But the arrival of Austin's Great Grandpa Tully and his girlfriend, Helen, brought 12 of us all together Sunday for a feast at Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant.
It was the first time for many to meet Austin. That includes 87-year-old Great Grandpa, who got to meet his first and only great grandson. (He has four great granddaughters.)
Austin literally was passed around the table to greet everyone, including Cousin-in-law Heather and the twins.
And Cousin Stephanie, along with Aunt Pat.
But then it got to be too much. The little guy was a bit overwhelmed and he let us know that he needed a break. Luckily, Austin got his act together so he could enjoy some interaction with cousin twins, Kylie and Katelyn. The 5-year-old twins were fascinated by Austin's every move. They patted his head and let Austin grip their fingers, even with his slobbery hands.
By the end of the night, Austin was very happy. So happy, in fact, that we caught him on video laughing, a new skill. Michael tapped his nose with a stuffed animal from Aunt Linda transported by Great Grandpa. (The video is around 30 seconds)
Speaking of skills, Austin looks like he's going to be an early crawler. Last week, I propped him up on the Boppy pillow for tummy time. And he climbed over. Here are some shots of his journey.
