One tooth!

We've got an official tooth! He's pretty happy about it. :)

Cereal

We started Lincoln on solid food last week. We give him oatmeal mixed with breast milk about once a day. Usually along with his last meal. I noticed when he got a bottle or ate a lot before bedtime, he would sleep better so we decided to try it out. He wasn't so sure at first, but after the first day or two, he got the hang of opening his mouth. We're still working on the tongue not pushing all the food back out. I'm not sure we got as great of pictures as when Brooke tried cereal, but I think they're still pretty great.

 I can't believe he is going to be 6 months old in 3 weeks!

Lincoln's first solid food meal! Spoiler, he makes a mess. :)

Virginia BEACH

We live so close to the beach, but we don't go very often unfortunately. Probably less now that we have   a baby, but when we do go, our friends live right on the beach so it very convenient to meet them just down the street from their house. We took Lincoln to the beach for the first time a few weeks ago. He was pretty tired and wouldn't take a nap in the shade, but was pretty mellow still. He's a laid back guy and I'm grateful for that!

Not sleeping. Hat eating. 

I'm hoping he get's daddy's skin tone...

Hello big blue ocean!

Be Careful

You might just die a little. At how cute my little man is!

Are you tired of photos of Lincoln yet? Too bad, cause Grandma's not. We took Lincoln swimming for the first time on Saturday. My little froggy! He really seemed to enjoy it. It probably helped that he fell asleep on the way to the pool and was a happy boy when he woke up.

We have a pool play date on Wednesday and I hope the weather is nice so I can take him swimming again. Unfortunately with out Daddy this time.

I love this little guy! Side note, we used a cloth diaper as a swim diaper and yes, it absorbed a lot of water, but it also contained what it need to contain which was a success!

Summertime!

First Haircut

You know how magazines always have a really ugly "before" picture before an awesome makeover? Well, here is Lincoln's before. Sorry, love, not your best photo to date.

He's lost most of the front of his hair and all that was left of his long newborn hair was a patch on the very top of his head and a mullet in the back. After thinking it over for a few weeks, I finally agreed to let Glenn give Lincoln his first haircut.

He wasn't so sure about the clippers, but luckily they aren't too loud and didn't scare him too much. He actually did really well!

"My ears are going where?"

Bye bye baby mullet!

And his "After". Look how handsome he is!

Good work, daddy! I see summer haircuts like this in our future!
