1 month old!

Well Austin is 1 month old today!  Time is sure flying by, but I am enjoying every minute of it.  I love to cuddle with my son every day!  It is so much fun to see him grow.  He is moving more and more each day.  Austin is also grinning more and more.  He follows us and really focuses on us now.  His appointment is next Friday so it will be interesting to know his stats.  We did a couple of our own measurements.  He weighs about 10 pounds and is 23 1/2 inches long!  We'll see how accurate we are.  :)

Tomorrow, we have Austin's baptism so we are making our first road trip to Grand Rapids. I am excited to see how Austin does in the car for that amount of time.  It is a mini trial run for our vacation up north for the 4th of July.  I am so excited to go on a vacation!

We were all ready and the car loaded up when we realized that the cat couldn't be found anywhere!!!  In a moment of panic, we had thought that he had escaped outside while we were bringing loads of stuff out to the car.  We definitely need a bigger vehicle because we travel with even more stuff now that we have Austin!  So we were desperately using all of our tricks to get Simba to come out of hiding... Pinky and food! Scott thought he had heard Simba's collar so we were super quiet!  Sure enough we heard his collar in the guest room.  The only problem was we couldn't see Simba anywhere!  Scott looked under the bed... Simba wasn't there.  Scott saw some movement when he looked up.  Simba was IN the box spring!  There was a hole in the bottom and good ole Simba crawled in and had some fun.  Of course he would not come out the easy way!  Scott had to reach into the hole and grab him.  It is true Holly & Scott fashion for our weekend to start this way! :)  Then we were off to Grand Rapids... hopefully our trip is slightly smoother.  I do feel bad for Mickey who has lost a lot of "real estate" in the car.  Instead of a full seat, he gets 1/3 of his space.  Oh little brothers!
