At Maverick’s appointment I explained to Lincoln that the nurse was going to poke his foot. Lincoln was mad right off the start when I told him this, so when she entered the room, he welcomed her with a big scowl and his arms crossed.
Nurse: Oh how are you?
Lincoln glares
Nurse: Are you a big brother now?
Lincoln glares
Nurse: Alright…….
Nurse pokes Mavericks foot and Lincoln’s mouth drops in horror and he covers his mouth with both hands. He gives me the look, “mom did you see what she did?!?”.
Maverick continues sucking on his binky like nothing happened.
Lincoln is full of rage.
Nurse smiles at Lincoln: That went well!
Lincoln: I want you to blow up!
Nurse stares in shock.
Lincoln begins pointing at random objects in the room: I want that to blow up and that and that and that. I want this room to blow up!
Nurse hands Lincoln three stickers to offer some comfort.
Lincoln throws the stickers at her.
Nurse gives me the look, “good luck with psycho child” and leaves.
And although I am slightly embarrassed that my son told a stranger he wanted her to blow up, I am also proud that he is already protective of his little brother.
Other Pictures from the week:
Lincoln’s response to Maverick has been better than we anticipated. He LOVES Maverick! He wants him everywhere we go and is constantly touching his hands and feet. It is those little gentle touches that mean the most to me.
Maverick has been the perfect baby so far. He never cries unless I let him go too long without eating, but he usually grunts a lot if he is getting hungry, tired or uncomfortable. 
The newborn stage is my favorite stage because newborns are so sweet and perfect. This child NEVER gets set down, even at night, because I don’t want to miss a moment of his sweetness. 
Needed to get in the carrier too!
First bath!
So tiny!
Has to bring Maverick everywhere
And here is my Lincoln……….look alike or not?
I cannot express how blessed I feel. These past 12 days I have been overwhelmed with love and reminded of what life is really about. I love my boys SO much! Living in the moment is my life right now.
