Happy Halloween!

We had a really low key Halloween this year. We dressed Lincoln in a costume given to us by some friends. It was cow/horse - cow ears, horse mane, cow tail. We never could decide which, but it didn't really matter because Lincoln was adorable in it! He loved it because it was cozy and warm. We went down to the Plaza and walked around for a bit before it got too cold out. Lincoln gave us our best Halloween treat ever - he smiled his first social smile at us. Scooter even happened to have the camera out to document it. What a doll! He has completely melted our hearts.

Newborn Photos

I love the pictures that my sister, Andrea, had taken of my nephew Eli when he was a newborn. One afternoon I tried taking some that were similar. I think some of them turned out pretty well. When you are completely in love with your subject and think he's the cutest thing in the whole world it's easy to be biased. I wish he'd stay this small for a long time - I'm already dreading him getting bigger!

We're Completely Smitten

I wish there was time to write more, but Lincoln will probably wake up any minute, so, for now, I'll just put up some more photos. That's really what people want to see anyway, right?

We love our little Lincoln!

We're Having a Baby TODAY!

Hi everyone!  I just wanted to give a quick update on the baby.  Scooter and I arrived at the hospital at 8:30 last night.  I was 5 days past my due date and wasn't making much progress at all.  Because of Scooter's busy schedule with school, we decided that having the baby over the weekend was going to be the best way for him to spend as much time with the new baby as he could. 

They started the induction at around 10 p.m.  Not much happened overnight, but my water broke a few hours ago (and was full of meconium), and now the contractions are in full force.  I haven't had the epidural (yet!) but hopefully things will progress on their own pretty quickly.  My mom, dad, sister Andrea, and her son Eli are all in town to help out and meet our little guy.

I'll give more updates as soon as I know anything!  We can't wait!!!
