Happy Birthday!

It's hard to believe that 1 year ago today I held Austin in my arms for the first time! I knew immediately that I would love him more than anything in the world! He was by far the best birthday present I have ever received. Happy Birthday little man, we love you very much!

New toy

Austin loves all of his new toys! He got so much stuff he hasn't even played with all of it yet. This was his gift from Keith and I and it has a ton of buttons. It even speaks Spanish! He can stand there and play with it for several minutes and never tire of it. Keith and I can actually get stuff done now! I love this toy!

1st Birthday party

Yummy!

Saturday I am going to let him feed himself for the first time. We are going to do pirate cupcakes instead of a big cake. It should make for great pictures. For now I am still managing the spoon;)

Isn't that a great face? He has a piece of cracker stuck to his chin and he's trying to get it off with his tongue Full tummy! Now it's time for a nap!

Nap time at the Kirkland's

All this party planning has wore us all outLook at that bed-head!
Austin always wakes up in a silly mood. Must be all the sweet dreams

Getting ready for pirates

Austin was "helping" me sort through the decorationsAlmost time! Can't wait for Saturday!
Trying to get Austin to look at the camera. Practicing for the party.
We have a ways to go;)

As you can see everyone is feeling better...

Back to playing hard...and sleeping through the night!!!Should I be worried when I see this look?

Keith's sick too!

Now the whole family has had this stomach bug! It started with me, hit Austin pretty hard, attacked Keith's mom and Kelsie and now Keith is fighting it. I think he is starting to feel better, but this thing must have been pretty potent to get him. Keith never gets sick! I just hope by next week everyone is feeling better! I want everyone 100% for the big 1st birthday party next Saturday!

The wonders of teething!

All I will say is the other night Keith was outside hosing off the highchair and I was in the tub hosing off Austin and my arm! Enough said;)

Feeling MUCH better

Back to playing hard
