Three Weeks Old

Lincoln is three weeks old today. Daniel says it only feels like a week since he's been born but with everything that has happened plus the lack of sleep from nighttime feedings, it definitely feels like 3 weeks to me :) We have really enjoyed getting to know Lincoln a little better. He's a sweet little boy who has been smiling in his sleep since he was a few days old. He even laughs in his sleep. It's so funny to hear/watch such a little baby laughing. He must have pretty funny dreams. We've gotten him to smile a few times while awake but we're never ready with the camera.

One of the things I love most is that he is very cuddly. He LOVES to be snuggled. He sleeps best when held which makes it a little difficult to get things done around the house. Thank goodness for slings!

Lincoln rarely cries which is very nice. The only exception is when we change his diaper. He really hates having his diaper changed. Stephen always loved having his diaper changed so this is a new thing for us. The good thing is that when he falls asleep while nursing and I can't wake him up, I just change his diaper and he's good to go.

I think he just hates being naked which means he also really hates bath time. He screamed through his first bath and couldn't be consoled until he was wrapped in a towel. Since then he has gotten slightly better with each bath but it's definately not his favorite activity.

He looked a lot like Stephen for the first week or so but now he's starting to get his own look. We're excited for his looks and personality to develop more and more as the days pass.

I love dressing him in holiday attire - here's a montage of my favorite outfits in the order I like best:
