Tonight for dinner we had burritos. For the meat we used my friend Becky's (you can check her out at savvycook.blogspot.com) recipe. 1 chicken breast, 1 can of black beans, 1 can of green chilies, and 1 package of taco seasoning. Throw it into the crock pot for a few hours then shred your chicken. Done. Super easy and really good. We also made this rice recipe, a clone of Bajio's sweet rice. Again really easy and really good.

Speaking of food. My little guy isn't so little anymore. This past Tuesday he weighed in at 9lbs 12oz. He's almost gained 4lbs in not quite 6 weeks. Lincoln is changing so fast. He's starting to be awake more. He LOVES staring at faces. He's starting to interact more. He's almost smiling. He's also more demanding. He likes attention when he's awake and he likes to be in his crib when he's tired. Last night he slept 5 hours straight! So exciting. Way better then the 2 1/2 he was averaging when we brought him home from the hospital. I'm in love.

(I think it's a little funny that in most of the pictures I have of Lincoln he has a pacifier in his mouth. He really doesn't like pacifiers at all, but he hates the camera flash even more. It's like I'm torturing him. First with the flash and then with the pacifier. You can imagine how thrilled he is every time Molly and Gabe try to help him by shoving I mean gently placing a pacifier in his mouth while he's crying. :) hmmm)

Our tree bloomed this week. Beautiful. There was a bunny in the yard the other day. Molly and Gabe went out to investigate and splash in a lot of puddles along the way. This is what happens when it's 90 degrees. :)

When my mom was here we had her take some family pictures.

Gabe likes to "shoot" us with his finger. Not really sure where he got it or how I feel about it, but it is what it is. Look at how happy he is in this picture. Priceless.
