2 Months

Lincoln is now 8 weeks! On Wednesday we went to the doctor for the 2 month check-up and shots. He is now 12 lbs 4 oz and 23 inches long. He isn't fitting into his 0-3 month clothes very well. Crazy! He did have to get some of his shots. There were 3 shots. 2 nurses gave 2 of the shots at the same time and the 3rd shot came shortly after. I had to hold down his arms. He only cried while he was being stuck. Then he was fine. I took pictures of the band-aids on his legs when we got home. He has been such a good boy. He has even started sleeping through the night (10:30 p.m. - 4:30 or 5:30 a.m.). I am keeping my fingers crossed that it continues!!

For those interested we are blessing him this Sunday at 11 a.m. in the church by our house. We are planning on staying for all of our meetings, so no food after... Sorry! We would still love to see you, though :)

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving I am very thankful for my family. I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful son. This time last year I couldn't have imagined how great life would be in a year. We both have families that love and support us. We are surrounded by good neighbors and friends. I truly am grateful this year for all that I have - including jobs for both me and my husband! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Here are some more pictures of my favorite little boy.

Lincoln

So a lot has happened in the last two months. Most exciting was the birth of our son, Lincoln. He was born Tues. Oct 7 at 4:25 a.m. I was induced Oct 6 at 8 a.m. and ended up with a c-section. Lincoln did great the whole time, just didn't want to come out! He was 8 lbs 12 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. A good healthy baby. We left the hospital that Friday. Here are some pictures of the cute baby.

I can't believe he is over 4 weeks old! He is growing so fast. Some other milestones for Lincoln are his attendance at the first ever playoff game for Real Salt Lake and Halloween. He also saw his cousin Ella be blessed last Sunday. The last picture is of all the Porter cousins the day of Ella's blessing.

One more cousin coming on the Porter side in January!!

We are excited that on the Pay side Lincoln will have 2 new cousins in May. Natalie is having her 4th and Josh and Liz are having their 1st!! That is a lot of new cousins for Lincoln to play with!
