Five years ago TODAY, my sweet Austin was born!! He weighed 7 lbs, 11oz, and he was 21 1/2" long. He started out with the same red hair he has today, just not as much (of course!) He was such a good baby- even from the very beginning! I didn't hear him cry until he was 2 weeks old- and if he ever fussed all you had to do was pick him up and he would be happy! He slept through the night at 3 months old and has always been a good sleeper! He likes to sleep in sometimes until noon! He's always been a pretty mild boy- he's very polite and positive- and respectful for the most part! He is a fabulous big brother! He has always been such a good helper and he's always giving! He puts up with a lot from Cade- but he's learning how to get back at him a little!
Last night Austin woke up with growing pains in his legs- and he said, "I must be turning five tomorrow because my legs are growing!"
Happy Fifth birthday austin! We love you so much and are so lucky to have you in our family!
Things we love about Austin:
I love how you get shy when someone tells you that you have "beautiful red hair"
and how you think your hair is "brown, not red"
I love how you LOVE rubbing babies heads...with or without hair- you love to rub them
how you will entertain yourself for hours while i nap with cade and dax
you are very obedient and always try to do what's right- for the most part!
