8 weeks old! and first shots...

So Austin is 8 weeks old and Joey and I had our 2nd anniversary today...Wow

time sure is flying!! Austin had to go get his first shots today, poor little baby.

He weighs 12 lbs 13 oz and was 22 1/2 inches long. For his weight he is in the

75th percentile and length is the 25th percentile. So basically he is a short, fat

baby! He is just doing perfect though, and the doctor was very impressed with how

happy and mellow he was while she was examining him. He had to get his

shots, and with the first one he didn't even cry! But then shot number two and three

he screamed his little head off. Poor little guy! It was hard to see him cry but

Joey came with us for support and he did make both of us feel better. He is a

very involved dad and Austin loves him so much. Sometimes I feel like all I am

is the milk factory because as soon as he sees dad or hears his voice he is so excited

to see him and starts smiling and talking and I'm like hey there! I've been with

you all day and you don't get that excited to see me! Oh well, I know he loves

me too but dad is definitely the highlight of his day.

He really is starting to smile a lot which is so fun!! He

is a little person now!

He just started sucking his thumb and we aren't sure if we should let him or

try to stop him. So far he doesn't do it very often but we will see...

He loves to talk and smile at his little stuffed animals

Silly little guy with his cousin's sunglasses on

Daddy giving Austin his first bottle...they were practicing to make sure

he will take the bottle from dad when I go back to work. And yes I'm

still breastfeeding I'm just going to pump at work and Joey can give him bottles.

It really is the healthiest thing for him and he does a really good job at it so I'm

going to try and do it for a year. 2 months down, 10 to go!
