How our little man has changed...

It's still amazing to us how fast our little man has grown and how he changes! Austin was born on the Rockies opening day in St. Louis. On Friday after he was born, it was their home opener here in Denver so we put him in a 6/9 month jacket. Well, today, I put him in the same jacket and had him hold the same baseball...needless to say, he's grown into a little bit and he was certainly more interested in the baseball!! And don't worry, I've changed the sheets in last 6 months :)







One BIG pumpkin

On Monday night, we headed over to Jason, Nicole, Nyah, and Reece's for dinner! They gave Austin a pumpkin which I think was bigger than both Nyah and Austin put together!!! Nyah was so proud of "Baby Austin's" pumpkin! THANKS!!!!




Estes weekend getaway!

Austin and I headed to Estes last weekend. We stayed with my parents (Grandma and Grandpa Leaycraft) Friday and Saturday night since Rob was working. It was nice to have a couple of extra sets of hands during the weekend and I was even able to get a pedicure which was FABULOUS!!




On Saturday morning after getting up, Austin and I played in bed...I certainly enjoy my weekends with him especially after working all day Friday!


Austin practiced his piano skills with Grandma while we were there...I am afraid his piano may not be quite as fun anymore!! He helped Grandma practice for church on Sunday (she plays for Sunday service at the YMCA). The first time he hit the keys, he looked around like he had done something wrong -- we just clapped and he went right back to it!


We went to the Dunraven on Saturday night...my favorite place to eat when in Estes. It was Austin's first trip. He sat in the high chair and was such a big boy! He was so good while we were there...just playing and hanging out!


Grandpa took Austin up for kids church on Sunday...the theme was butterflies! Bill, the pastor who married us and baptized Austin, had special butterfly cookies so Grandpa ate Austin's!




Some random pics...

We've been taking Austin to MY GYM for about two months...he loves the gym and gets so excited! I couldn't resist this picture in the balls last week! We're taking a couple of weeks off since we're going to Florida for Rob's golf tournament but we'll be headed back when we're home!


Austin is rolling himself all over the place when he wants something!! No, he's not crawling and we're not in any hurry for him too either! Anyway, like a typical man, he found the DVR last week...Daddy came home from getting coffee and wasn't so excited about it. Austin even managed to turn the stereo system on....



Austin likes to help out with the laundry...Daddy's a little more brave than I am but Austin likes the ride!!

One tired little man...

I think these are some of my favorite moments with Austin. He is SUCH a sweetheart and so much fun...but there is something about when he falls asleep and is OUT!! I love cuddling which probably has something to do with it. On both Friday night and tonight he had those times which you can see in the pics...

Daddy taking Austin up to bed...our little Bronco man!

Jail break...we guess Austin was trying to escape but got tired in the process :)

I love my family!

It was Grandma Leaycraft's Friday to watch Austin and after they picked me up at school, we stopped by work to see Daddy!! Mmm, I love golf balls.

Hanging out with Grandma is lots of fun!


I helped Austin find Daddy's spiky hair...he had lots of fun trying to fix it himself. Maybe he can help Daddy get ready in the mornings now! Austin's hair is getting long enough that we maybe be able to start spiking his soon too!!

Austin likes football...especially the Broncos! Grandma Hunt is helping him figure out the game!

So many fun things!!

Last Thursday was a big day for the little man! We went to Austin's 6 month appointment...he's 17 lbs 9 oz and 26.5 inches long. Afterward we headed to the zoo to meet Nicole, Nyah, and Reece, friends of ours. I love the picture above...all tired out!

After the zoo, we headed over to the Links to see Daddy after their company tournament!!!
On Sunday, my mom and I did the Race for the Cure...it's our third year doing it. It's crazy to think how much life has changed since we did it last year. Last night we tried peas for the first time...we've been trying to figure out the best way to get the little man to eat...sometimes he's all about it and sometimes, well, more ends up everywhere else than in his belly!! He hasn't fussed once about it though...just "blows bubbles" to get it out!!
