Pumpkin Seed

That is what Chad calls Summer. Here are some pictures I took of her this week. The yellow dress is one that my sisters and I all wore.

Austin finally got to swim yesterday he loved it. He even discovered the mud that forms around the pool and decided that was more fun. He also experienced his first shower now I won't be able to keep him out of the bath or the shower.

Oh yes my first picture with both kids!

No Way MOM!

Well we have tried many times to get a picture of Austin and Summer together but have not had any luck. Here is the proof-Don't worry Summer's eye is red because I was wiping it right before the picture-not because of Austin. After Austin eats now he pushes the chair around the kitchen and eats what fell in his chair-it makes the clean up a little easier.

Happy Easter

Austin loved all of his Easter goodies. As you can see Summer slept through the celebration. Austin's newest friend is Ozzie the octopus it covers the spout in the bath tub and you feed him little tablets that turn the bath water different colors. And of course he took a bath first thing that morning so he could play with all his new toys.

Look at Me!

Can you believe how big Austin is? Here are some recent pictures of Austin working on walking he is making great progress. He now has started climbing. This is so exciting because yesterday he climbed into Summer's pack and play. Thank goodness I was holding her!

By the way Chad made the bars for Austin-he is such a good daddy.

Summer Rose is Here!

Summer was born on March 28 at 1:26 pm. She weighed 7.7 and was 19 inches long. She is doing great and Austin is enjoying every minute of it. I will post more next time just wanted to get some pictures out for everyone to see.

Austin turns 2!

Well it was a month early but we had Austin's birthday party last Saturday. We had family over for dinner and cake.

It was very nice and Austin enjoyed having his cousins over to play.

What Austin is thinking

Why did you give me a bowl when I can eat my snack off the floor?

Don't worry I can get my own drink.

I want to take a bath with you mom!

Come on dad, let's go play!

You can never turn your back

Austin is moving so fast these days it only takes a second for him to get into something. These are the results of not keeping my eye on him. He has also learned how to pull up on flat surfaces which is awesome until you spend an extra five minutes in the shower trying to get him to sit down so he doesn't fall as you open the door.

Christmas with Nanny and Poppy

Ok this was our last Christmas for this year. Chad's parents came in on Friday so we celebrated with them. Austin loved getting into the presents before we opened them. It was so exciting for Austin he decided to stay up until midnight. Boy were Nanny and mommy tired!

Have a Happy New Year!

Christmas at Grandma and Papa's

This year I asked for clothes for Austin and here is what he received
11 shirts
6 pairs of pants
6 pairs of shorts
1 jacket
2 pairs of PJ'S
He now has a whole new wardrobe!
We went to my mom and dad's today-It was nice to spend time with everyone and watch the kids open their presents. They are all so well behaved it shows what good parents my and sisters/brother-in-laws are.

Once again our family has blessed us. Love you all
