Book Worm

To say Austin loves to "read" is a giant understatement. He's become a huge bookworm these days. "Uh, book...uh, book...uh, book" is all we hear! I think we got every book in the house out last weekend. I told him we could have started a small children's library.
He doesn't really like for us to actually read the stories to him. He's content with pointing at the things he knows, and then screaming saying its name.I guess he probably gets his love of books very honestly. Mama's been known to have her nose in a book, or two, over the years!
Here's to hoping this phase never ends! Happy reading, baby!

Bella & Austin

Austin's friend, Isabella, invited us to her 2nd birthday party in mid-January. We were all set up to go when I got sick the night before. I was so upset, but knew it was best not to spread any germs at the party. So last weekend we got together with Bella, and her parents, to have our own little party.

Austin loved the balloons and his treat bag!
Austin and Bella had so much fun building towers, playing with Bella's kitchen and climbing in her tent."What's for dinner, Bella?" "I don't know, but I must put on my apron first."
Austin really enjoyed the tent/tunnel! Other kid's toys are always so much fun!
All that playing made them so thirty! Time for a tea party with the Madeline tea set we gave Bella for her birthday.
The tea was delicious!
Thanks for having us over, Bella! We hope to see you again real soon!

Kid Expo

The winter weather definitely has us starving for something fun to do. Last weekend Nana decided we should check out the Kid's Expo in Belleville. We didn't know what to expect but we figured it couldn't hurt to check it out.

We discovered there wasn't a whole lot for kids Austin age, but it was still fun to get out of the house!The best booth was the one selling mini donuts. The only thing we heard on the way home was "more, more more!"
