Bath time with Austin and 1 month check up

So this is technically Austins first real bath since he was born. We have had to do sponge baths because of his umbilical cord and then shortly after that because of his snip snip. So now that the snip snip is all healed, we can finally put him in a real bath. At first he didnt like it:

then he stopped crying and decided to think about it for a minute:

and then he decided he liked it and started kicking and splashing and getting me all wet.

We went to the dr's for his 1 month check up. He is now 8 lbs 6 oz and is 20 1/2" long. :)

4th of July 2011

For the 4th of July weekend we decided to go down to Arizona so that our families could meet Austin. We weren't sure the drive down and back was going to be pleasant with a newborn and a 2 year old, but overall they both did pretty good. On a related note, I would like to personally thank Polaroid for their portable dvd player and Disney for the movies Tangled and Cars. For had it not been for them, I probably would not have been able to make the statement I did above.

While in Arizona we did all sorts of fun things...we played games, went to Geckos, watched movies, ate good food, saw Sean and Jens new house, did a photoshoot with Austin, went swimming and ofcourse watched fireworks.

Paisley LOVED this ladder that is used to get in and out of my mother-in-laws pool.

Since Paisley really didn't want to have anything to do with the big pool (except for the ladder), we finally got smart and got Paisley her own little play pool. At first she didn't want to have anything to do with this pool as well, but after awhile she finally gave it a shot and a loved it.

It was soooooo hot while we were down there and for some reason Paisley would get out of the nice cool play pool and run onto the hot rocks and then run back to the pool to cool off her feet while saying "hot hot hot".

Ryan decided to introduce Paisley to the hose, and boy did she have fun getting herself (and any innocent bystander walking past her) soaking wet.

The Mormann's did thier own private firework show in Mary's frontyard and Paisley really liked it. She clapped after almost every firework that went off.

If you are wondering why there are not any pictures of Austin doing anything fun and exciting, its because this is what he was doing pretty much the whole weekend. :)

He Has His Own Personality...

I would love to know what he was thinking when he made this face. :)

Some of my guesses....

-thinking about lunchtime/snacktime/dinnertime
-practicing the Zoolander look
-puckering up for a kiss from Grandma
-practicing whistling so he can be good at it like his Grandpa
