Lincoln Lately

Lincoln is already almost 7 weeks old. I can't believe it. When we took him in for his two week visit, he was not quite back up to his birth weight, so I was anxious to take him in for his month check up. I needn't have worried. They expect babies to put on 4-7 ounces per week at this age, and he has averaged 9 oz per week since his two week visit. He's up to 10 lbs already!

He is also starting to get a sleep routine going that includes 9 hours of sleep at a stretch each night. I'm hoping to get up to 12 very soon though.

We just discovered the bouncer in this picture, and he really loves it. As a result, so do we :).

It's nice to feel like we are developing a routine though our upcoming vacation could really put a dent on that. Once we get home though we should really be able to start establishing a routine, and for the first time I'm starting to feel like we are going to be able to make this five person family thing actually work.
