Myrtle Beach Pictures

We met the family this year at Myrtle Beach for our week long vacation.  Here are a few pictures of the Monster.

He made us chase him all over the beach.

Playing with the toys in the sand.

Watch out!

Here I come!

Giggles with Mommy.

I'll get you G.G.!

When all else fails, ask Great-Granddaddy!

Rocking on John Ave.

Picture Update 2

Aug 2nd - First attempt at dinner with a fork.  Messy to say the least.

Getting the hang of it.

Straight to the tub for a new hairdo.

Wild man

Aug 7th - Watching a movie on his nap mat.

Aug 15th - Listening to some tunes with Daddy.

Aug 19th -  Pooped out after day 2 at day care.  Time to watch a movie and have a snack.

Picture update

One Year Pictures with Big Boy Haircut

In case you missed this on Facebook, a baby deer decided to hang out in our flower bed at the end of June.  It stayed there for about an hour before moving on.  Austin got to watch it through the front window.  It was sweet.

July 19th - I made Austin a hat for the winter.  This was before I put two buttons on it.  He's such a cute baby model.

July 20th - Here's the Monster and his master piece.  He loves to color.  Ok, so he did at first and now he likes to try to eat the crayons.  Good thing they are non-toxic.

I need my dad to send me some Myrtle Beach pictures.  Stand-by.

I'm back

I know that I am terribly behind and I apologize.  I have no pictures to put up right now.  We went to Myrtle Beach for  the week including the 4th of July.  Other than that, we haven't done any traveling.  Austin has started back to daycare and is in the toddler room.  He was bitten the first day, but no marks or anything.  He seems to be okay with it and happy when I pick him up.  I watch him through the window for a few minutes before I let him know that I'm there.  He also peed on his potty for the first time this weekend.  It was Friday night and I was at a friend's birthday dinner so I missed it.  It was just before bath and the naked baby was running the house.  He was playing on his potty in the bathroom when Sam told him to go potty and he DID!  It hasn't happened since, but it was pretty neat.  And that's really the first FIRST that Sam has gotten to experience.  Well, I'm going to try to round up some pictures and get us caught up.  Sorry it's taken so long.  The summer was pretty busy.

Zoo and More Birthday

Austin had his first trip to the zoo on June 16.  Here is Austin and Sam checking out the camel.  Austin is one year shy of being about to ride one.  He enjoyed seeing all the animals, but I think his favorite were the monkeys (no surprise) and the giraffes (only because they got soooo close).

Sam and Austin perched here to view the giraffes and then some zookeepers came over to put a branch (small tree) in the pen.  The entry gate is just below the boys.  The giraffes were excited about the food and came really close to us.

Then Austin took a nap and woke up to find a new playhouse in the backyard.  Sam and I built it during his nap time.  Each of its four sides have different themes.  It's pretty neat.

Fiona likes it too.

On June 19, Austin had ANOTHER birthday party with our friends/family here in Little Rock.  Here is his birthday cupcake cake.  He also had a personal cake that he could get into.

Of course, there was no highchair, so he sat on my lap.

All tuckered out and messy.
