Mommy's Little Coworker

The snow forced me to work from home on Tuesday and Wednesday. While I love all of my real coworkers, I have one here at home that I can't pass up!

I must say I've never had a coworker throw his computer on the floor before!

Lookin' For Deals

Austin loves to play with the Aldi's ad each week. Last week he shopped for bathroom fixtures and grapefruits. Tonight he was picking out the best Super Bowl snacks and fleece sweatpants for Dad! It didn't have a chance!

So True

6 Month Check Up

Our 6 month check up with Dr. Kellow went really well. Even the shots! Here are Austin's 6 month stats:
Height: 28 1/2" ~ 95%
Weight: 20 lbs 13 oz ~ 90%
Head: 18" ~ 90%

He's gained 2 1/2 inches and over 2 lbs since the 4 month check-up! Time for convertible car seats!

We've been given the go ahead to try "baby food snacks" after he's tried most of the Stage 2 foods. No real table food until 9 months -- we'll see if we can hold out! He can also have watered down juice in a big boy cup!
Foods he's tried so far: carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, bananas, prunes, pears, applesauce, fruit medley, apple/vanilla/granola and apples/bananas/strawberries (Mom's favorite!).

We had to confess that we're still not rolling over. The Dr. said not to worry to much about it since he's already sitting up. Apparently a lot of babies skip rolling because they now have to spend so much time on their backs. Other accomplishments: passing toys between his hands, reaching for things, and starting to jibber-jabber.

Things we'll be looking for by the next appointment at nine months: babbling and pulling up!

Happy Half Birthday To Austin...

Jay surprised Austin with a piece of cake for his 1/2 birthday on Saturday night. He even stopped to get candles!

6 Months!

¡Hola amigos!

Austin quisiera agradecer su padrino y Julia por traerle este sombrero maravilloso de México. ¡Era tan dulce de ellos a pensar en él mientras que en su luna de miel! ¡Él lo ama tanto como él los ama!


(I'm 99% sure this says...Austin would like to thank his Godfather and Julia for bringing him this wonderful hat from Mexico. It was so sweet of them to think of him while on their honeymoon! He loves it as much as he love them!)

He Sits!

Austin started sitting on his own this past Sunday. We were all surprised and excited! Who needs to roll over when you can sit like a big boy?!?!?

Mr. & Mrs. Godfather - 01.03.09

Austin's Godfather and "Aunt" Julia were married a few weekends ago. We were so happy to help them celebrate. Everything was beautiful and we couldn't be more happy for them. We wish them both a lifetime of happiness! Here are a few pictures from their special day...
