My new friend Penguin

Austin with his penguin that is the same size as he is! Austin had a good week. It was rainy and cold here all week so there was lots of inside games and playtime. Hopefully this weekend we have some better weather so that he can enjoy some fresh air! We don't have much planned for this weekend. Happy Friday and enjoy the little show. Love you!

These are pictures of Austin at Estes, CO on Sunday afternoon. He sure enjoys the swing. He tried to jump at first . . . he was thinking he was in his jump chair!

We got Austin babbling on tape! He was just chatting away and so we got some quick footage of him. . . Enjoy!!

Here are pictures from our weekend! We hung out with Jon & Clare's cat Phoebe. Austin just loves keeping an eye on her and her TAIL! :)

Yesterday we went swimming at Jon's again. This time Austin was a lot more active, kicking and splashing and moving around more.

On Friday evening we started Austin on solids. We made him a little dish of rice cereal and propped him in his high chair. It didn't go over so good . . . I'm not sure if it was the cereal or the spoon that he wasn't a huge fan of.

It's hard for us to believe Austin will be 6 months old tomorrow! Here's some more fun times in his jump chair!

Last night we played in the grass a little bit. I spread out a blanket in the backyard and let Austin roll around. At first he was unsure of the grass . . . it was really neat to watch him experience the grass for the first time. He didn't mind it but he didn't want his entire body to be in it. And of course we had to put some in our mouth to see what it felt like in there! :)

Hi everybody! The picture of Austin sleeping in the blue pj's was taken on Wednesday morning. I went in to check on him and this is how he was sleeping! I don't know if you can tell from this angle but his little bottom is up against the edge of his crib and his legs are sticking up in the air and crossed at the ankles. We thought it was cute and looked uncomfortable! The other two are some cute crib pictures that I think Cassie took while she was watching him today!!! Happy Friday!!

Hey everyone! We hope you had a great weekend. Jon babysat Austin on Saturday for a few hours so Brian and I could go to a movie. I think it was a great experience for Uncle Jon! Austin had a good time and was still smiling when we got home . . . of course!! These are just a few pictures and a video of us hangin' around the house Saturday and Sunday!

Well we ended up driving to Iowa last Thursday and shocked everyone who got to see us! We were not planning on coming so it was very fun showing up and seeing the looks on everyones faces!! We had a lot of fun and the trip was well worth it. We spent two nights in Emmetsburg and two nights in Fort Dodge. These pictures are from Grandma and Grandpa Lenox's kitchen sink. This was Austin's first "sink bath". The pictures are totally adorable and he of course loved the water!! Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!
