That's what they are made for

Thumbs!! 
They are made for sucking, right? Well Lincoln seems to think so. I tried so hard to get him to take a Pacifier over the last few months. He took one for a little bit but mostly if you held it in. But now, no Pacifier. Only thumb, please! It is pretty convenient for when he goes to bed though. We lay him down and in goes his thumb and off to sleep he goes.
We have had to start letting him cry it out. It breaks my heart! I hate it! But I want a good sleeper who doesn't need us rocking him to sleep for thirty minutes each night. So we get out loves and cuddles in and then I lay him down and let him fuss. He won't fuss for long but it's still a heartbreaking thing to hear from our little munchkin!

P.S: Lincoln is three months now! I will do a little 3 month update soon.

P.S.S: I start teaching again tonight! I am super excited but nervous. I still have a lot of weight to loose (which is why I am excited to start teaching again) and it will be hard being in front of a large group when I feel this out of shape and uncomfortable in my own skin. But I know with a little hard work it will come off!

The Missing Linc

You know when people say that they can't remember what life was like before a baby? Well, I remember, but I wouldn't want to change having linc our life for anything!!

Overall, he is a very happy little guy. Hardly fusses unless he is hungry or tired. The mornings are my favorite time with him. I wake him up when I get up in the morning so we can have some time together before I go to work. I will lay him on a blanket in the living room and hear him talk to the fan and windows for 30 minutes or so while I am getting dressed! It's my favorite sound in the world. Even Rebel comes walking by just to check him out.

The past few days he has been more chatty than usual. I think he has found his voice... just after he found the fascinating world of HANDS!

I recorded this mornings little chat but can't get it uploaded for some reason. Hopefully I can figure it out and then you all can enjoy ;)
