Austin and his FOOD!

Austin has always been a GREAT eater!  We have been very blessed in that Austin is not picky at all!  He will eat anything and everything.  He even likes leaves and dirt!  I probably have taken over 100 pictures of Austin eating because I just love watching him.  He sometimes can be very neat and other times can get a little messy.  He even now tries to use his fork.  He is becoming such a BIG BOY!  Here are a few pictures of him eating one of his favorites...grilled cheese, green beans, and milk to drink...

Here mommy, you can have some too! (Austin loves to share)

That's AMORE! (Austin must think I make the best grilled cheese.)

I think I can fit another bite in my mouth!  (Austin is constantly shoving his food in his mouth.  I think he must think that someone is going to take it.)

Austin trying to use his fork...at least he is trying to put the food on the fork.  A+ for effort!

Yay!  We got it!  

Family Vacation to Lake LBJ

For the past three summers we have gone out to our friends parents lake house out on Lake LBJ.  This year was extra fun because we always go with our friends Tim and Katie and also their friends from college Adam and Jennifer but now we all have baby boys!  So Austin got to play with his friend Ryan (Tim and Katie's son) and Chase (Adam and Jennifer's son).  This year Austin was the only "walker" so it was managable but next year they ALL will be walking and hopefully we will have another one with us!  Here are just a few pictures of the weekend...

Austin FIRST STORYTIME!

So Austin and I have been enjoying having the summer together and so that we actually get out of the house and do something I decided that we could do storytime at the library.  The first time we went he LOVED it.  I think it was because he got his own baggie of animal crackers.  Anytime he has food he is happy!  He was a PERFECT student and sat there and listened to the stories and songs!  Hopefully this carries on with him into his school years!

Austin is WALKING...

I always thought that when Austin was little he would be an early walker.  WRONG!  Haha.  I think I was wrong for a couple reasons.  ONE: Austin can be stubborn.  Wonder who he gets that from?  Well to be honest it's from both of us...oh joy the things we have to look forward to.  When he was young would let us guide him with our hands and he would move his feet but as he got older he wanted to do it alone (Mr. Independent...thanks to his momma).  TWO: Austin is smart and quickly learned that he could get places quickly with his one legged crab crawl.  Austin first took a few steps 8 to be exact June 10 and then June 23 he took 21 steps and became an "official" walker.  I have to say that it has been very cute being in another room and then coming to find him in another room walking around playing.

Two BIG Cheeses!

As you ALL know Austin is quite a ham!  I have to say that everyday he truly adds years to my life as he makes me laugh out loud daily!  I don't know what I did before he was born but I have to say I truly feel blessed to be his mom!  I have to post a picture of the two of us because it might just be one of those pictures I will NEVER get tired of seeing!  I guess you might could figure out where he gets his BIG smile from?!?
