A Fun First Easter

The Easter bunny was very good to Austin on his first Easter. I think he even gave Santa a run for his money!

Easter with Nana, Pa, Aunt B and Uncle C.It's raining eggs!Please mom???
Easter with the Kiefers.
All dressed up for our first Easter church service...
Easter with the Hentis' and Gregsons.
Austin loved his first Easter... but he's still not sure about Easter grass!
Thanks to everyone (including those who the camera missed!)who thought of Austin on his first Easter. He's a very lucky little boy!

Easter Morning

Our first Easter as a family was so much fun. The morning started off with Austin finding his goodies from the Easter Bunny!
A Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Table, a swing, travel high chair and Easter books! Daddy says the Easter bunny went a little overboard. I think the Easter bunny knows Austin will only have his first Easter once!Look Dad! A swing!
A puff! The Easter bunny knows just what he likes!The aftermath...
Next, we had an Easter breakfast. Austin wore his "my first Easter" bib from G'Aunt Sissy.
Daddy and Austin read Easter books while I got ready for the day's festivities.
We look forward to many more special Easter memories!

A Late Valentine

Remember Valentine's Day a few months ago? Well, my Mom has finally posted some of the pictures from that special lovey dovey day! She says it's a little late but it's fun to see how much I've grown since my first Valentine's Day!
Here I am getting ready to give my mom her special valentine...
A special Valentine's Day cake from Aunt B.
(No, they didn't really let me eat any!)
I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!

Easter EGGstravaganza!

We went to an Easter Eggstravaganza the weekend before Easter. There were so many fun things to do there! Easter bonnet contests, games, yummy food (mommy loved the tea!), an Easter bunny trail, and a 20-acre egg hunt! This was also the first time I sat in my stroller like a big boy!

Our first stop was the bunny trail!
Here we go!
Stopping at the Honey Factory with my Aunt B!
There were eggs everywhere!
Nana and Kalli stopping for a photo.
A fun tunnel!
Eggs are yummy!
Listening to Mother Goose read nursery rhymes...


Leaving the bunny trail...
Taking a lunch break with Aunt B.
What a fun day!
Next year we'll stick around for the Easter Bunny!

Growing Like A Weed At 9 Months!

Hear ye! Hear ye!
Austin is now 9 months old!

9 Months Stats:
Weight: 22lbs 8 oz
Height: 30"
Head: 18 3/4"

You've dropped to the 80% for your weight. The doctor said you're "growing like a weed, tall and skinny!" Daddy and I kind of wonder where you came from...


9 Month Highlights:

You wave bye-bye. Sometimes with both hands!

You are working so hard on standing on your own. We have to put you into that position, but your legs are getting stronger and stronger each day.

You spit blow raspberries.

You prefer orange veggies over green ones.

You need a hair cut.

You have no interest in crawling! But you are a rolling fool these days!

You yell!

You still have $160 in gift card $ for diapers. To date we have spent $0 on diapers!

You have approximetly 152 meals in the freezer.

You celebrated your first Easter! Someday your Mama will upload pictures...


You are trying a little table food here and there. You love mashed potatoes, rice and macaroni & cheese!

You don't like to wear socks.

You love to be or look outside. You were so surprised to find a glass door in our living room!
You aren't hip on being held by people other then close family.

You look for toys when you throw them accidentally drop them from your high chair.

You have been sleeping in your bed like a champ!

You still don't have any chompers!

You're wearing 12 - 18 month clothing and size four diapers.

You've starting to object when something is taken away from you. Especially when it's the home telephone.

You're making great progress with the sippy cup!

You love to play the "I'm going to get you" game.

You're starting to think two hours naps are for babies.

You are still the best thing that ever happened to us!
We love you buddy!
