Austin is growing up so fast!

Austin has been changing fast in the last week. Since last Saturday, he pretty much sleeps through the night. He'll sleep for about 7 straight hours, he eats and then goes back to bed for another 3 or 4 hours. And just in time because I was about to go insane! No more waking up every 2 or 3 hours!!!!

He wore tennis shoes for the first time last night, but he was pretty quick to kick them off. Probably one of the coolest changes - he laughs now! This morning his dad was laying in bed playing with him. He tickled Austin and Austin let out a few laughs. I was so excited. He's been smiling for about a month now, but no laughing. It was so cool to hear him laugh. He's really growing up fast!

First Plane Trip

Austin on his first plane trip. We went to go visit Popsy in Vermont after he had back surgery.

It was in the 30s and 40s up there, so we got Austin this little bear suit to make sure he was warm. I probably should have got him one size bigger. I think he's going to outgrow it soon.

Superbaby and Popsy.

Finally, smiling

Austin is 7 weeks old!

Finally, Austin is smiling, and it's not gas! He's so sweet.

For about the past week he's been sleeping for about 4 hours at a time at night. I'm really hoping that by about 3 months he'll be sleeping through the night. Please!

First Tailgate

Austin went to his first UGA tailgate. It was the GA vs. LSU game. I think he had a pretty good time. He got a lot of attention and everyone wanted to hold him. I doubt we'll make it to another game this year, though.

Austin is 5 weeks old!

Austin is 5 weeks old now. His neck has gotten a lot stronger, he can hold his wobbly little head up on his own for a little while and he's staying awake a lot longer than he was in the first couple of weeks. For the most part, he's a good little boy, but if he's awake then he wants to be held ALL the TIME. It's making it really hard for me to get anything done. The last time we went to the pediatrician he was up to 9 lbs 4 oz and was 22 inches long. He's waking up about every 3 or 4 hours at night. Sometimes every 2 hours. I can't remember the last time I slept for 6 straight hours... I can't wait for that day.
