My Three Sons. . . Livin' in Texas!: December 2006

Austin's First Year

Mommy put together a slide show of my first year, but it is still kind of a work in progress. Here is what she has so far! You may have to copy and paste it to your address bar.

Today is your birthday sweet boy. It is so hard to believe that a year has gone by, and you have changed so much. Each day we love you more and more, and it is impossible to believe that this love could grow any bigger, but it just keeps growing. We are so proud of you, and we know that you are going to grow up to be a wonderful person, but we want you to stay little for a long time! You are so close to walking, and it stirs up mixed emotions. Yes, we want you to walk, but once you do that you won't need us as much anymore, so we don't know how to feel about that! You started out in this world 9 lbs. and 6 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long. Now you weigh about 26 pounds and are close to 31 inches tall! My how you have grown. Stay as sweet as you are, and always know just how much you are loved.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Me and Santa

Mommy and I were just shopping at the Galleria one day when we met this wonderful person named Santa. I had no problem sitting in his lap and telling him all the things I wanted for Christmas like ..... world peace, some balls to play with, a Harley of my own, some sweet potatoes, balls to play with, a new house, balls to play with, a bike, balls to play with, and many more...but I won't bore you with the details.

Tunnels are so much fun!

I got this tunnel for an early birthday present, and it is so much fun. I love to crawl under anything that I can fit under so this tunnel is perfect for me. It has windows that I can look out of to see my dogs looking in at me. Jack loves to run inside it with me. I just love to crawl from one end to the other, and back and forth, over and over! Tunnels are so much fun!

Gig 'Em Aggies!

On the day after Thanksgiving, Mommy and I watched a really great football game. I sat in a special chair and was wearing all my special clothes, and Mommy kept saying all these different yells for her team. The only one I could say was "Aaaaaaaaaaa" as I am doing here. We were really excited when her Aggies beat the Longhorns this year.

Vroom vroom!

Pops showed me all the important information I need to know to ride a Harley. Uncle Chris even turned his motorcyle on and I sat on it. Man, are those Harley's loud! I can definitely see myself on one sometime in my future.
