6 months!

Cheeky little boy!

I'm getting so big Mama!!

Well 6 months has come and gone and our sweet little babe just does not stop growing! The change between 5 months and 6 months has been such a big one! Little A is learning new noises (that high pitched squeal that only dogs can hear) and is turning into a very busy little guy.  His latest thing is panting like a dog (maybe been watching the pups a little too much!?). Our little one is sitting up on his own and grabbing anything in sight! He's not mobile yet but I am SO okay with that as it is nice to be able to plop him down with his toys and know he's certainly not going anywhere! Austin loves butternut squash and cauliflower and is also a huge fan of prunes! (little old person in the making hehe).  I just love to have him with me wherever I go and have yet to leave him longer than two hours with anyone (and that was only once while I went to the dentist...it was awful and I don't think I'll do that again for a while!). I think it is just so special and such a joy to have this little one with us wherever we go so that we can watch him learn and grow and we don't miss out on a single thing.

We have lots to look forward to in the coming weeks. The most important thing being a long overdue visit to Grandma and Gramps' in the Cariboo.  How exciting for Austin as he has not seen his grandparents since early July. Boy will they be surprised how much he has changed! Thank goodness for things like facetime and skype so that we can keep in contact with them often.  Also on the horizon is Austin's first holiday; Thanksgiving! That too will be spent in the Cariboo with Grandma and Gramps and I can't wait for Austin to enjoy his first holiday with family. What a lucky little guy.

Also, Austin's baptism will be sometime in the next month or two. We are meeting with the pastor at the church down the road from us this week and we are excited for this celebration. We think it is so important to teach your children about Christ (even if you do not attend church!), faith, and where we all come from. I remember reading bible stories with my own mama and I'm excited to do the same with Austin!

What a joy and blessing children are. We are so lucky and blessed to have such a healthy, happy little guy and could not be happier. Heres to the next six months baby Austin! Your Mama and Daddy love you so much!
