December 2008 Here is a THREE MONTH update! Whew! Can't believe it. Time flies. December 11: Today Austin is three months old! He is becoming more and more aware each day. He loves to stare at Mommy and Daddy right in the eyes, and even laughs out loud a few times a day. His smiles are amazing and of course melt our hearts. He especially likes it when Daddy throws him up in the air (he squeals at this)! His favourite toys right now are his hands (he loves putting them together and watching them as they move), Tom the lion (that sings -- thanks Jamie and Allison!) and his Jungle chair mobile (one of our many hand-me-downs from Bella). His neck is really strong and he has tried out the Bumbo but doesn't really like it just yet. He loves to sit on the potty, however (with support). His sleeping has been going really well and we have been studying a couple of different books, trying to figure out what works best for him. Usually once he cuddles up with Lambert (the lamb) on one side and Gipper (the frog) on the other, and his trusty suckie (or his hand) in his mouth, he is asleep almost instantly. We know we're really lucky and we're taking advantage of his portability and getting some evenings away from home with him. We are all really excited about our first Christmas with Austin!
