Little Lincoln

 
      
Andrew and Rachel welcomed their newest addition February 1, 2013. Lincoln Andrew Contreras arrived at 11:08 pm. He was 6 lbs 11oz and was 19.5 inches!
 
Emory and I headed south to meet little Lincoln and visit with Rachel, Andrew, and Miss Mckenzie Wednesday. The girls had a blasts playing!

Crazy Hair!
 
Lincoln is a great baby! He was 25 days early so at this point he is doing what he would have been doing in Rachel's belly...sleeping and eating! I did manage to see his eyes a few times and they appear to be a dark blue. He is tiny and just precious. Despite coming early and having a heart condition, our prayers were answered and Lincoln arrived breathing on his own and did not require a trip to the NICU or open heart surgery immediately following his birth!

His big sis was not in the mood to take a picture, but she is doing a fantastic job in her new role! She is very caring towards him, often patting his little head gently. I think she is going to be a fantastic big sister! We plan on going back for another visit soon with Bradley and Cason this time.
