Church Boy

Today was Austin's first time going to church. General Conference, traveling to California, and a cold has prevented us from going sooner. He was an absolute angel. I fed him right before we left, he fell asleep on the way to church, slept the whole three hours, and then ate again once we got home. Perfection.

Birthday Boys

Happy Birthday Seth and Joshua! Thank you Mandy for hosting, and for making these darling cakes!

 

Making masks

 

Love these sweet boys.

 

It looks like  Joshua has beaver teeth.

 

 Pinata time!

Make a wish!

Two Months

Austin is two months old today. He is growing so quickly and changing every day.

At two months Austin loves to smile, coo, has giggled a few times (first giggle was on Joshua's birthday), eat, eat, eat, sleep (he will go 6 hours at night and then 5 hours. Hooray.), and poop. We love every ounce and every roll of this sweet boy.
The many faces of Austin Andrew...

This happens 10,000 times a day.

The relieved face after a blowout. Nasty evidence in the background.

The look on his face when he hears his big brother coming. So much love, it's almost fearful.

Much happier if I am there to monitor the amount of love given.

My two boys had dr appts today.  Joshua's 3 year check up, and Austin's 2 month check up.  Joshua didn't need any shots but Austin had four. Sad.
Stats:
Joshua
Weight: 41 pounds (95%)
Height: 41.5 inches (90%)
Austin:
Weight: 14 pounds 13 oz (95%) Not bad considering his birth weight was in the 10th percentile
Height: 24 inches (90%)

Joshua was standing on the toilet tonight and fell off and hit his cheek on the counter. Nothing a little bandaid and treat couldn't fix.

Nakie baby. Love the chub.

Happy Birthday Joshua

Three. Three wonderful years. I can not put into words how much love and joy this boy has brought into my life. He is such a sweet boy, and he has me wrapped quite nicely around his little finger. Happy Birthday little man, thanks for three great years.

One Month

One month ago today this little man was born. He is one sweet boy and we love him so much.

It's So Nice to Meet You

Dear Austin,
It has been so nice to have you in our family. You have made us draw closer as a family in a way that only the love from a newborn baby can. These last three weeks have been so fun getting to know your sweet little spirit and seeing your sweet little face.
We love everything about you.
We love...
the way your big brother loves you so much,

 

 

how much Audrey adores you,

 

 

how happy you make everyone,

 

the way everyone loves to snuggle you,

 

 

that Memor and Fafa came and were beyond amazing helpers when you were born,

 

that you love bath time,

 

the smell of your head and sweet breath, heavenly,

 

the way you crinkle your forehead, my little turtle,

 

the crazy faces you make while you sleep,

 

and your cute ones too,

 

 

 

 

your perfect, soft little feet (that Audrey says she wishes she could snuggle at night, they are that soft),

 

that because you were born my mom came to spend six glorious days here, spoiling everyone rotten,

that your head fits in the palm of my hand, and those very kissable lips,

your bum. I could pinch it all day long,

and I love that you make me a better person. I love you sweet boy.
~Mom
