our 3 greatest blessings

our 3 greatest blessings!

8 weeks old

Today our little guy is 8 weeks old. We are amazed each day how strong he is and how big he is. Last appointment he was 12 lbs 5 oz.. We don't think he is going to shrink.. His newborn jammies are too small and he has graduated to some of his 3-6 month clothes. At this rate who knows what he will weigh when we bless him in April. We decided to wait to bless him so Aaron's parents can be here. They are being released from their mission in Russia at the end of March. In Grandma Page's last email she said she can't wait to get her hands on him!

Tough Little Guy

This is the 1st of many pictures that I have taken of Austin where he is trying to hold his head up.. This picture was taken on Christmas Eve which made him about 3 1/2 weeks. I thank my Father in Heaven every day for such a healthy baby. We have been very fortunate that we have not had to deal with any major health issues. Last Sunday he was showing signs of RSV which scared me to death. We called his doctor and she told us to bring him right in...yes, that was scary too--- Luckily , Austin was just suffering from a little cold so we were very fortunate.. MAN , I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY!!

Love

I

never knew how much I could love someone. When I married Aaron I experienced a new kind of love and didn't think that I could ever love anything more. Each day I grow to love Aaron more and more . I can't imagine life without him. When we had Austin I learned a whole new kind of love. Aaron and I will just look at Austin and realize how blessed we are to have him in our lives. This experience has given me a whole new appreciation for my birth mother. I have a hard time being away from Austin while I am in the bathtub, I don't know what it would be like to have to not see him every second of the day.

People tell you that motherhood changes you, I never knew it would be like this. I wouldn't give this up for anything. There are a few things I have had to give up like a doing my hair and make up on a daily basis, but I when I realize that Austin is totally dependant on me, I don't mind slacking in my appearance. My sweet husband tells me I look good everyday... sometimes I know he is stretching the truth but it is sweet of him to say it.

Our Amazing little Guy

This is our little Guitar Hero! We couldn't resist taking a picture. He has so many cousins that want to hold him it is rare that someone isn't holding him. :)
