Morning fun

Often times during the early morning hours, when Andrew and Kyle are still asleep, Austin and I get to have some mommy and me time. And because I am super obsessed with his cuteness, I can't help but take a million pictures of him. These were from today's morning photo shoot and were too fun not to share!

Three months old...already!

I can't believe that our little man is already three months old!! The time is just flying by. And boy have we been busy! When we had Andrew, we were literally housebound for what seemed like an eternity. We were first time parents and going out in public was a scary thing. I, in particular, was worried about "what will people think if my baby cries?" "did I pack everything I need?" "why is he crying...what am I doing wrong?" I was a mess until I learned that hey, babies cry! It's okay! And if I look a little out of sorts, well, if you have ever had a toddler and a newborn, you know that it comes with the territory. So alas, I have accepted that it is what it is. And truthfully, life has been so much easier going out and about and the days don't seem as long. 

So with this being said, we have been busy being busy. Just in this month alone, Austin has:
* Gone to Disneyland
* Gone to Sea World...twice
* Traveled up to northern California in Amador City for the Murphy wedding (and he did AH-MAZ-ING on the car ride up there and was quite a hit at the wedding too!)
* Been camping...twice
* Was the youngest state testing assistant in history (have I mentioned how much I LOVE my job!)

What he loves:
* Being chatty (I have NO IDEA where he got this from)
* Having his feet rubbed
* Cuddling with his big brother
* Smiling!! He is such a happy baby!
* Morning naps

What he dislikes:
* Tummy Time (dislike may be a bit of an understatement...he HATES it!)
* His car seat
* Bottles (we are attempting to bottle train him so that I can attend my meetings without always having him in tow and it is NOT going well! He just looks at Kyle like who are you fooling? Followed by a full blown melt down!) 
* Teething- I cannot believe that he is teething already! We are straight up drool central right now, with hands in the mouth and loving gum massages. How can this be...already?

The transition from one to two munchkins has not been as bad as I thought it would be. The only thing that's hard is getting out the door, especially in working around Austin's schedule. But overall, our family dynamic has changed for the better and he is such a little love! How did our family exist without this sweet boy? Only one more week left of school and then I play to fully love on this little boy and his big brother!





Happy three month birthday my sweet boy!!

And in the great debate of Austin looks nothing Andrew, I see SOOOO much similarity, especially at 3 months old. The Wallace genes must run pretty strong.
