4 weeks!!

On Friday, our Austin will be 1 month old!  He has gotten so much bigger.  He is still a cuddle bug and loves to lay on our chest scrunched up like a small frog!  He tries so hard to get as close to your neck as possible.  Pushing with his legs, he inches up.  That is how we think he rubbed the front part of his hair off.  He is going a little bald, but is still a cutie pie in my book.  He has squishy lips when he sleeps.  Austin is getting better and better with his neck control. He finally follows us with his eyes as we move from him.  :)  He loves to listen to music and stare at lights.  He also really likes mirrors.

This week has been really busy.  We celebrated Father's Day early because Scott wanted to build a bunny hutch and I had gotten him a circular saw.  I wanted him to be able to use his new toy on his first big lumber project at our house.  We also wanted to celebrate early because on Saturday, Austin will be baptized in Grand Rapids.  This will be his first big trip!  Lots of people are waiting to meet our little guy or want to see him again and hold him again of course. Don't worry, Austin made Daddy some other things to give Daddy on the actual Father's Day!  I can't believe Scott is a Daddy.  He is a great one! Here are some pictures of Scott on "Father's Day":

Here is the saw actually being used!  Scott's parents came down for the day to help with the bunny hutch and to fix the baptism outfit.  Austin was hungry the whole time, so I was not as social as I would have liked... but he is a growing boy trying to get tall like his Daddy!  

 Daddy practicing safety! :)

Austin came to school with Mommy all week.  He was a real trooper as I cleaned and straightened my room out for summer.  "Auntie" Liz watched him and even changed some diapers!  It was really helpful as I got a lot of work done.  My classroom is all closed up for the summer and ready to be decorated for next year.  I always get excited for a new year.  I am still thinking of a new theme... I'm thinking about 2nd Grade Rocks with a rockstar theme or a Hollywood theme.  I have time to make my decision.  :)  

What a trooper!  

Here is to a great summer!  Scott and I are ready to embark on our journey of being new parents!  We have enjoyed the ride so far.
