Big boy car seat

We finally moved our little pumpkin into a toddler car seat. We got the forward facing seat for Kyles car, since Austin is only that car to and from daycare. Anytime we leave town or go out as a family we take mine.
We let him check it out, and he loved it. He gets so excited that he gets to sit forward in daddy's car and look out the windows like a big boy.

(I swear Austin doesnt live in pajamas.. It seems every picture on here he has bed head and is lounging)

No Fun

Our little guy hasnt been feeling the best. Took him to the doctor yesterday... Broncholitis/RSV.....
We will be giving him breathing treatments every 4 hours, which ends in both of us crying. He fights it so much, and we have to hold him down... breaks my heart. Will be a long weekend.

Big Hair

For those of you that know me- you know that I LOVE big hair!!! My friends would give me so much grief in college because it would take me a good two hours to get ready - What can I say- it takes time to get that "prom" hair just right :)
I cut 15 inches off after I had Austin, and Im ready to grow it back out. My Bump-Its are waiting to be used.
Check out this link-- talk about the perfect bump :) Or as it must be called in the south "Poof"... :)

Thankful

I came into work today to find gifts on my desk. They were wrapped and said "To a Good Boy- From Santa".
I asked around and no one knew who they were from. Well, finally I figured it out. A girl that I work with is teaching her 10 year old daughter the importance of giving.
And she wanted to buy something for Austin. Her daughter even used her own money to get him the gifts.
We are so blessed to have such great friends. All to often we get caught up in ourselves and materialistic things. I am so thankful that she thought of Austin, and that she would do that out of the kindness of her heart.
I am looking forward to instilling these values in Austin :)

Little Elf

We pulled the Christmas PJ's out last night. And I couldn't stop hugging and cuddling with my little elf.
He is surprisingly a very good listener and doesn't bother the Christmas tree, or the cat food, and never goes by the stairs.
But I wanted a picture of him in front of the tree, he sat pretty well. I hope he doesn't dash for the tree tonight when we get home :)

Birthday Presents!!

Austin had been fighting a cold, and was not a happy camper. So we cancelled his Birthday Party :(
I didnt want him to get worse, or to get anyone else sick. So he opened his presents at home, and wasnt too sure why we were staring at him with the camera and video-camera :)

I didnt bother changing his stained shirt, or trying to comb down his lovely bedhead. We will always remember how the first birthday didnt go exaclty according to plan.

O Christmas Tree

I love following the blog "Kelly's Korner" and thought I would get crafty after seeing some neat tree toppers on her entry "Show us your life- Christmas Trees".
Typically I dont have the time or the patience to do scrapbooking-crafts-etc, but I thought I would give it a try.
I went to Hobby Lobby and gathered up the goodies, went home and spraypainted-curled ribbons- put glitter on pine cones, and felt like Martha Stewart ;)
I am happy with the outcome- although its not exactly what I had pictured.
