Yeah For Linc!!

Carter is officially home and healthy and shouldn't have any more surgeries. He made it home on Tuesday and it has been an interesting transition. He was a little spoiled while in the hospital, which is understandable since he just had his chest cut open- but makes it difficult to spoil him when there are two other needy babies. So I do what I can to keep him happy and try to be extra careful. However, he is a little moody. First pic was him having a blast - when he gets excited his tongue sticks out and moves all around- just a happy kid. Second pic is shortly after the first was taken. His pouty, bottom lip will quiver a bit; he is an emotional roller coaster so the binky is his best friend right now. Either way- we LOVE having him home!
Now the yeah for Lincoln part.... This morning he got some tummy time which is seems to really enjoy. He has been able to hold his head up for awhile, remember he is the tank. He is a strong kid, but he decided to roll from his stomach to his back all on his own- nothing touched him- wasn't even trying to encourage him since it is a little early but so exciting. He loves sleeping on his stomach- so he is getting closer to being able to leave him.

So glad Carter is home and doing so well. The babies are adorable. I can see a bit of family resemblence to some McDowell cousins:) Wish you were closer so I could come spoil them all.

I'm glad that everything went well with Carter's operation. I can't imagine watching your tiny baby be put through all of that. At least he won't remember it. =)
