Teddy Bear Thursday - Week 29

Week twenty-nine.

Austin is trying his very best to figure out this moving thing. He is constantly leaning forward, but then doesn't know what to do with his legs. He is also doing a lot of "talking".

What a Difference a Week Makes

Austin is much more enthusiastic about eating now. He loves his spoon and wants to help feed himself.

Here he is eating sweet potatoes and seems to be enjoying them, as long as there aren't any chunks.

Weekend Away

We got away this weekend to Hot Springs, Arkansas while GranMaMa and GranPaPa took care of Austin for us. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our time together. We stayed at Lookout Point Bed & Breakfast. It was so relaxing and peaceful.

Pictures from Garvan Woodland Gardens. This was a great place to walk and simply enjoy being outside.
Our one and only picture of the two of us from the weekend.

It was so relaxing to lay in the hammock and listen to the water cascading down the rocks.

This is the view of Lake Hamilton from the back porch of Lookout Point.

Pictures to come.

Texas Discovery Garden

Marian and Austin went to the Texas Discovery Gardens with Nana and Pa to the see the butterfly exhibit. They had a wonderful time and saw so many beautiful butterflies. It was well worth the visit.

Catching some rays. The butterflies like to bask in the sun just like turtles.
The butterflies were everywhere.

This butterfly is waiting to be released into the gardens. Austin was very interested in this zebra longwing.

Check out the color pattern and shape of this butterfly, amazing.

First Of Many

Austin went to his first football game on Tuesday night. Little does he know how many more he will be attending in his life. He had a great time watching the shiny pom-poms, bugs and maybe a little football.

There's Coach Yates doing his thing. Go Dad!
End of the night, Austin has been awake for almost seven hours with no hint of a nap and he is still smiling. He must have enjoyed his evening.
