LIncoln lately

Uncle Shane sent this size 6 month onsie to Lincoln at birth. Only fitting from Shane :) But who knew our 7 week old baby would be fit into 6 month clothing! It fits him perfectly, both in size and in the phrase. 
Lincoln is our amazing eater. He will feed whenever and wherever. Just give him food :) 
It's so strange to think he is the exact size, in height and weight, as Sidney was when she was 6 months old! Unreal. The difference is he is still only 7 weeks old, which means he is 15 lbs of flimsy head, frog legged, snuggly baby. We love every ounce. 
As for everything else....
He sleeps from ~10pm-5 or 6am and then goes back to sleep after eating. He continues to love his bath times which is great because lately, I'm bathing him close to everyday. Lincoln spits up 24 hours/day. And I mean 24 hours. Yes, in his sleep too. It is constant. Generally it doesn't bother him, which is good. And we are all too familiar with a spitting baby seeing as though both of the girls were also labeled "spitters". He also loves looking at lights, mostly those in lamps and on the ceiling, but also enjoys staring at light up toys which makes the girls really happy because they want to play toys with him. Ryan will tell you that Lincoln's favorite person is me, and I have to agree. Generally speaking, he will calm right down out of a crying fit if passed to me. Sadly, this has led Ryan, Regan and Sidney to some frustration. Unless he is over tired (he is known to fight falling asleep), the only time he really cries is when he is hungry or needing to burp (the latter has proven difficult for him most days). 
Overall, I tell people he is our "easy button" when it comes to comparing him to other babies. And after the first two difficult ones, I say we deserve it!
