Peru and Machu Picchu with a 3 month old

We made it to Peru! One of our best friends, Jason Sanders has been living down in the sacred valley for almost a year saving the world. He made the trip 'Super Feliz' and easy. When we told him we were coming he talked to one of his coworkers and got it set up so we could stay with her and her family. They were really nice and loved Lincoln. Each morning the mom, Erma, would take him from us for at least an hour to just play with him and change his diaper.

 The Peruvians, especially in this little village we stayed in (urubamba) were very humble people and everyone loved Lincoln. They all thought he was soo big. They also thought he was a girl half the time so it kept our egos in check.

 This was my first time getting some real ceviche and it rocked my world. It was amazing!

Night in Lima B&B $60 + homestay in urubamba $16/night + machu picchu tickets $100 + machu picchu train $100 + 3 hats at the festival $10 + some buses, food, and a haircut = about $700

Lincoln at one month

Lincoln had his one month appointment the other day.  He now weighs 8 lbs 9 oz.  He went from being in the 5th percentile for weight to the 25th percentile. Now he can finally fit into his size one diapers!

Fresh Pictures of Lincoln

Here are some more pictures of Lincoln. He is a little over 3 weeks now and doing really good. At his two week checkup he was 7 lbs 3 oz and 20 inches. So he is going to be huge, but I guess we knew that going into this whole thing. We are loving being parents and having so much fun being with him. We wish everyone could come out and visit but for those of you who can't, we hope these pictures help.

He loves his binky, and we are indoctrinating him to like sports...

and his gym (thanks Jacobsens)

and we love cuddling with him

He loves to sit and stare

and to make faces

(Hopefully this won't be permanent)

He hates to take sponge baths

This is Lincoln's second bath, a much better experience than his first one
