A year ago today I was in denial that little Lincoln would be born 4 weeks early. I had just shot a wedding 3 days before and had another to shoot in 11 days, so needless to say, I had things to do that didn’t involve recovering from a c-section and exhausted from getting up every few hours. But after saying all of that, I wouldn’t change a thing about his timing. His perfect timing. Bobbie (Grammy) was able to watch the kids for us while we stayed in the hospital for 3 1/2 days (the longest I had ever stayed after having a baby), and I was recovered enough to shoot most of Aubree and Brandon’s wedding, 11 days later.I was also so pleased to get a tiny little baby. Isabella was 8 ‘10, Gracelyn was 7 ‘13, but Lincoln was 6 ‘4. So very cute! Although, judging by that weight at 4 weeks early, I’m sure he would have been more on the Isabella size of things come his due date!

I love having three kids. They all have such different personalities, and it’s such a treasure to see how they grow and interact with each other. Lincoln is definitely different than the girls! He is our happiest baby and loves to watch his sisters and cousin Sienna. I foresee many “dress up” days!   Isabella has all ready told me that he is the prince! Lincoln has many baby toys, but is very bored with them and would much rather move and explore or try to escape to his sister’s room and find anything he can to put in his mouth (my little pony!). I’m very pleased to say that he loves to cuddle just as much as the girls did. He would rather explore something, but he will let me cuddle him too.

When we found out we were having a little boy, I knew that Lincoln would never-ever take the place of our twin boys, but I wondered if I would miss them even more after having the experience of raising a little boy. I can now say that after having Lincoln, I miss our boys just the same, but I am even more excited to one day see our twin boys again.

Dear little Lincoln, I’m so happy that we were blessed with you. You complete our little family and bring so much joy to all of us. I’m so very blessed to be your Mommie.

If you follow my blog or my facebook page, you will know that Lincoln rocks a Lyle Lovette type hair style. He is like Samson with those locks! I’ve cut it 4 times, but it was time for the big guns. AKA clippers. My dear friend Chrissy has 2 boys and cuts their hair every other week, so I knew she would be the one qualified to give Lincoln his very first hair cut, and teach this Mommie of two girls how to cut a little boy’s hair.

Enjoy the first hair cut! As you see, he DID not like it!

Really Mommie. His hair was out. of. control.

So sweet. You can’t see it, but there is a tear.

And here is Chrissy trying to make peace with her latest hair cut victim. I think they made up.

Rockin the new do. I use Aveda Men’s hair sculpting wax on his hair now.
