One Month Old

Austin is now one month old! I can't believe he has been here for a whole month. Wow! He's over 12 pounds now and growing strong! He's such a cutie... not that we're partial at all... Here are a few more photos. It probably looks like we just sit around and take pictures all day... and that isn't too far off. We took another step today back into "real" life. We got Austin dressed up and we all went to church. He looked so darn cute that we had to take lots of pictures. It has been really fun to watch Austin's small steps of development. His smiles are still spontaneous, but they are coming more often. (I think they are still due to gas, but hey, a smile is a smile.) He has also been working on focusing on our faces and holding his head up. We actually had a hard time snapping some of these photos because Austin has a favorite spot that he likes to stare at. We have no idea what his fascination is with staring at the back of the couch, but it is his favorite. I try not to let my feelings get hurt that he likes to look at the couch more than my face. Oh well. :) Austin was lucky enough to have Grandma Rinda come for the weekend. He has gotten lots of hugs and kisses this week and he loves it. Thanks for coming Grandma! Lastly, this is one of our favorite outfits. It has a little moose on the front - fitting that we call him our little moose. Thank you so much Ashley and Ryan!

I think he actually is looking at you and not the couch, it's just that his eyes are pointed a little wrong. Just kidding, they tend to do that. I'm sure he won't ever look at me when we come (we had a little scare today, but it's all good now, the trip is to continue as planned).
