Happy Easter!






It’s been a busy past few weeks. We weighed Austin at 3 months at my parents house and he weighed 16 pounds and is 25 inches long. Our baby is growing like crazy! I can’t believe he’s now 3 ½ months old. I think he’s changed the most in the past two weeks – he is now smiling at you when you do something funny and real laughing J He’s grabbing toys and holding onto them. He grabs the toy frog on the bouncer and pulls it to make noise. He looks at books as I’m reading them. He still rolls to both of his sides, but he doesn’t roll over yet! He sleeps at least 8 hours every night, if not 9-11!! Def. mine and Rob’s kid. He’s starting to like the jumper thingy and exersauser. He’s now reacting to Tally, which is fun… and gross! He started open mouth smiling when tally was licking him and tally licked his mouth- yuck! Austin started laughing and thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

Last weekend Austin and I went to paint pottery with Laura D and Joy. We made Grandma a mothers day present. We had the best time!! This weekend was Easter weekend – we went to Dahlonega and had a picnic at the park. Daddy bought Austin a Spiderman fishing pole, but it was way too cold to go fishing. Maybe next time! Then on Sunday we went to church and then the whole family went back to our house and had a big lunch. We played games and painted Easter eggs. It was so much fun hanging out with everyone J We joined Smoke Rise Baptist Church yesterday, we are really excited about this. The people in our Sunday school class are very nice and we love the pastor and the worship. We also LOVE the nursery and feel very comfortable leaving Austin there. And the nursery people love Austin. There are a few people In our SS class that either just had babies or are ab to have babies.

Austin started watching tv a few days ago!! We put Bob the bulder on while he was laying in our bed in the morning, and he just stared at it for 15 minutes. Then, we were watching a movie of Liam on the computer and he just sat and watched it! And the best news we’ve heard yet this week… as many of you may know, my parents are going to Australia for the month of July, which we are very excited ab, but we are trying to find people to help watch Austin, since I’m working and will be in school and we aren’t quite sure of Rob’s work schedule. Well, my Aunt Ellen said that she would come help out for the first two weeks of July. We are so relieved that she’s coming to help and are excited that she is going to get the chance to get to know Austin!! Thanks Ellen!!!!!

Hope everyone had a great Easter. Check out our new photos and videos of Austin!!!
