First family Christmas....

Merry Christmas!! Tonight we celebrated our first family Christmas here at home before heading off to good old North Platte tomorrow to celebrate with the rest of our families. Austin was the only one who got presents this year since our budget is a little crunched with neither of us having jobs yet:):) He is really getting into grabbing and holding onto things, so he was grabbing and pulling his paper off his presents. He got 4 outfits, a walker/activity center, and a animal/alphabet ball. He wasn't too excited about his clothes, but he did like his toys. He was even able to spin the ball on his own already, what a smart kid we've got!! Apparently it really wore him out, as he is already in bed. These are some pictures from tonight and the past week or so, I have been busy Christmas shopping so haven't had time to post any lately. Happy Holidays!!!

Hello!!! The weeks seem to be flying by as the new year approaches. I absolutely love Christmas and am even more excited this year to get to celebrate it with Austin. He is such a good little boy, I think I have only heard him cry maybe a total of 5 times in 3 months!!! We truely are blessed to have such a great baby!! He has already changed our lives so much, and we wouldn't want it any other way. We are truly in love with our little boy, and can't wait to continue to watch him grow up. Here are a few more pics of him in the last few weeks, around 3 months.

Trying on his new winter hat, his dad hates it;)

Hard to believe that Austin is going to be three months old tomorrow!!! The time has flown by, and I look at pictures of him from when he was born and I can hardly remember them, even though it was only 3 months ago!!! This past week was a busy one for us, like it was for most people I'm sure. Thursday we went to my sisters house and hung out with my family for some food, fun, and of course early morning shopping on Friday!!! We came back to Omaha to have Thanksgiving with Matt's family on Saturday and then Austin had his church dedication on Sunday. It was a busy, fun filled four days, and Austin was sure glad to be back in his own routine this week. By the time Sunday was over he was looking at me like, "mom where did all these screaming kids come, and why are they always in my face??":):) let's just say his cousins all love playing with him, and they think the only way to play with him is to be about 3 inches from his face:):) I attached a couple pictures from this weekend, and will post a few more of his dedication when I get them. Hope everyone's thanksgiving was as great as ours!!!!

Just a few pics...

Hello, it had been awhile since I've posted pictures on here, so I thought I would put up a few of him playing with his "baby gym" that his great grandma Mac got him. He loves it and has really started to be able to hit the objects, especially the ball, so thats hopefully a good sign:):)
He's 11 1/2 weeks in these pics.
