The last 12 months with our little Austin have flown by. I was once told, "The days are long, but the years are short". Honestly, its the truth, it only feels like yesterday when we started this blog and only added simple blogs of us painting the baby room. Austin has had a busy year with all birthday parties and outings, to vacation, to teething, THEN, to learning that he'll be a big brother. Now that he can walk, i'm sure he'll be leading us on his many journeys.
Please enjoy the last few months with our little boy, Austin.
Enjoying his well-deserved first birthday cake, Happy 1st Birthday Austin!!! Afew videos from his Birthday Party.
Playing in the snow. Piano lessons with Uncle Eric. Afterset, for buddy Isaiah's birthday party. With buddy Landon, at the Gymboree Halloween Party. Mommy, BAT, and a pumpkin. With Grandma and Grandpa, at his favorite park. Austin, maybe next year he'll declare himself eligible for Bears spring training. Last few days of fall. With his fave parent. Happy(?), with the Lola's.
This past week, our little Austin surpassed 9 months. He is quickly crawling after our cat, he is able to pull himself up and over toys, and he EVEN popped his first tooth. Look out food, Austin is ready to eat you!!!! Since our last posting in May, we've been busy with Chicago outings, visits from out-of-town relatives, and beach vacations. From birthday parties to family gatherings, Austin has been pretty active. Mommy and Daddy have been trying to keep with him. And now onto the pix.....

We can't believe that our little boy Austin is already 23 weeks old, it just feels like 23 weeks ago we brought him home. At last weigh in he was 16.4 lbs. After certain diaper changes. its plus/minus 1/2 pound. His latest hobbies include coo'ing, eating rice cereal, and going to the park with Mommy. And sleeping, we can't forget about that one. For your viewing pleasure, I've included a few videos below. If you know our cat Millie, look for her response, when Austin laughs at her.
