So much to say


Surprise! This is Austin in the box that the computer came in.

He loves to stand next to anything and everything, and explore everything that he can.
I love my monkey.
This is the blessing outfit that Ben's Mom made that was too big for him, doesn't he look handsome in it?

The Boys taking a nap.

So many wonderful things have happened that I have been neglectful to post about.
  • Austin has 8 teeth now, 4 on top and 4 on bottom
  • He has been crawling for 1 and 1/2 months
  • Now he tries to stand on his own without holding on to anything
  • Sleeping through the night for a month now (about time sheesh!)
  • Loves to babble, says Dada but doesn't know what it means
  • We are his ultimate example, he likes to copy us. Just today I was putting lotion on my face and he did the same hand motions to his face and everything, it was so precious
Ben's shoulder is doing well after his surgery. He can take it out of the brace when he is home and can sleep in a vertical position. Ben's mom came and helped us and it was such a relief, thanks mom! Could not have survived so well with out you! Ben is really hyped about the elections so if any of you want to call and blab at him it would be welcomed.

I am feeling better, not throwing up anymore, which is wonderful. I do feel icky everyday, but that is gradually becoming better, I can at least get the house stuff done and not just lay on the couch like a blob. I think that after this baby comes I would like a full year of not being, or feeling prego. It is a blessing to be expecting, I am grateful everyday, but it will be a welcomed relief to not be for at least a little while.

Thanks for all those who participated in my random comment contest. While I enjoyed all of them I think that Ryan and Melissa's was the funniest, a little gross but funny.
"Never, ever, under any circumstance, take a sleeping pill and a laxative the same night."
That is some pretty sound advice.

What a big boy he's getting to be!!! Such a cutie! I love it. I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better. I think the no-prego for at least a year plan might be something to consider! ;) Good luck with everything... we need to get out to the west coast and visit one of these days!

Don't forget that he also said "cat" at my house the other day. That totally counts cause he said it twice to the cat. Kim dosnt want to go through all the childbirth stuff, so since Austin is so cute we want you guys to make all our babies for us. C'mon get to it ;)
