THREE Months

Well another month has come and gone & my sweet little Lincoln is three months old. He really has been such a good but very sleepy baby up until a week ago. One day he just woke up and was like yeah mom I'm ready to be awake! So, he cut out his morning nap and only takes one nap in the afternoon for a few hours. I can't complain, in fact I was just as welcoming to this change as he was. He is so much fun and I enjoy being his mama so much. I have the best job in the world. Here are the things we learned this month:

+ even better sleeper at night now that he is awake all day

+ wakes up once a night at around 4 for feeding 

+ HATES tummy time, he probably hates this the most in life

+ love love loves bath time still

+ loves TV (haha)

+ really starting to reach and grab at things and gets frustrated when he can't get it

+ still is a mama's boy but loves when daddy comes home

+ is a real lover of hair

+ patty cake is his favorite game

+ still in 0-3 month clothes but getting close to growing out of them. So sad

+ has found his hands & LOVES to put them in his mouth & thinks he is pretty cool for doing it 

+ loves Christmas lights

We love our little guy so stinking much! He gets lots of snuggles around here with mom, dad, grandma, & grandpa all living with him & all just adore him! Plus his Uncle Eric is here for Christmas so that means even MORE snuggles. 

Christmas at the Bernard's

Every year I always mean to keep up with what we do during December but it never works. December is always SO busy for us, I can't believe I have a minute to blog about it before Christmas this year. Hey, I did better than last year, I did do a blog about our tree. This year has been extra magical with Lincoln in our house. I can't imagine how much more magical it will be once he knows what is going on! We have really tried to start some new traditions this year and it has been so much fun!

This year our new traditions were cutting down our own tree & the gingerbread village in Seattle. These are both traditions we will be keeping for many years to come! Although we had a HUGE tree this year and it was a pain because my dogs thought it was a jungle gym 😱, we still want to cut down a tree every year. It just seemed to make the tree even more special than normal. 

Dressing up and taking pictures of Lincoln has been SO fun! & Santa was great! Let's see how he feels about him next year

& of course as always baking, lots & lots of baking with a little gingerbread house decorating in there

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas & can remember what the true meaning is, the birth of our Savior. I have pondered on this much more than I ever have this year and have tried to make our Christmas season much more centered on Christ. 

Christmas in Seattle

I love love love Seattle. What I love even more is Seattle at Christmas time, I don't know why, all the hustle and bustle and Christmas everywhere just makes the big city so much more special. Today Kelsey and I ventured over to Seattle today with our little Lincoln & of course he did amazing. I don't think he cried once while we were out today. How did we get such an amazing baby? He is so good to us. I had just the perfect day with my little family & I feel so lucky to call them mine. I often feel as if I don't deserve them 😊

Lincoln loved his first ferry ride. Had to get a family selfie in there!

These two🎅 I mean come on. I could just eat them up they are so so cute together. P.S. I love my view while shopping😍

We started a new tradition this year and headed over to the Sheraton hotel to check out the gingerbread village. Everyone should totally go! It's so worth the line. The people who make these houses are amazing and have so much patience. It was so cool & we can't wait to go back next year. Maybe next year Lincoln will actually be awake for it😂
