Shannon Family of Five

6 weeks old

While Dan and Sharon were visiting Sharon was nice enough to take some pictures of Austin for us. Due to our current financials I wasn't able to get professional newborn pictures of Austin like I did with Kailin. I am so happy with how these turned out. Thank you Sharon.

There are often time when I am holding Austin and he will grab onto my arm like this.

I love this picture of me and Austin.

They can't all be happy pictures right?

Cute little feet with long long toes.

Bear hat made by my mom.

He sticks out his tongue just like Kailin did.

Long toes

Austin under the blanket given to me by the Relief Society, this is his blessing blanket.

Austin's blessing day

We had a wonderful day on Sunday March 4th. Austin was blessed. He is such a happy baby and was very content through the whole thing. My mom made him the most precious blessing outfit. We were happy to have Craigs parents, brothers family, friends, my parents and sister here. I want to thank everyone who traveled to come and spend this special day with us. I was impressed with his blessing something that was mentioned multiple times was that Austin would be able to develop strong relationships with family and friends. It is amazing what a blessing this little boy is in our life. We sure love you buddy.

The ZOO!!!!

We have been very lucky to have gotten a year pass to the zoo for Christmas. Kailin absolutely loves the zoo. We have gone a few times. Here are some pictures. We went right before Austin was born(in hopes the walking would encourage him to come).

Two days before Austin was born.

Let it SnOw!!!!

We have been waiting all year for a snow storm. Kailin loves snowmen and wanted to build once ever since she saw Christmas decorations. Unfortunately the only snow storm we had until this past week was the day Austin was born, and I wasn't quite available to build a snowman. We took advantage of the snow and called over Kailin's friends for a fun morning of sledding, building snowmen, and making snow angels.

All bundled and ready

So EXCITED!!!

Austin's 1st month

I wanted to post pictures of Austin's first month. He is now 7 weeks old and growing so fast. He is full of smiles and gets a lot of hugs and kisses from us all, but especially from Kailin. She loves him so much.
