Our latest pics......

Austin is 6 weeks old (we can't believe it!) and getting bigger each day now it seems! He is becoming very aware now of sights and sounds. He seems to love listening to music- it really gets him groovin! He is also trying really hard to find that thumb of his, and doing really well at picking up his head during tummy time. For the past few days we have been trying to work on extending his night time sleeping periods. Our doctor said he is plenty big enough to be on his way to sleeping through the night and he seemed to be moving backwards with shorter time periods there for a couple of days. This is not the most fun part John and I are realizing, so we welcome any suggestions!! Enjoy some of our latest pics below.....








John's little South Carolina fan!



Austin in his cool Beatles tee!



This picture of him is too funny....we think he looks like a little old man napping!



Austin seems to love his baths. Here's one of him and dad at bathtime one night.


We just love this picture of him......

Thank You Grammy and Grampy!

Austin now has a new toy.......Thanks Grammy and Grampy for Austin's new swing! We just received it yesterday and he loves this thing. After John and I put it together, we put Austin in it to try it out and he was asleep within about, oh.... 2 minutes! After a quick nap, he really was into staring at the mobile above him and listening to the music it plays. We love it- thank you!!

1 Month Old!!

Baby Austin is 1 month old today. Alyson & I can't believe it! He had his 1 month checkup yesterday & everything looks good. He did great getting his first shot & is now weighing in at 10 lbs 13 oz, and 23 inches long. He's gained a little over 2 lbs & 2 inches the first month. Thanks again to my parents & the Blums for everything you did while visiting & helping us out this 1st month. We love you. Here are some pictures of the little fella from the last week.

Austin's grandparents have been visiting....

John's parents, George and Carolyn, came down from Georgia to meet Austin over this past week. You can tell by the pictures below, Austin loved snuggling with his granddad and grandmother! While they were here they took walks with Bailey and Austin to the park to chase squirrels, helped us out with lots of chores around the house, and made us lots of delicious dinners. We appreciate all of their help and we are so grateful to them for everything they do for us!!
