These days...

Austin has been playing with his stuffed animals a lot more lately. He carries them around and puts them in his elmo chair. With his elephant, in the pictures below, he is trying to figure out how to button the pocket.


Carrying Black Bear around!
Yeah for confined areas! Austin loves them.
euh...help! He likes to get stuck on this table in our dining room.



BATH TIME! Waiting ....
Is it ready yet Mama? ;)
Fun sticky letters and numbers everywhere

He thinks it is hilarious when he gets squirted! :) ...love it!

14 Months...already

A couple of days ago Austin managed to reach my keys on the counter and pull them down. Below is what he did with them. I am constantly amazed at how much he watches and picks up. So fun!

Joel, Paula, Levi and the lil' miracle inside of Paula came down to visit this weekend. It was so much fun to all hang out while it lasted! ;) It was so great to see Levi and Austin playing together..aka learning to share together and to hang out with Joel and Paula (Juncle and Cha Cha). Their trip was cut short due to Andrew coming down with the flu on Sat. afternoon. It was still such a great time up until then. On Sat. morning Andrew and I (and come to find out Joel and Paula) woke up to a thud and then Austin crying. I thought he may have fallen in his crib and hit his head. Andrew went in to get him and came back into the room with Austin in his arms and said, "We have a problem. Austin was not in his crib." ;) We think he used his bumper (which is no longer in his crib) to climb out. He is ok and was not hurt. We are hoping that it was a one time deal.

They both had so much fun swinging!





What a darling family ready to add one more to the bunch! :)

Today it was, from our car's reading, 62 degrees and sunny! It was beautiful! We took a walk, a drive and then decided to just play outside and wash the van. We thought Austin would enjoy washing the van and have fun playing in the water...etc. Boy were we mistaken. He was very scared of the hose. Everytime Andrew turned it on he would start shaking and run over to me and want to be held. He didn't want to touch the sponge either. He still had fun running up and down the drive way and climbing the stairs to the porch.
