Our first Christmas with baby Austin! We made sure we stayed busy
We took a looong road trip to Michigan and Austin was surprisingly satisfied during the drive...until the sunset.
Austin got to meet his Great "Grams" Lamb

We saw lots of Robert's distant relatives from his mother and father's sides

It even snowed for us.
We stopped by my parent's house and visited for a few days
When we arrived back home, Christmas was upon us.
We got home on the 23rd, with lots of baking and shopping to be done.
We visited with Brian and Lisa Christmas Eve
Got up bright and early for our little family Christmas
Enjoyed a nice Christmas presentation at Church and then spent the afternoon and evening at the Lamb's for the family party.
One of my favorite traditions that Robert's parents have is giving a new ornament each year to each of their children representing something the family did.
These are the ornaments we got this year :)

We had a wonderful Christmas and especially enjoyed celebrating the birth of Christ on the Sabbath Day this year.
Austin is changing so much.. .... he cut his first two teeth the week before Christmas, he is laughing at everything, he loves when I sing 'The Itsy-Bitsy Spider', He loves playing with his daddy and snuggling me.
He is actually digressing with his sleep at night :P, waking up every two hours...growth spurt?
I think not! 
He loves playing with his stuffed monkey and stuffed elephant. And has been rolling onto his side, but just rolled from his tummy to his back today! Love my baby boy!

Sleep Deprivation!!!
Wow! Austin used to be such a great sleeper, but since he turned 3-months I am rethinking all the bragging about him sleeping so well...
...for example, last night he slept for 3 hours and then only for 1.5 hour increments!!! What is a girl to do?!?!? This has been going on for the past week and I am beat! Robert has finals this week so he has been studying like crazy, which means I have been on double mommy duty. Thursday evening cannot come soon enough, then he will be finished for the semester :) Don't get me wrong Austin is a total sweet heart and cries very rarely, even when he wakes up to eat he just whimpers. He just eats and goes right back to sleep, but he eats and eats and eats...he is waking up to do so every 1-2 hours and that is straight craziness. Just a few weeks ago he was sleeping for 4-6 hours at a time. I was told this was the result of his " 3-month growth spurt", if that is the case, how long does this growth spurt last typically? Are we talking a week (obviously not), or are we looking at the entire 3rd month?? I must "google" my concern.
I'm sure that I will soon look back and miss these silly concerns one day :D

November
So much has been going on since my last post...
He is holding his head up like a champ
He has the whole smiling thing down but not for the camera, of course... this is the closest i have gotten to a smile snap shot...
He loves taking a bath
we visited Santa at Bass Pro Shops
Mommy is being a big girl :P
I moved him from the play yard in our room to his crib in his room.
We all sleep much better now :D
(This pic was taken before we moved him into his room)
We are getting ready for Christmas now and I have vowed to post more often. Took a while for me to adjust to holding a baby so not much has been accomplished. Now he is 3-months old and able to entertain himself and not have to be held quite as much. Robert and I love to watch him...all the time pretty much, which is why I don't get much accomplished. I take waaay too many pictures and videos of his every move. If he has a slightly different grin or facial expression I try to capture it. If he's kicking, cooing and playing I try to capture it...you know, the whole first time parent thing.
This kid is just too cute!

Austin's Blessing
Baby Austin was blessed by is daddy on Sunday. Melanie and JT came from Phenix City and Robert's parents and siblings were all there. It was perfect! :) After the blessing we were going to have a picnic in the park but we got rained out. The next best thing, Grandma's! We went to Robert's mom and dad's house and ate bbq sandwiches and hot dogs. We only took one picture because I left the camera at the house... lame! But here were are, headed to church Sunday morning with Austin looking super handsome in his blessing outfit and Auburn booties, WAR EAGLE!!!
I love my boys!
