So in an attempt to try to post often on the blog I felt the need to share what I think is a funny story about being a mom. A couple weekends ago David and I went out to celebrate our friend Melissa having completed her masters. Of course like always the guys have their conversations and the girls have theirs. I have no idea what the guys were talking about but I am sure it was hunting or sports talk of some kind...meanwhile the girls were talking about labor. Haha. Granted the "moms" that were there in the conversation all have children under the age of 1. It is so funny how much your life changes and conversations change once you have kids. I remember one mom saying while we were there "What did we do before we had kids?" I know that David and I have thought about that. It is amazing how every moment of your life now is full of constant entertainment, new beginnings, and laughter because of the little ones in your life. (In celebration of mothers, I decided to attach of photo of all the mommies from our Christmas in Arkansas. It is David's cousins and their little ones. There are also two more babies in the picture but you can't see them yet because they are still growing in their mommies bellies. Spencer and Amber are both expecting new additions to their families. )
It is nice that Austin has an "official" uncle, David's brother Michael. It is so sweet to see the two of them together. Austin definately has a sweet spot in his uncle's heart because his picture is all over his truck. So sweet! Michael is always getting Austin little things so that he is cool. The latest things he has been getting him is camo gear because dad has become a "hunter". I wanted to make a special post just for Uncle Mikey because Austin really loves having him as an uncle (and we love having him as a brother...yes Michael I am your big sister and don't forget I can beat you up.)
Happy New Year Family and Friends! Today we sat down as a family the three of us and wrote down our new year resolutions. Austin has a lot that he wants to accomplish in the new year. At the top of his list he said that he wanted teeth. (We put two toys in front of him and told him one was teeth and the other was to walk and he picked the teeth one. Haha.) Well one of my new years resolutions is going to be to update the blog on a regular basis. Well to start the year off right we must update you on everything Austin can now do because he has accomplished a lot since my last post of Santa Claus is coming to town. Austin can now clap his hands, crawl, pull himself up on everything and anything, feed himself little puffs or anything you put on his tray, and has now begun to make himself laugh. It is one of the cutest things we've seen. We just sit and watch him play and his imagination goes. He will be playing with his toys and then drop his head and just laugh. Very cute!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and was able to spend it with family and friends. This Christmas was extra special because it was Austin's first Christmas. We spent Christmas in Arkansas with David's side of the family. My parents also made the trip up because they wanted to be there also. (I don't think my parents know how much that meant to me.) It is hard when you get married to have to "switch" who you spend Christmas with and being able to spend Christmas with both David's parents and mine made it extra special this year as well as it being Austin's first Christmas.
I apologize for the delay in posting but Austin has quickly discovered that he can move around now so I can no longer update the blog during his waking hours and must do all my "work" while he is sleeping. I have also been trying to get some Christmas presents put together since Christmas is only 14 days away! I can't wait! I am still like a little kid and get so excited this time of year. Last weekend we took Austin to see Santa and he did so good. He really was just kind of wondering who he was and why he had a big white beard. It has been so fun lately with Austin because we are getting to start to do things as a family...for example, spend the day at Market Street (or maybe I should say the afternoon).
