Bumbo Time

I can't believe it's time for Kayla to sit in the Bumbo. Seems like yesterday Austin was spending a lot of time in it. Well, he still does now.


He loves the Water







We went to the Water Park with Austin. He wasn't sure about it at first, but he really warmed up to it and had a blast. We met Grandma, Dad and Cheryl there. They watched Kayla while we swam with Austin. First we did the Lazy River then played in the Toddler area. He even got brave enough to go down a slide with his Dad. Good thing about this Water Park is the Company Jason works for runs it so we can go whenever we want!

Safari


We went on out first Safari yesterday, and it was one of the coolest things ever! Well, we drove through fields of hungry gentle animals. I have never been to a place like this, but have always heard of them. They gave us several bags of food to throw out for them. I was surprised that all of the animals went right up to the car. The ostriches kept scaring me. They kept sneaking up on me and begging at the window for food. One even snatched the food right out of my hand. Austin had a blast and it was a good learning experience for him as well. Austin's favorite animals were the Donkeys and the Zebras. He learned that a Donkey said Hee Haw and he was doing it every time he saw them.

We went with the Family. Jason's Dad, Grandma and Cheryl all came in town for a week to visit. It has been so nice to have them here. We are sad they are leaving tomorrow, but so happy they came all the way to Texas to visit.











Big Brother

Austin is finally becoming more interested in Kayla. He is going around her much more and helping me take care of her. Sometimes he still gets a little too rough with her, but he is a 2 year old boy. He loves to talk to her and pet her head lol. Kayla's favorite thing to do is watch him play. She is amazed by him. Here are a couple pics of Austin helping give her a bath last night.

Doctor Visit!

We took the kids to the Doctor today. It was my first time to a Texas Doctor and first time taking 2 kids for check ups. Kayla for her 2 month and Austin for his 2 year. The office was very nice and had several big play jungle jim type toys for Austin. He played quietly while we waited. That was nice.

Austin did quite well. He is still a skinny guy, weighs 26 pounds. He listened very well and loved the Doctor. Our Doc for sure looked like a Cowboy to me. The way he was dressed made me giggle. I was quite impressed with him and the care the kids received. He took his time and visited with us and Austin. I liked my Doctor back home, but this was just a different experience to me. Austin is in the Terrible 2's and he gave me some pointers on how to handle him. It can't last forever though!

Kayla is 12 pounds and doing awesome. Her Thrush has gone away finally. She does have cradle cap, but no big deal. She got her 1st shots and it broke my heart. Jason had to leave the room because Austin couldn't sit still. Kayla also had to get bloodwork. They did that right after the shots so she was quite upset. I wish Jason could have stayed in there with us.
