Cute Pics

Books and blocks: Two of Austin's most favorite things. Just add balloons and cars and that is Austin's world!

Wheelchair Videos

Not the best cinematography here, but they're still cute.

Austin Likes Rides

Austin has taken an interest in Great-Grandman's wheelchair, so his Grandpa Jameson took him for a rid around the house. Austin, in typical roller coaster ride fashion, keeps his hands half raised the whole time with a big grin on his face. Grandpa J. probably put in about a mile around the house before he got tired. Austin, on the other hand, was probably good for several more miles.

Dakota and mashed potatoes

So I left some fake mashed potatoes out on the counter for a minute and when I came back, this is what I saw. Lately, Dakota has taken a renewed interest in a couple of human foods that I thought he had given up: fake potatoes and Cheetos. What we really need is for him to eat the things Austin drops from his highchair, but no such luck.

Austin Discovers Balloons

So Dakota loves to climb the Christmas trees, but he is really scared of helium-filled balloons. We decided to hang two balloons - one on each tree. Well, when the trees were put away until next Christmas and the balloons were still floating, we gave one to Austin. We're not sure, but we think he might like balloons.

Austin's Favorite Christmas Present

Austin got a car that Mommy and Daddy can push. He loves it! He giggles and laughs while revving the engine all throughout the house. As soon as Daddy figures out how to download the camcorder videos, he'll post those, too so you can see the rest of Christmas.
