Happy Birthday Austin!

My baby is three today! Austin was born after 24 hours of tough labor at 9pm and by the end, I was so tired, I just had them take him to clean him off. I asked Pete, "Does he look like Parker?" When he said "no!", that was when I had beckoned him over to me. haha. My little mini-me. He was born with a twinkle in his eye and had a patient and cheerful demeanor (until the challenges of the 2's hit). We just love him so much and are so glad he's part of our family. I love how he uses people's names when he talks to them, how he looks up to Parker, how he will eat just about anything, how he cuddles with me. He's just so sweet. This morning he woke up saying, "I'm three! Now I'm going to be the big brother!" And he's going to be an awesome one when the time comes. Happy birthday Austin. Your Dad and I love you so much and know you are going to do great things.
