Here are a few clips of Austin singing, dancing and talking. Austin has started laying his star blanket out on the floor next to Colton's monkey blanket because he enjoys doing tummy time right alongside Colton. He thinks it's hilarious that Colton has to lay on his tummy for a little bit of time every day. What a good big brother he is! The picture of Colton is just of him in his car seat waiting patiently for everyone else to be ready to go!!

Here are some hanging out around the house pictures and a cute little video to show you Colton's smiles. Austin is being a great helper!!

Well, we are back at home and working on getting into our regular routine! Austin got to help cook with Aunt Courtney, let Hunk up for kisses anytime he wanted them, he got to make the neon tubes light up at Papa's shop (which Uncle Jon and I don't ever recall being allowed to do :) and when we got home Daddy put together the horsey that Austin and Colton got from Annie and Papa for Christmas. So, the fun just kept going and going. Monday morning Austin wanted to go to work with Daddy and I had to explain to him that his job is to help Mommy take care of Colton while playing with all of his toys! It was great to travel and see everyone but it sure is nice to be back at home and not living out of a suitcase!!

Annie, Papa and Austin gave Colton a bubble bath last night. He was all smiles!

Happy New Year!

Our Christmas travels are going great! We are in

Fort Dodge and have been having a great time visiting with friends and family over the last couple of weeks. This morning I was singing to Colton and he belly laughed for the first time!! Super cute and of course I couldn't get him to do it again with any witnesses but it was still very exciting to get to hear him laugh. He has been talking more and more and growing every day!! Austin has been all smiles and having a great vacation as well, he enjoyed opening his Christmas presents this year as well as everyone else's. :)

Jon and Clare came over to celebrate Christmas with us last Saturday. We decorated cookies, opened gifts and had dinner together. It was a lot of fun and as always, time went too fast. Here is a little clip of Uncle Jon playing with Austin . . . as well as a picture of Colton in his new Christmas jammies!!

My friend Edie plays guitar and she got one for Austin! She gave him his very first guitar lesson last night and he did a fantastic job playing his very first chord.
