Weekend Review

Austin stayed with Grandma and Aunt B. while we went to St. Louis for my pre-op appointment on Friday. It looks like he had a good time!
He was knocked out when we picked him up!

He's still doing really well switching between a bottle and breastfeeding. Here's Grandpa Salger feeding him while we were at a wedding on Saturday night.

Sunday was his One Month Birthday! He's doing better in the bath. Although you can't really tell from these pictures!

The cutest little mad face!
Today we had his one month check up with Dr. Kellow. Everything went really well! He weighs 11lbs 5oz and is 24 3/4 inches long! He's in the 75 percentile for his weight and longer then 98% of the little boys his age. Maybe we have an Olympic basketball player on our hands! The doctor and nurse warned us about the next appointment. He'll get 4 vaccines -- 3 with a shot and one orally. We stocked up on Tylenol!

I read that babies will sleep 7 hours straight if they are over 11lbs. Last night we put him down at 10:30 and he didn't get up until 5:15! I hope this becomes a pattern!

4 Weeks!

I can't believe Austin is 4 weeks old today. He celebrated by going to Aunt B.'s for the first time. I also can't believe how fast he's growing. He's outgrown so many things just in the past few days! We tried to put this sleeper on him tonight...He had to go home naked because it wouldn't even snap shut! He decided he wanted to talk on the phone too! Such a sweet little boy!
He's very excited because he gets to spend the day with Grandma and Aunt B tomorrow. Mom and Dad have to go to Mom's pre-op appointment for her gallbladder surgery. I'm sure there won't be any spoiling going on!!

USA! USA!

We love watching the Olympics!

He wasn't too happy when Japan won something...
He had a rough day yesterday. He didn't sleep more then 20 minutes at a time all day long. He finally gave up around 10:30 last night.
The plus side is that he didn't wake up until 5:15!

Belly Time

Enjoying some belly time...He has done really well the past few nights. He goes to bed between 10 - 10:30, wakes up between 2:00 - 3:00, and then again between 6:00 - 7:00. It seems like he's super hungry every other day. Today would be one of those days! He wants to eat every 60 - 90 minutes. Last night he took almost 5oz from a bottle.

Little Lutheran Baby

Austin was baptized on Saturday night. He was a perfect little baby during church. After church his family helped him celebrate at our house. Here are some pictures from his special day...
