Happy Austen


You are starting to smile and coo a lot more. I love it when you try and imitate the sound that I am making. You make me so happy!


Big Sister

I was in the kitchen making dinner and you were starting to get fussy. I noticed that you stopped and when I went to check on you this is what I found. McKaylee was reading you a book. The best part is it was a potty training book. Did you pick up any pointers?

Blessing Day

You were blessed on March 6, 2011. I loved your blessing dress. You looked so beautiful.


Getting Bigger


I can't beleive that you are 2 months old already. You are such a happy baby. I love your cute smiles and your cute noises. I love your cute leg rolls and your chubby cheeks. I love your blue eyes and you soft hands and feet. I love your crazy hair. I just love my baby Austen.

Held

You loved being held by anyone. Mom, Dad, Kaylee, Daphnee. You were out snuggler

Ahh

My Sweet Daphnee is getting bigger. We noticed that there were times that you like to sleep on your back and other times you liked to sleep on your tummy. Either way you still looked like an angel

Tangled

I was changing your diaper one day and you started screaming and crying so hard you were out of breath. I didn't know why you were crying like that until I noticed that you had a fit full of your own hair. Once I untangled it you calmed down right away. I have to say that is one way to get some attention.

Baby Stroller

McKaylee and Daphnee left out their strollers and your dad wanted to see if you fit in them. You didn't look too amused

This is one of Grandma's favorite pictures of you Sadly Grandma Burrell had to go home a little early. But while she was here she with you as much as she could.

Your Home Coming

We were home about 2 hours after you were born. McKaylee and Daphnee were so excited to see their baby sister. Kaylee wanted to hold you first.
Then Daphnee

It was good to finally have you home with us!

Your Birth Story

This picture was taken on my way to the birth center I was in labor and my contractions were about 3 minutes apart.
When I got to the birth center I was in a lot of pain. I was dialated to a 5 when I got there. It was about 1:45.
I really wanted to give birth in the tub but Jean said it would be better if I was out of the tub. By Approximatly 3:00 I was dialated to a 7! I was in so much pain. I didn't know if I could do it anymore. I just wanted to be done and holding you in my arms
I didn't have to push for very long. You were ready to come. At 3:15 You, Austen Jade Wilsterman were born. You had a head full of dark curly hair. You weighed 8 lbs 12.5 oz. and you you 21 1/2 inches long.


Jean checked you out and declared that you were perfect!

Proud Daddy
Excited Aunt Stephanie
Treasured by Grandma!

Great Grandma Kimber

2 days before you were born my Grandma Kimber passed away. I loved her so much. She was a wonderful example to me. She always knew how to make people feel better, she had a wonderful smile and laugh. It was pretty unexpected when she passed. I had a hard time at first but I had to remember that Grandma was now in Heaven. I know that she was able to visit with you and maybe give you some advice before you came here to earth.

Graduate

This post is dedicated to your dad. Austen you have the most wonderful dad. Not only was he working full time as a Spanish teacher. He was going to school after work and when he wasn't at school he was working on homework. He was getting his Masters Degree because he wanted out life to be better. He is such a good dad. He loves to snuggle and play. He loves to read stories and he loves to make everyone smile. Your dad is amazing. Just thought you should know.

Burrell Family

This is my side of the family. The Burrell's

8 Months Pregnant

These pictures were taken when we were in Utah for Aunt Danielle and Uncle Blake's Wedding

6 Months Pregnant

You were pretty active at this time. I don't know what is was about my left side but whenever I would lay on that side you would start kicking and moving all around. You could really see my tummy move when you would kick. I loved to "tummy watch" all the time. I had pretty bad heartburn at this time. Water even gave me heartburn I was pretty sure that you have had some hair on your head but your shocked us all!
