A Letter To My 5 Month Old

Dear Austin,

Wow!!! Another month has flown by, can we please slow down time! We are now living in our new house and things are very exciting. You have your own room now, but still aren't sleeping in it. We are waiting for your furniture to come from Grandma Bev's house. Your getting to be such a big boy. Here are a few things that are going on with you.

• Still aren't sleeping!!!
• Started eating oatmeal and you LOVE it!!!
• You absolutely love your jumperoo
• Your really starting to move around more, you are rolling all over the place. We better start baby proofing.

I hear you waking up from your nap. I am sorry this letter is short, but just know that I love you very very much!!!

Love always,
Mommy

P.S.- Here is your 5 month picture

Christmas

This year we were fortunate enough to get to spend Christmas with both Michael's family and mine. My Dad, Mom, sister and brother all flew up to share in Austin's first Christmas. Not only was this Austin's first Christmas, it was Michael and I's first Christmas in our new house! I think Austin was a very good boy this year (although his sleeping habits could use a little work). Santa must have thought so too, because when we all woke up Christmas morning our little house was full of presents!!! Austin's big gift from Santa was a jumperoo, and boy does he love it!!

Austin's First Visit to Santa

We took Austin to see Santa for the first time, and he did great. I think he didn't really know what to think, but the picture came out so cute.
