Growing so big!

Austin and mommy went to the doctor on Tuesday for a weight check. Our little man weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces. He has gained almost 2 pounds since he was born. John and I said it is no wonder our backs hurt sometimes. He has finally decided eating is a good thing and enjoys his cuddle time with mommy while feeding. Austin is beginning to smile more and more when we play. He loves to look at himself in the mirror and make noises.

If you haven't heard the wonderful news, Pastor McFarland agreed to return to Texas to officiate the Celebration of Baptism for our little bundle of joy. The service is scheduled for Saturday, February 23, at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church. John and I are thrilled that Pastor (who also married us) will be baptizing our first child!

Changing every day~

Here are some more pictures of Austin as he is changing so much each day. He smiles and talks to us when he is awake. Parenthood is great - we couldn't enjoy it more. Mommy went for her doctor appointment yesterday and all is well. Everyone at the office commented on how cute Austin is. We are just blessed that they took such good care of mommy and Austin.

Here are a couple hospital pictures. It already seems like so long ago.

Our friends Michael & Melissa had their precious baby boy Jan. 1, 2008 at 12:39 am in San Antonio. He weighed 5 lbs 5 oz and was 18 1/2 inches. Ryan was the first 2008 baby born at their hospital, but not the first in San Antonio. Dad, Mom, and Ryan are all doing great. John is so excited that Austin & Ryan can visit about future hot rods!

Austin is 1 month old today!

My how time flies by...
Our little man is a month old today. He has already changed so much. Daddy and mommy are enjoying every minute. Daddy hates to leave the house to go to work and can't wait to get home in the mornings and cuddle with his son. Austin went to the doctor this morning for a weight check - now 8 lbs 8 oz. That made the nurse very happy. He gained 19 oz in the past week and a half. So for now mommy will keep pumping and feeding him the breast milk in a bottle. Not the easiest way, but when you have a lazy little eater you do what is best for him. We will keep working on breastfeeding and maybe Austin will figure out that option is pretty good too.
