Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The last few nights I've been able to put Lincoln down after feeding him at night and while he's still awake. I wrap him up in his burrito, give him a kiss, and then turn off the light. Bless you , child, bless you.
Now, if only I could go straight to bed myself and gets lots of good sleep. Someday. Maybe I'll try tonight. =)

It's a girl thing

I recently went to Washington to spend a weekend with all the Cramer girls: my mom, sisters, and sister-in-law. We did allow some boys -- our babies that couldn't be away from us. We stayed in a home at Seabrook, a vacation home rental property on the Washington Coast. It was awesome.I got to bond with my little nephew, Benjamin. He was so smiley all the time.

We got a lot of walks and runs in, as well as some exercising together. We love Jillian Micheals' 30-day Shred DVD. "You've gotta fight for this."

Cousins Lincoln and Conrad got to meet for the first time. They are only 3 weeks apart. I don't think they minded being surrounded by us girls. At least they had each other and Benjamin to keep each other company.

And here is just one little bit of our yummy menu the whole weekend. Every meal we would sit down and say, "Oh, why can't we eat like this every meal."

Here's the gang - my mom was taking the picture. The house was awesome. It included a hot tub where we had some fun chats. We were sharing the whole weekend, though. We also little devotionals every morning and evening. We had such great gospel discussions.

I love my sisters, I love my mom, and I love my sister-in-law!!! I can't wait to do this again!!!

Last couple weeks

Lincoln gives us lots of good eye contact and cute smiles. He's also giving us some more sleep at night 5-7 hours at night. Feels good.

Davis loves to draw on his own now. I love to see what he comes up with and am glad to step down as his personal artist. =)

Kids wanted to do some stargazing on one of the warmer nights that we've been having. They also like to watch the clouds during the day.

Gabbie got a super cute haircut. Just too cute for words.

Happy Birthday, Gabbie!

I can't believe she's 3 already!! Time has gone by way too fast. We love our crazy, big blue-eyed, sweet, snuggly, beautiful girl!!!

1 month

Lincoln is one month already! We had a little photo shoot, since I forgot to get some when he was brand new. He had a doctor's appointment at 3 weeks and doing well. He now weighs 8 lbs 2 oz. (23rd percentile). I was glad to see him put on some weight since he lost so much in his first few days. It's strange for me to have a little little one since the first 2 were always in the 85th percentile and above. I'm sure he'll pack it on and catch up very soon. Either that or he'll still be able to hold his own and be able to keep up with his older brother and sister. He really has no choice, actually. =)

He is our little sweet, calm boy.

I was using Gabbie's blanket for him to lay on, but she decided she wanted it back. I guess we're done.

Good Times

I heard laughing and giggling in Lincoln's room. I always love to hear it, but there's always that fear that maybe it could be because they are being mischevious or destructive. Luckily, it was neither, and Lincoln wasn't taking a nap and being woken up by his older siblings.

Too much fun. =)

A Break in the Clouds

A couple weeks ago we had a break from the rain and the kids were really needing to get out. Luckily, Lincoln was taking a good nap inside and we had some fun outside and enjoyed the sunshine. Love Gabbie's ensemble finished off by her pink rainboots.

Having fun hiding behind the rosemary bushes. I always know when they've been outside when they come in smelling like rosemary.

Peek - a - boo!

Davis found his buddy ladybug, "Spots."
