Growing with Mr. Bear

Here is Austin "growing with Mr. Bear" at 1 month. I can't believe it's been a month...actually 5 weeks since he was born! Look at how much he's changed!

Do you think someone wanted a snack? This was the scene I came upon when I left Clayton alone in the kitchen for a minute.

Family pictures!

Austin had his first outing to BB's house. While there, we decided to attempt our first family photo of the five of us.

This can't help but make you smile...

Spring!

We finally had a really warm day when we could leave jackets inside. Hurray!The big kids really enjoyed playing outside. They ran around, collected pinecones, went down the slide (which of course Clayton tried to do with the big broom,) and drew with chalk.

Even the little man made it outside. Here he is inside doing tummy time.

Poor little thing has had a terrible case of baby acne, but more pictures of him will be posted once it is cleared up!

Happy Easter!

Attempting to get a good shot of all three...hmmm...maybe someday...

Thank you BB for taking me on a special date to see Mary Poppins. I loved it!!!!

Fat pants!

Today is a good day. I was able to get into my "fat pants"! Yes, normally a girl does not celebrate when she has put on some lbs and must wear the dreaded fat pants. However, when you are moving from MATERNITY pants to fat pants, they seem like a reward. No elastic waist. No maternity band. No drawstring. Hurray! Sure, it will be quite a while before I fit into my regular pants, but for now I am happily enjoying regular button-front pants a size or 2 larger!

Austin Michael

You forget how snuggly and cuddly newborn babies are. There is nothing sweeter than watching him sleep on my chest, as comfy as can be.

The boy and his broom

My funny little bug...he has fascinations with such odd things. He is absolutely wacko over brooms. He flips out with excitement every time he sees one in a book. If we even go near the garage (which is where he have ours), he begs for me to get it for him. He loves to drag it around. Here he is going on a walk with BB and a broom.
