finally, an Update

Sorry I haven't posted in a month. Our internet has been acting up and every time I try to load pictures it never works. So hopefully the pictures will work this time. If not then just words will have to do. School is going well. I really love my confectionary and cake decorating classes. Jeff watches Austin while I am in class. Austin hasn't gained any weight but he has gotten longer. We started him on rice cereal and he loves it! He tried some green beans too and seemed to tolerate them as well. He is teething so he bites and sucks on everything. And I have to keep a bib on him because he is constantly drooling. He laughs and smiles a lot and he still keeps his eyes wide open. He is starting to scooch when he is on the ground. No crawling yet though. He is doing better sitting up too. He is a sweet heart.

Finger Sucker

Austin has started sucking his fingers. He actually prefers it over his bink now. I have tried to take his hands out of his mouth and put his bink in but he just pulls it out again and then tries to stick his hands in his mouth. He moves them around until he gets two fingers in place. Oh well at least he is only four months instead of 12 years old. I'm sure I can break him of the habbit before pre-school.

So many pictures so little time

This year we got to spend a couple weeks in Ontario for the holidays. It was a lot of fun and we got to stay in the house we rented while we did our internships last winter. A lot of Jeff's family was able to visit. There were three babies and two toddlers at one point at Patty and Clint's house. And there was only one bathroom because Jeff was remodeling and tiling their other bathroom. I'll post pictures when it is finished. Here are some pictures from our visit.

PJs

The Sheffields gave us a bag of cloths when Austin was born. These Pjs were in it and I love them. They look like long underwear. He is just such a cutie in them and I think they make him look longer.

Running

Jeff started running and he decided to take Austin with him. So I got him all bundled up and gave him his bink and they were off. Jeff said he fell asleep within minutes so I guess he liked it. It is a little too cold now for him to go out with Jeff on his runs. I was excited for him to wear the hat I made for him.

3 months old

Austin turned three months old on Friday. He is getting so big. He is too big for the cute shoes my friend Erin got for him. I told Jeff I was sad he was getting older and couldn't fit into his darling shoes and he asked me if I would rather him fit into those shoes or sleep through the night. He made a good point. Austin has been sleeping really good the past week which is great timing for all my big projects that are due Wednesday.

He found his hand

Austin has found his hand. You can see him looking right at it and then he turns it and puts it in his mouth. He has been doing this a lot. I don't think it has replaced his bink though, he is totally a binki boy.
