Beach Boy!

We went out to the beach with Austin for the first time yesterday. I really think he liked it. He cried at the first feel of the water under his toes but after that he was loving it. We had lots of sand to get off, which he didn't like, but we had fun while we were there.

Today is Janet's 31st birthday. If you get a chance to shoot her a happy birthday message that would be great.

We are heading to Texas on Sunday for a week to visit with the family. We will be bringing my mom back with us the following week so she can spend a little more time with us. Pray for us as we travel with babe in lap as this will be our first big adventure with the little rascal. He's a little to young to "dope up" with benedryl so I'm thinking I'll just bring earplugs for myself for when he pipes up. I was looking for some sort of baby mussel device like those court reporters use but no luck. Should be fun! Eric

I HAVE FEET?

Hey everybody! Check these things out that are attached to me! They call them "feet". How do I get them to my mouth though? I'll work on that and get back to you. Austin



LOOK AT THAT LITTLE BUG UNDER THE RUG!

Father's Day


We celebrated my first Father's Day today by going to church and then out to eat at Texas Roadhouse. Janet and Austin had some presents for me when we got home then it was NAP TIME! Have I ever mentioned how much I like sleep? Yes? Well, anyway we are up now and are going to try and go outside for a little bit of vitamin D production. The heat here has be extremely bad so we may not last long. Just a few more pics. Eric

Weekend Fun


I finally got a picture of our nanny Hilary and her husband Adam. She normally doesn't wear a crown but it was her birthday party so she was queen for the day!

Here is a funny picture of Austin in an over sized cloth diaper. Poor little boy all smothered in cotton!

Have I mentioned that he has found his hands? This is a picture right before he gagged himself by putting his fist in his mouth. Funny stuff!

Here is a video we shot today of him trying to sit up. We call it Mr. Bobbles! It ends with a nice BURP!

Looking Good Baby!


Janet is doing well in her transition back to work. She has been very busy but still manages to sneak away for an hour at lunch to come feed Austin. Austin is doing something new everyday. He has found his fingers and gets great satisfaction out of sucking them, scratching his face, poking them in his eyes and ears and sometimes just starring at them. He is becoming much more content during his awake times and is becoming much more interactive. He loves to smile, laugh and squeal and is happy most of the time. Believe me though, he can definitely let you know when something isn't right!

We are trying our hand at the reusable cloth diaper thing. It's not too bad. No diaper rash yet thankfully. We've been doing it for about three weeks without any major issues. There aren't any scary pins or anything with these new cloth diapers. They use Velcro and breathable (sort of) outer liners so they go on pretty much like a disposable diaper.

There's no real major reason for why we decided to try them other than it sounded intriguing. Don't worry, we haven't turned all "tree hugger" or anything. Austin doesn't seem to mind them either so we'll keep using them until we get bored with them or something else comes along. I'm still working crazy hours in the ER at Camp Lejeune. Nothing major to tell you about there. Well, enough for now. Eric
