Austin - 4 weeks

Austin has displayed the dimple in his left cheek (to match Daddy's) as he smiled for the first time today. Actually, he has smiled a few times today. So far, his smile is only brought on by Mommy laughing (and he can tell the difference between a fake laugh and a real laugh).

We decided to take a trip to visit Austin's Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Dykhouse today. Great Grandpa has not been feeling well and, therefore, was unable to make it to the hospital or to the house to visit. Grammy and Uncle Jared went with us and "Auntie Een" (Austin's Great Aunt Ileen) met us there.

This was also the same day as the Lowell High School Prom. Uncle Nick's prom date (Calla) is from another town and had to travel a ways to get to the house, so she planned to get ready at the house. We went over there early so that there was some adult supervision until Grammy could get out of work. We also took a bunch of pictures. After all of the prom-goers left, that is when we made the trip to Grant.

My cousin Laurie came to meet Austin and visit for the first time. Austin definitely liked cuddling up with Laurie.

When Austin is laying on our chests or when he is being burped over the shoulder, he tends to curl up his butt. So it is only fitting that he have some accessorizing on that cute butt. The froggy outfit is from Andy and Lindy (Andy works with Daddy).

Look! Austin made it onto Main Street in Lowell via a large picture displayed in Modern Photographics' front window.
