Adjusting to two

Well life is starting to get a little more back to normal. I am adjusting to having another kid and I think Bailee is getting used to a brother and having to share my attention. Bailee really is sweet with Austin and I love watching her with him. When he starts crying she immediately says, "Mom, Austin needs his binkie." She is such a huge help to me! She really is my sweetie and a great big sister :)
Eric brought home a t-ball set and this is the first time Bailee played with it. She liked hitting the ball with the bat but I think she likes just doing whatever she wants with it rather than how it is supposed to be played with. :)
Newest picture of Austin. I realized that I didn't post his newborn stats on my last post so here they are...7 lbs 7 oz. and 19 in. long. He also had his 1 month check up yesterday and those stats are: 8 lbs 11 oz. and 21 1/2 in. long. He sure is growing but that doesn't surprise me with how much he eats!

And here is Austin's club foot. I'll have to take a closer picture of his toes sometime because they are freakishly long! Eric has extremely long toes so he gets it from him but every time I look at his toes, I think "wow thoses are really long toes!" Anyway, back on the subject, he gets his first cast put on Monday so this is just going to be a before picture for when all of the casting is done. After he gets his cast put on I'll put up a picture of that. Oh...after looking at this picture for a minute, I realized that his left leg looks way shorter then his right but it's not, he's just bending his left leg...just in case you guys were wondering. Haha :)
I also have to say that Eric is a great husband and Dad! He loves playing and spending time with Bailee. She has so much fun with him, they are constantly screaming and laughing when they play together! He is so good with Austin. On the weekends when he doesn't have to work he will take Austin in the morning if I didn't get much sleep and he will let me get some much needed sleep. He also makes sure that I get some one on one time with Bailee...he watches Austin so Bailee and I can go do something together and have fun. I am so grateful to Eric for the things that he does. Just had to brag a little about my hubbby :)
P.S. sorry if some parts of this post didn't make sense, I am really tired and am not going to proof read...I'm just happy that I got a post up :)
