Hanging with Cousin Paul is fun!

Happy Birthday Uncle Joel!!

A new experience...

So tonight, since our little man is now 6 months old, we tried cereal for the 1st time!! And only as in Austin fashion, he enjoyed every minute of it although you can't tell necessarily from this picture, but he never once fused! Of course, it was everywhere too!!

I wanted to include a few more pics from last month...look at Austin look at that cake. I'm not sure who was more excited...me or him!

Aunt Juju and Uncle Ray-Ray...what a fun visit!

A month in review....

It's hard to believe our little man is 6 months old!! I think I can speak for both Rob and I when I say, I never knew I could love someone so much! It is amazing the joy Austin brings into our lives and I thank God for blessing us with him each day!!

I am sorry I haven't been good at posting for the last month...I have been transitioning into being somewhat of a working mom! I am so thankful for the work schedule I have and that I am only away from our little man 2 1/2 days a week! I said to Rob, I feel like I am more lazy as a mom, but he corrected me and told me that my priorities are just different! I come home from work and all I want to do is hang out with the little monkey! Today, I just come home and played with Austin until Rob got home!! Luckily I had something I could just throw in the oven!

Austin had a great September...he helped both Uncle Ben celebrate is 30th on the 1st and mine on the 13th! Austin was VERY interested in my cake and he helped me blow out the birthday candles!! Daddy got to go to MY GYM with us for the first time. Our new friends Reece and Issac were born. And of course, it was the start of Bronco season!! Aunt Juju and Uncle Ray-Ray (Julie and Ray Sykes, Austin's godparents) also came to visit for a night and we had a GREAT time!

Helping Uncle Ben celebrate his 30th!!

Having our first driving lesson...pulling the car into the garage!

Chilling with Daddy!

Mommy's 30th

"It's a very important day in your life..."

"It's your first NFL season." Those were close to the words I heard come out of Rob's mouth when talking to Austin the other night. Oh well, I guess it could be worse!! And of course, I think they are too cute together, ready to cheer on the Broncos! Although Austin barely made it to kick-off!

So I can't decide...

So I started this blog obviously before Austin was born...I just can't decide which one to do -- either this blog or the Shutterfly one. The great thing about the Shutterfly one is I can put up a link to all of Austin's pictures but this one makes it easier to blog and put a couple of pictures up. I guess I'll do both and you can go to whichever you want!

We are so blessed!

Daddy and our friend, Jason finished up painting last week!! Yes, they painted the stripes -- it's not wallpaper!! Nicole, their daughter Nyah, and I hung out while the boys painted! Thanks for the help -- we appreicate it and the room looks fantastic!

We just had another shower yesterday and we are so blessed to have such wonderful, loving, and supportive friends!! Thank you to everyone!! We are looking forward to having the furniture delivered tomorrow and then setting up the nursery! I am very excited to have spring break this week and really be able to get some stuff done...although tiredness is setting in more and more.... It's hard to believe we have less than 4 weeks to go!!!

Check out our maternity pics...

We took maternity pictures last week in Louisville! Rob was such a good sport as it was something that I really wanted to do!! You can check them out at http://www.elcphoto.com/blog/. It's hard to believe we are only 4 1/2 weeks away. Daddy has been working hard on the little one's room! Hopefully we'll have the furniture delivered next week when I am on spring break so I can get it all set up!!
