His dad's looks, his mom's sense of humor

So lately Lincoln has been laughing, which is seriously the best thing in the whole entire world. But he definitely has his mom's sense of humor (Thank you Jesus) because you do something once, and he laughs, so you try it again, and he won't laugh. You always need new material with this kid. And then to top it off the general baby things you think would make him laugh don't. The most random things will make him laugh. For example he was lying on our bed tonight and Stephen and Roxy were play fighting and making lots of noise. Linc couldn't see what was going on but he could hear them, and he just starts laughing. It was hilarious. So Stephen figured it out was the jumping on the floor that was making him laugh. He definitely is a unique kid. Kind of like his uncle cam, laughs at his own thing! Which has it downs, because to you want to hear the greatest sound in the world, but it is rare and unpredictable. Maybe that is what makes it so great.

First Time Camping

So we thought it would be a good idea to go camping this year, as we love to camp. Unfortunately camping is quite different with a 4 month old. We went with our small group, everyone else was going for 2 nights, but we decided to just go for one. Best decision ever! Not only was it the hottest weekend of the year, but the bugs were brutal. Neither Linc nor I enjoyed holding him when it was like 32 degrees out. We were going to go to the beach but it was just way to hot. The 3 of us slept on a double air mattress, yea that was fun. (note sarcasm) Let's just say we all woke up pretty crabby the next morning, and decided to just head home. Glad we did it but would never do it again.

A girl?

I love my fat little boy. I love him so much. I think he is the greatest. Actually he is the greatest. He is amazing, and I love his little personality. He brings me unexplainable joy, that i only wish sometimes I knew how to express to him! I can not wait for my next child. Please let it be a girl. And please don't let it come anytime soon!

Learning

I am learning everyday what it means to be a mother. To be so completely exhausted (and honestly, do I even know exhaustion with only one child?), and to have finally put my baby to bed at like 11pm, to only finish some laundry, sweep the floor, quickly check my email and to finally sit down for a breather, to only have it interrupted by the cries of my child. And yet i can go in there pick him up like I haven't seen him in 3 days, even though its only been 30 minutes, love him, cuddle him, and put him back to bed. It is not I as a person who is amazing, it is that fact that i am a women, and now a mother. You find this strength and energy that you didn't know existed till that little bundle of joy comes screaming out of you know where. But it definitely takes some learning, something your kind of grow into.
