7 weeks!

Today Austin is 7 weeks old. It's hard to believe that he will be 2 months old next week. Our baby boy is growing up so fast.

He has been doing great!
Austin likes:
-for us to hold him face forward so he can see exactly what is going on in the world around him.
-laying on his back as we huddle around him watching him kick and swing his arms around as he smiles and talks to us. (We love hearing his little voice as it changes in pitch and tone with every kick.)
-staring at the Christmas lights on both our tree and garland over our fireplace.
-for us to walk him around the house, talking softly into his ear (especially with daddy).
-bath time... except for having water poured over his head.
-laying in his swing & staring at himself in the mirror attached to the mobile.
-LOVES eating!
-car rides
-laying on his daddy's chest.
-staring into his mommy's eyes.
-smiling at his daddy.
........ and the list goes on!

Austin is absolutely adorable. I daily stand amazed at the fact that he is my son! I am in awe of his beauty. God is so good! What a blessing it is to have a child. I am so thankful for our gift from God.

Here are some recent pictures of our precious baby!

p.s.
I am having minor surgery on Thursday. During the pregnancy I developed an umbilical hernia and now it needs to be repaired. My ob-gyn referred me to a general surgeon and was told that it should be taken care of as soon as possible. I am scheduled for surgery at 4pm, Thursday, Dec. 11th. Please keep me in your prayers, as well as the doctor who will perform the procedure. I am looking forward to having my belly button return to its pre-pregnancy form.
