Graduation pics...

Here are a few pics from graduation. Notice I dont have any family pictures with me, Matt and Austin. The little guy wasn't exactly feeling up to taking pictures. I have a bunch of new pictures of him in our camera, but am out of batteries and need to get some before I can post new pics of him. I didnt get any pics from graduation either since my camera is inoperable at the moment and it was a crazy time with Austin being sick and all, but luckily my mom got a few so here they are.....

Graduation, the flu, new teeth...

Wow, where do I start. I guess I should start by apologizing for it being so long since I last posted. Things have been pretty crazy around here the last week. Last Wednesday I took Austin to the doctor because he just couldnt seem to kick what I thought was a cold, but he ended up with an antibiotic for sinus infection. Thursday we had his follow up appointment with the surgeon. He took the sterry strips off and his eye looks so good. There is just a little line where the incision was but other then that you can hardly tell he had anything done. After his appointment Thursday I went to drop him off at our sitters house so I could go study, only to find one of the little girls had just puked. So needless to say I decided not to leave Austin there and just skip the studying that day. After all with graduation the last thing we needed was to get the flu. Despite my efforts about 3 o'clock that afternoon Austin started puking. It was so sad to see him so miserable. He basically just layed there and cried for about 48 hours straight. I had mandatory school stuff pretty much all day Friday, so unfortunately Matt got most of the brunt of having to deal with a miserable sick kid, but he did great:):) Friday night I had my hooding ceremony, which Matt and Austin unfortunately did not get to attend, but a lot of my other family members were nice enough to come down for. Saturday Austin finally broke his fever and only got sick one time. Then the diarrhea started. And it kept coming, and coming, and coming. I am talking like 6 outfit changes on Sunday. Man, am I sick of doing laundry between the vomit and diarrhea I feel like that is all I did for 4 days!!! On top of the flu he had one tooth pop through on Saturday with another one really close to breaking through on the bottom, and possible two more on the top, poor thing!! So, as you can see we have had quite a busy week!! Things are starting to settle back down around here, no more vomiting or diarrhea, but he is still having some pain with his teeth, which is causing some middle of the night awakenings which I am not too fond of and hopefully end soon!!!

Happy Mothers Day...sorry photo happy:):)

Hello, Happy Mothers Day to all you mom's out there. We had a pretty relaxed day around here, just bummed around and went to cousin McKenzie's first t-ball game. Austin got me a massage for mothers day so I am definately looking forward to using that!! Here are some pics mostly from today, but a few are from last week. Enjoy!!!

Look at the curve on that can baby!

Mmmmm, I love eating my monitor.
Seriously, why am I doing a Sr. picture pose?

Some people may think that is a roll in my forearm, it's my muscle!

Chillin' with daddy

"Dad, what is taking you so long, take the picture!!!"

I am half as tall as mommy already. That means I am 2 feet 5 inches!!

I tricked them! I faked coughing all night long so I could cuddle with mommy.

Why won't this giraffe head go in my mouth?

If you have seen baby pictures of daddy you'd think we were twins!!

Oh yeah, thats the stuff baby. Give me something hard to do, like get my belly off the ground!

Am I really only 8 months old?

Mom, dressing me like a preppy is not cool. Where are my gym shorts and tee shirts at?

8 months old already...

I don't really know how to feel about that: a little sad that he is growing up so fast and also excited to see the new things he's learning to do and watch him grow up even more!!! Sorry it has been so long since I've posted I actually worked 40 hours this week, a glimpse of the real world, hopefully minus all the studying that I am also doing right now for my boards. Not too many changes with Austin lately:

• No teeth yet which I cant really believe because he has been drooling excessively for probably 5 months.
• No crawling, really he's not even close. Matt and I have decided that its probably because he is such a big boy, you try and lift that gut off the ground, I mean really, it'd be hard!!!!
• He is rolling all over the place though. We can lay him down on one end of the house and he will roll all the way across until he hits the other wall. The downside to this is so far he hasnt figured out how to roll the other way yet, so we have to turn him around in order for him to be able to roll back:):)
• Not sure exactly how big he is, my guess would be somewhere in the 29" range and 24lbs. All of his summer clothes are 18-24 months and they are none to big, see I told you he was a big boy!!!
• Talking up a storm. So far his vocabulary consists of: Mama, baba, papa and ball. No dada yet, but I'm sure its coming dad:):)
• Loves being outdoors and going to watch his dad coach 11 year old baseball. He has even already gotten to be the bat boy at a few games since I had to work and we couldnt find a sitter. Pretty sure he's probably the youngest bat boy ever, but Matt said he seemed to enjoy it. He even got to eat supper in the dugout in the middle of the second inning:):)

Thats about all for now. I will post some pictures when I get a chance!! Take care and enjoy the nice weather!!
