Austyn's first foods!

On Monday of last week, Austyn and I headed to Mary Bridge for a check up with Dr. Yuwono, Austyn's GI specialist. After checking her over, Dr. Yuwono said that she thought it was time for us to start baby juices and rice cereal. So on Tuesday the 12th, we went for it! Austyn was a little trooper and did really well. She was unsure about the apple juice at first, but then cried when her first 2 oz bottle was gone! She's gonna love food, just like her mom! Grandma Byrd happened to be at our house and got in on all the action too...it was pretty fun for everyone!

This stuff is sour

Here we go...

More please!

Cade and Colby are 3!!

Today we headed up to Buckley for some birthday fun at Maris Farms pumpkin patch. Cade and Colby were celebrating their 3rd birthday with some fall fun! Austyn can't exactly "enjoy" all that Maris Farms has to offer, so she spent her day in the front pack watching. I had a blast watching all the kiddos running around...they are all getting so big. It seems like not too long ago that we were going to the pumpkin patch without ANY kids and now we have a combined total of 9 kids and 1 on the way...5 girls and 4 boys with 1 more boy coming soon!! Next year we will have a little walker to chase after, so I enjoyed just watching and taking lot's of pictures this year!

The Little Nugget

I thought it was time for an Austyn update. She is getting bigger by the second, although still not too big. She is right around the 50th percentile for height and weight. She's laughing, "talking," and exploring the world as best she can. She recently found her feet, so changing her diaper can be a bit challenging, but we're getting the hang of it. She never sleeps through the night...boo, but her reflux is way better...yay! We just feel so blessed to have such a happy, healthy, loveable little girl. We never imagined we could love her so much!

Austyn's hair is a bit of a household joke...she looks like Conan Obrian's love child from the front, with a little bit of a bald spot, covered up by wildly tangled, directional challenged patches in the back. I'm praying it improves with time.

Those big eyes are gonna get her out of some trouble one of these days

We can never have enough headbands
