. Has been going to bed at 9 and sleeps until 9:30. Since I don't go to work until afternoon, I have been sleeping in with him but I have felt pretty lazy so I need to start getting up before him. 
• He usually eats twice in the night, but I only give him around 2 or 3 ounces each time. I'm trying to phase out his nightly feedings.
• Loves him bumbo and sitting up in general. We busted out his doorway bouncy seat today for the first time and he loved it!
• Hardly ever cries. Seriously. He mostly grunts and whines when he needs something but hardly ever full on cries. 
• Doesn't love belly time but it is getting better. He was a champion during he 4 month photoshoot.

Overall he is such a good boy. Adam and I comment how lucky we are that we got such a good boy. Its true! Here are a couple photos from his 4 month shoot.

Happy Father's Day

 

I have the greatest husband and this is his first father's day. I just wanted to write a little post and tell him how wonderful I think he is. From the moment we found out I was pregnant, I knew he would love our baby unconditionally and eternally. And of course... he does.

I'm grateful for days like today because it gives me a reason to be mushy and to write cheesy (but true) posts. Adam Nathaniel.... I love you more than anything and I'm so grateful for everything you do for Lincon and I. You truly are am amazing father. Thanks for always pitching in and doing your part in our family. Thank you for being a worthy priesthood holder and helping to keep the spirit in our home and in our lives. I love watching you with Linc. I have a feeling that he is going to be a daddy's boy and that you two will be buds forever. We love you!!!

I also want to give a little shout out to my dad and my father-in-law! So grateful that I have 2 amazing fathers! They are both amazing men who have had very positive influences in my life. My dad is great..... he's not the mushy type but I still want to tell him how much I love and appreciate him.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Catch up time

Memorial weekend we went on our annual camping trip with the Huntsman's. I look forward to this time all year. Although I see my family and extended family often, there is something about camping with them that I love. My dad let us use his second camping trailer so on Friday afternoon, Adam, Lincon and I headed down to get it and pull it back up to our camp spot. It was a long drive, but Lincon was a trooper.
There is something about Memorial weekend that Mother Nature doesn't like because more times than not it seems like weekend has bad weather. I was a little nervous going because Linc isn't even 4 months old, but it all worked out. We spent a lot of time in the trailer hanging out and playing games but we did manage to get out when the sun was shining and Adam and I even got to go on a nice four wheeling ride. 

Memorial weekend marks the "anniversary of the engagement."

I'm grateful this man decided to make me his wife. We been friends for 9 years, dating for almost 5 (if you add it all together :) and married for almost 2. Now we have a beautiful son to show for it! Thanks for everything hun, I love you!

And this wouldn't be a post without some updates and pictures of my pride and joy :)
He has started doing some pretty cute things as of late. He LOVES having his bum changed. My changing table has been a great investment - - I probably change about 95% of his diapers on it. And he knows that when I lay him down on the table that its time to be changed. Without fail - - he starts spitting and blowing his lips.
Also, he has found his fists and they are constantly in his mouth. Occassionally he'll get just his pointer finger in there and will accidentally gag himself.
He hates belly time. Well at least he hates it when he's on the ground. He doesn't mind if he's laying on me or if I prop him up on his boppy.
He loves sitting up and facing out at the world. If he starts fussing, all you have to do is stand up and let him face out and he is instantly calm.

Camping trip - fell asleep hanging out with dad

Playing with Aunt Brynn on the camping trip. He slobbers a lot.

We had to move to the big towel! Again... more slobber.
