Sad Day

Daddy goes back to work today. We're trying to stay strong for him...

But we can't hide it! We're going to miss him!

Hello Again

We finally bought new batteries this morning!

I ended up finding a camo onesie for him to wear on opening day of dove season. It was a little big but it looked good for the picture!

We also had to see what he looked like in jeans... It looks like he's about to run right off of the changing table! I can't wait to dress him in fall clothes!I bought a new camera this morning... so I'm sure we'll make up for the lack of post the past few days!

Dead Batteries

We haven't posted anything because Mom is too lazy to put new batteries in the camera!

Everything is going well. Austin has slept 8 straight hours the last two nights. We are really enjoying it and hoping it continues!

We bought his Halloween costume on Thursday. I can't wait to try it on him.

We'll do a review of the last few days once I changes the batteries!!

First Labor Day Weekend

Happy Labor Day everyone! I had a great first Labor Day weekend. I started Saturday with a nice bath. I'm really starting to enjoy bath time. Even when Mom dumps water on my head. Saturday afternoon I got to meet my Great-Grandpa Kiefer for the first time. After that I hung out with my girlfriends -- Kylie, Makayla and MacKenzie. Kylie likes to call me "baby boy." Makayla and MacKenzie just call me handsome! ;) I have a feeling those twin girls are going to give a run for my money when we get older!

Sunday Mommy and Grandma Salger took me on a field trip. I thought I was in Washington, DC. but Mom told me were just in Hecker. Apparently this is a Vietnam War Memorial replica. I can't wait to visit the real thing some day. Mommy said that her and Daddy drove to see Kylie, Makayla and Mackenzie's Mommy and Daddy when they lived near DC. She said we'd be flying the next time we go back!


Sunday evening we had dinner at Aunt B's. I wasn't too sure about my first run in with a cow. Grandpa promised me she was friendly.

Here I am with my Aunt B. I just love her so much.

They always like to dress me up. Last night I got to pretend to be a cowboy.

Today is the first day of Dove Season. I made sure I was up at 4:45 to see my Dad off. I can't wait until I get to go with him. Mommy has been looking all morning for some camo that fits me.

Happy Labor Day! Love, Austin

Gallbladderless Mommy

I dropped my gallbladder off at St. John's exactly 6 weeks after Austin was born. (Nothing has changed at the hospital -- The place is still wonderful!) Everything went really well with the surgery. Come to find out my doctor is the one who pioneered this surgery at St. John's. He isn't the one that invented the entire thing, but he's the one who learned it first and then taught the rest of the doctors. I guess I was in good hands! I'm a little sore this morning, but nothing serious. The worst part was getting rid of the air that they fill your abdomen with. Each time the nurses would ask me to rate the pain, I would say, "Uhm...I just had a baby...maybe a 2!" I have to go back for a follow up in the next 10 - 14 days. I think we'll be couching it for the next few days! I got this text message when I got to my recovery room.... Sorry about the lack of posts the last few days. Mommy has been a little nervous!

Comfortable??"Bring back the Olympics!"

"They really aren't bringing them back?!?!"
