Is it really true, that we have a FOUR year old?!?! Sometimes it seems like it was just the other day that we brought this chunky monkey home from the hospital. (Look at how big that noggin is!! Certainly glad I had a c-section!)
But here we are four years later, and this kid seriously acts like he's 10 years old or something. But then when he wants me to hold him and give him kisses, I know he'll always be my baby; a momma's boy for sure. :) This past year he has changed so much. He's independent, hard-headed, stubborn, funny, and sweet, all at the same time. And he has for sure turned into one of the best big brothers ever.
Today, we treated Austin to a full day of fun for his birthday (well, minus the shots he got at the Dr. this morning!). We started out with pancakes at McDonald's, which is his absolute favorite. He weighed in at the doc's office at 34.9lbs. (75%) and was 39" tall (25%); no surprise here. :) After getting poked at the pediatrician's office a few times, we headed over to Shennaniganz for some bowling and games. Then we ventured over to the movies. He chose to see Hotel Transylvania, and it was pretty cute. Of course he insisted on popcorn, an Icee, and gummy bears. :) Then we all gathered with the fam for a Mexican dinner and then to Chuck E. Cheese for more games. Geez! What an exhausting, but fun day!
I love this kid to pieces and can't remember life without him in it. Although I don't have favorites, I still think that he and I share a special bond. We waited what seemed like forever before getting pregnant with him, and he was the first to make me a mother.

Waiting at the Dr.'s office for shots! :(
Our super-bowler!
We had his birthday party this past weekend and it was a blast. I'll blog about that in a few days. But I've got a big day tomorrow, with my surgery, so I need to get some sleep!
