Family Day

The Turks had a picnic Sunday to celebrate Children's Day (a Turkish
holiday). We missed the picnic because Devrim had to work. To make
up for it he took Monday off, so we could have some family time. It was
raining so we went to the mall to buy a few things for Lincoln. I can't
believe he is already wearing size 9 months! He's over 11lbs! He is
going to be very tall. Don't let those cheeks deceive you, he is a string
bean.

Devrim's family will be here next week, so we're trying to get the house
clean. I remember when cleaning the house only took a couple of hours.
I have been trying to clean it for two days now and haven't even finished
the first floor. Alwell, we are enjoying our time as parents so much. I can't
believe I only have 4 1/2 weeks left of my maternity leave. It's going way
too fast!!

Milestones

Lincoln is six weeks and 2 days old today. Everyday brings something
new. The last few days Lincoln has started smiling and laughing. His
smile just melts our hearts. In the mornings, after he eats and gets a
clean diaper he likes to play with daddy. He gets really excited and
starts kicking his legs and making all sorts of noises. I'm not sure what
he's trying to say, but whatever it is he is very excited about it.

Even though Lincoln has only been with us for six short weeks, we've
already forgotten what life was like without him. We are enjoying
everyday as a family!

Devrim's mom and brother will be arriving in Dallas two weeks from
today. I'm looking forward to spending some time with his family.
Lincoln is the first grandchild and they couldn't be more excited to
meet him. Melahat (Devrim's mom) has offered to stay for a few
months and watch the baby once I go back to work. It will definitely
make the transition a lot easier.
