first visitors

Lots of folks made special trips to meet Lincoln.

Ritik visited in Feb. He cooked us tacos and I made him pose with Linc.


Jessica flies across the country to visit Linc, Jan 31.


Gram, Great Aunts Linda and Nancy, and Great Grandmother Snell come for a visit Jan 30. Three generations in this photo.

Uncle Dan, Aunt Deb and cousins Wesley, Anna and Rosemary came for a visit on Jan 16. They brought whiskey and lunch. John and Dan drained the booze while the rest of us ran around like crazy people.


Grampa thinks Linc has an 'interesting' face. Jan 12.


Emily flew across the country and held Linc on Jan 9.


Gram came to meet him on Jan 7 and got in some snuggling.


Uncle Pat, Aunt Sarah and cousin Julia (+1 unknown cousin) were happy to meet Linc too.


Grama was there in the hospital, and just up the street thereafter. Here to rock Linc to sleep on Jan 5.


GrandPop and Grandma Ewa, on Dec 31. One of them did most of the holding.

Uncle Pete, Aunts Maralene and Deanna and cousins Evie and Pete were there from the start. Here on Dec 30, our first day home, Evie and Lincoln get their first (of probably many) pictures taken together.

Saturday night out

Celebrating Dan's 40th birthday, thanks to 5 hours of help from Grama and Aunt Deanna, and a breast pump. Yes, we missed him.

Aunt Deanna is a pro

I honestly don't know what I would have done without her these first weeks.

escape

On our first outing sans Lincoln today. Thanks Grama!



How Linc spends 80% of his day

in the arms of one or the other of us, more often awake than asleep. He seems to hate naps.

John chose this photo of course. 6 days old. It makes both of us smile.

eating and sleeping

Sleeping in the cradle, made for his father by his granfather 32 years ago.


He is a good eater, albeit a rough and occasionally fussy one.
