Eureka, I finally figured it out.....

Ok, so it has taken me two weeks to figure out how to type text above the pictures in the same post, wow do I feel blonde!!! But, I finally figured it out, so now you can see the text and the pictures in the same post:):) I know there are tons of meaningless pictures below, I apologize for the insane amount in advance. I got super camera happy tonight and there were tons of cute pictures of him and I couldn't decide which ones to post so I posted lots of them, ENJOY!!!


"Dad, what are you doing??"


Finally a picture with mom....











I love this one, it looks like he's yelling at me to stop taking pictures:):)









A little elvis lip going on:):)

Our little chunker.....

Austin had his 2 month check-up today and I definately went prepared with a list of questions. I'm sure the doctor thought I was nuts when I pulled out my sheet with questions on it, but for those that know me well, you know I have a two second memory and would have forgotten to ask 3/4 of the things I wanted to. Here is a rundown of the appointment:
1) First of the measurements: he was 14 lbs 1.25 oz, in the 94th percentile and was 24 inches long, the 87th percentile. Both of these were greatly increased from the 70th percentiles he was in before. But the doctor says he is proportionate and healthy and there is no need to change his eating habits, so for now we just let our little chunker grow:):)
2) He had to get three shots, which Mom was definately not crazy about, but after about 30 seconds of crying and a little tylenol (which he devoured, apparently he likes cherry flavor) he was good to go.
3) His collarbone is completely healed, just a little bump remains that she said would eventually disappear.
4) After multiple phone calls from me about his left eye that keeps running and being all gooped up, they have decided to try an antibiotic to see if there is an infection or if its just a blocked tear duct.
5) The doc referred us to a pediatric surgeon to remove his cyst above his left eyebrow, so we have a consultation appt there next week.
6) And the last issue was his constipation, currently he is on day 4 with no bowel movement. After trying everything else (rectal temperature, glycerine suppository, water) all to no avail, the doctor said to try milk of mag, so hopefully that gets things moving....

ROAR OR GOBBLE?????

Austin's first Halloween was great!!! I bought his costume thinking of comfort and Matt thought he looked more like a turkey than a lion which is what he was supposed to be, but either way he was cute:):) We went to Matt's fourth grade class' Halloween party and of course all the kids were dying to get to see him. Then we took him to his first house trick or treating, aunt Jamies house, and then we just hung out at home and handed out candy to all the little kiddos that came by. Not too exciting of a first halloween, bit considering he wasn't such a fan of having his hood on and was out of his costume by 7:00, that was ok. Hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween!!!
