Our child has officially been in our lives for 16 days and for those of you who don't get to spend every waking moment with the cutest baby in the world I thought I would update you on Lincoln's life so far.
Lincoln...
...LOVES his hands. They have to be on or near his face at all times and his mom is dying for him to gain enough control over them to actually keep his thumb in his mouth. He yells at us every time we try to swaddle his hands in a blanket.
...does not like his crib, at least not yet, leaving his parents to wonder why they bought it in the first place
...is a pooping machine. In fact, we have yet to change a diaper that does not have poop in it
...becomes more of a red head everyday, I am convinced that this is payback for all the jokes we made about having a red headed baby during my pregnancy.
...is gaining weight like a champ. At his last weigh in he was 9lb 8oz.
...is the laziest eater ever, it sometimes takes 45 minutes to get 20 minutes of food in him, wonder where he gets his laid back attitude from?? (DAD)
...doesn't like to sleep, much to the chagrin of his mom and dad
...thinks his mom and dad are crazy, especially when they drag him to the pediatrician to be told that he is a very healthy baby, he just cries like a normal baby. And here we were thinking we got a baby that doesn't cry! Dad's response to Lincoln crying- "Wow, that's really loud!"
So our baby boy is doing well, he is healthy and (generally) happy. I'll post more pictures later.
