Ok so I've been slacking on the posting for a while but we've had
sooo much going on lately between all of us (minus Austin) getting the nasty flu bug that is going around and trying to squeeze in some extra family time before baseball started. So Austin is now 7 months old as of last Sunday. I'm in complete shock of how fast this fall and winter has flown by! He's not a little baby anymore and I miss it!! Although I'm loving him so much right now because he is so much fun at this age, it's my favorite age by far!! He has finally outgrown his infant seat (by weight of course) and has gotten 2 teeth in the last few weeks. Those of course aren't fun times. Austin is really into watching Hayden and loves to grab onto him when he is near. They are so cute together these days interacting much more. Hayden can say Austin really well actually and loves to say "hi Austin" when he wakes up in the morning and give him a kiss. It's so sweet. Those times are definitely my favorite. Austin is really enjoying Ellie these days too, although she's taking more liking to following Hayden around and playing in his room. They play really well together and she lets him know when she's mad at him! Austin can't wait to be able to crawl around and play with them more. So here are some things we have been up to lately, along with some cute pics of the boys...
He still has those beautiful blue eyes!
These are some typical times with the boys. Hayden loves to have Austin lay on him and they hug and kiss on
each other and Austin pulls Hayden's hair. It's so cute!
Austin loves his big brother so much
A walk with Ellie and Austin on one of the sunny days we've had. They are so cute!
Austin had his first big boy bath on Valentine's Day and absolutely loved it!! He is such a
water dog already and loves to splash around! He did great in the big tub!
No bath toys can beat a washcloth!
Just some picture taking fun in his room. He is always so happy and loves to smile for the camera. I can't help but take a million pics of him.
This picture is so funny to me. Again I love his blue eyes but he has the funniest look on his face!
Can you see his teeth?
Hayden went to his first
OSU basketball game with Daddy and Grandpa George. He almost made it the entire game and loved all the junk food that came with going to a game. (
geez he needs a haircut!!)
Good times with Grandpa
Last Friday we took Hayden to Wacky Bounce in Corvallis after the boys had shots. Hayden loved this place and I recommend it to anyone with kids! It's only $7 a kid and parents play for free!! We will be making many more trips here for sure! It was so much fun for Ryan and I to get to play too!! Hayden loved having us interact with him, making him feel special since we haven't got to do too many fun things like this since we had Austin. Sliding into a ball pit was so much fun! We started our weekend with this as baseball started today and we wanted to have a weekend spent with the boys doing fun things before it did. What a great weekend we had!!
Wacky Bounce also has an infant/toddler play area for those too small to participate in the big inflatables. Austin enjoyed some of the cool toys before taking a nap.
Hayden and I having a blast!!
He loves the ball pit
Saturday we headed over to the coast for a night away. We stayed at one of our favorite hotels and the boys (including Ryan) all enjoyed the swimming pool as soon as we got there. It was Austin's first time in the pool and he loved it! He even got mad when we took him out. Hayden surprised us and was jumping off the sides into the pool and remembered everything from the summer and swimming. He really enjoyed the pool! Ryan and Hayden stayed in the pool a little later while I took Austin back to the room to get ready for bed. Then the boys came back and we hung out and ate junk food. What another fun day!
Austin loved swimming! He's so cute in his little
boardshorts and rolls!
Laying on his back in the water
Sunday morning we got up and ate breakfast at our favorite spot,
Sambos. They have the best pancakes ever!! Then we headed towards Newport and hit the waterfront so Hayden could see the sea lions. He was fascinated by them. Since he was so into them we decided to hit up the aquarium. We hadn't been there with him since he was younger and not so interested in it.
These things are so loud and fat!
Hayden finally decided to try out the toddler foot stand on the stroller so he could hitch a ride!
Loved seeing all the different types of fish. The jellyfish were so pretty.
Watching the sea lions and seals.
The fun little play area at the end was a lot of fun for Hayden. He loves to climb!
So now baseball has started so Ryan will be pretty busy! I'm excited to take the boys to a game or two as soon as it starts getting nice out. I'll try and post sooner rather than later!!
