6 Weeks Old

All smiles at 6 weeks! Check out my dimple...cute huh?

Six weeks already? Really? Can't he just be 3 weeks old? It's going by so fast! Austin has grown like a weed over the past couple of weeks. He is too big for most of his newborn clothes and even a few 0-3 month sleepers are getting too short for him. Hopefully he'll have his Daddy's long torso and legs. He started smiling in earnest this week, and it's so wonderful to see his toothy grin (and, no, it's not just gas). He especially likes to smile for Brent and Brenna.

Austin is doing a good job of holding up his head. We really have to be aware when we hold him on our shoulders now. He likes to hold his head up and push back...scary. His neck muscles are strong enough to hold his head up for several seconds when he's on his tummy.

Brent has developed the magic touch when it comes to sleeping. The past couple of nights Brent has rocked him to sleep and he's slept for up to 4 hours (yes, Austin not Brent)! We'll take every precious minute we can get!
Sitting with big sister. He looks so much older here.

I'm a happy baby and now I can show it!

Feel the burn...one thousand one, one thousand two.
Holding up your head is hard work, but I'm doing it!

It's hard work being a Longhorn fan
especially when they lose in the final minutes in the NCAA tourney.

He just keeps getting cuter and cuter. I love the picture of him and Brenna together. He does look older there.

See you in a little over a month.

Lots of love, hugs & kisses,
Auntie Amie
