Oh what a way to finish out our summertime travels and to initiate Lincoln into the life of being a Cougar!!
We are grateful for the picture below as it illustrates how Lincoln has decided to soothe himself. He hates his binky (which I have purchased a total of 6 in the first 3 months of his life because I can never seem to remember where I leave them), and does not particularly like to be rocked. He prefers us to lay him in his crib, then he proceeds to smack himself in the face a few times until he finds his thumb and then falls promptly asleep. Quite hilarious actually.
This will come into play in a later picture...
Dallas purchased several BYU outfits for our little man. This is a picture of Lincoln trying on his outfit before we left for Texas to make sure it fit appropriately for the game...he's obviously ready for the part of the fight song that says, "Ra...ra..ra.ra.ra. GOooooooooo Cougars!!!"
Proud to be a Cougar.
We are so spoiled. Lincoln nursed on the way up and down on the plane, but looked like this the rest of the time. The joys of traveling with a new baby! (Relatively new (:)
On our way out the door to the BYU vs OU game...at the new GINORMOUS Cowboys stadium.
Crazy Cougar fan and child that has no clue what kind of family he's gotten into.
In front of the stadium. We left in plenty of time so as to not get caught in traffic and have enough time to park, etc. When we arrived we just couldn't believe that there wasn't TONS of pregame traffic like there usually is anywhere there's a football game. Well, it turned out the game started at 6, not 7, so we got there in time for the 2nd Quarter. Whoops. The Cougs just needed us to arrive before they kicked it into gear.
Lincoln is so confused at why his parents are so obsessed.
THE. HUGE. STADIUM.
At the end of the 2nd quarter Lincoln decided he wanted to snuggle. Still no crying...(Note: I was SOOO prepared man. I packed a novel to read in the car in case he got super fussy and wouldn't let us stay in the stands with all the other crazies, but no need, he's a true blue cougar.)
Why I am thankful for Lincoln's thumb. He found it in no time and took a good 45 minute nap so he could be rested for the AMAZING last quarter.
Catching Up!
Time Runs Out....
Boo Yah!!!! Victory!!!
Raising helmets as we sing the fight song!
Ok...Do you see the smaller screen? This is the size of the ones that are usually in every OTHER stadium. Do you see the BIG screen? This is the SIZE of the one where WE were....HUGE!
VICTORY!!
Oh yeah baby!
Lincoln saying, "Go Cougs!!"
Our Victory picture!
So we went to Texas to see the BYU game, but we also went to visit Dallas' family and we were lucky because Baranie had her baby 3 weeks early just so we could see Levi while we were there! (Just kidding...she didn't do it for us). We had a blast hanging out with Dallas' family and although we didn't take as many pictures as we would've liked, we had a great time!!
While Gram and Grandpa were on vacation, they let us stay at their house, so this is Lincoln's "crib". What a good sport.
Lincoln's "after game day" outfit. Good choice Dallas. :)
So Nana wanted to get a picture with her and all of her grandkids. Not sure how good everyone else's pics turned out, but we sure love THIS one...notice Dallas trying to cheer Greta up in the bottom right hand corner, Nana trying to grab Adam before he runs away and the rest trying to figure out what to do....lol.
Lincoln on his way home from Texas. He was all tuckered out.
These pictures are just here because we're still obsessed with our little man. The middle one is my favorite because he pretty much looks like that most of the time. :)
