More Lincoln Pics

We are having so much fun with our sweet little nephew! These past 4 days have flown by and we are sad to be going home already tomorrow. He is the best and easiest-going baby EVER! He never cries! He just hangs out and lets everyone love on him all day. So much fun!! We already cant wait to see him again in a few weeks!

Handsome little buddy

Lincoln Lamar Van Huss

My sister had her baby boy this past Saturday bringing the total number of cousins on the Gray side to 6! To keep in tradition of the past 2 cousins born with an L- name, they named their new son Lincoln. Okay not really, but it is kind of cool that we now have a Lola, Landon, and Lincoln :) His middle name is Lamar after my mother's father who was an amazing person and grandfather. Lincoln was born at 5: 07am weighing 7 lbs 14 oz and measured 20 in long. He has a TON of dark hair and beautiful little features :) He is so handsome and sweet and we love him so very much already!! When my sister called Friday night at 9pm saying she was going into the hospital, I quickly packed my bag and drove down to St George with my Brother Taylor who has been staying with us for the last week (my parents also left Denver at the same time but got in a few hours later at 9am) We arrived at 2am and she was ready to push a little before 5. I was so honored that she asked me to stay in the room with her and Matt to help coach and be the camera lady. It was my first time witnessing (and photographing) a birth (besides my own, but even with Lola, I didnt watch) so do excuse me if the pictures arent of the greatest quality... It was really exciting to be there when Lincoln was welcomed into the world and I will never forget the experience. Thank you Matt and Oobie for letting me share that special time with you! I am so excited for them to start their family and I hope that it is everything they dreamed of. And Lincoln is the perfect beginning :)

Taylor, Paige and I just before the delivery
He's here!!


*Little side note: When my sister got closer to her due date, we all put in our guesses for date, weight/height and time of birth. I won 3 of the 4 guesses with the exact date, exact weight and closest to the time by 7 minutes!! How well do I know my little nephew already?!

Proud (and pretty tired) new Mommy
Very proud new Daddy :)
And a pretty excited Auntie :)

Ill be going back down in a few days to spend the week with the Van Huss' so there will be plenty more pictures of this handsome boy to come :)

Misc. Pics.- June

Saying hi to her friend in the (dirty) mirror...
and giving her kisses

Watching out the window for the doggies

Being totally entertained with a box
One of her new favorite 'tricks'- lean over upside down for a cool new view :)

A Lola style cheeser smile

I asked Brooklyn to watch Lola for 5 minutes and I found them in Brooklyn's room where she had set up a play-station for Lola with toys that were safe for her to play with. What a smart and helpful big sister :)

Lola enjoying a breathing treatment for her asthma. She is doing much better now and only wheezes a little around some dogs and certain places outside. She has been great about using the inhalers and nebulizer.

Learning to climb into her buggy by herself...


Ta-Da! This is her way of saying Yay for me! (We always clap and say yay when she does something new, cute, or asked to)

The many cute faces of our Lola Viola...



Playing outside in her little pool. Have you noticed yet that she LOVES to be naked?!? Plus its summer and hot and who can say no to a little naked bum running around :)


Lola with her block bag that she thinks is a purse :) She puts her favorite little toys inside it and then carries it ALL around the house and lately has started carrying in on her arm like so. Too cute! One of these days Ill have to buy her a really cute girly purse even though I think she likes this one so much bc its see through and she knows exactly what she has in there :)
