Fall time

I am now 5 months old! I weigh 15 pounds, 1 ounce and I am 25 1/2 inches tall! I am getting so big now! Austin is 37 inches and 32 pounds. I love to make loud squeal noises that drive everyone crazy! I don’t know why people cannot understand what I am trying to say! Austin has been having a good time at school. He did get into some trouble, but he is getting better. He likes to pile toys on top of my, so that I have something to play with on our five minute drive to drop him off at school. Grandma GiGi came into town and helped mommy make our Halloween costumes. Austin and I are going to be Pepples and BamBam, whoever they are. Austin likes to run around screaming BamBam, it must be fun, I am not quite sure. It is now football season, so that is what we do on Saturdays now. We watch football all day! I am not sure the point really, all they do is throw the ball, tackle each other and run around. Austin likes to yell “Roll Tide” all the time now. Daddy taught him that. Not sure what it means, but mommy doesn’t like it. My favorite things to do right now are chew on my finger, eat cereal, playing in my Exersaucer, playing in my car (Austin pushes me around in it) and play with my brother. The weather is starting to get nice, so we have been spending a lot of time outside. I enjoy sitting on the deck with mommy watching Austin play on the playset. I also enjoy laughing, I am a little giggle box! I think I am getting this eating thing down too. Now, if I just had some teeth! :)

Scarlett 4 months old!

I am now 4 months old! This is a very changing time for me. I am learning how to manipulate and successfully use my extremities! I like to grab things and of course put them in my mouth. I have been napping a little less and playing more with my brother. He is so funny! I am sure enjoying playing with him, although he does still pester me a lot. This month Austin has been working on using the potty. Some days are better than others. I mean how hard can it be to just sit on the potty when you have to go! Geez! For my checkup this month I got lots of shots. I weigh 14 pounds and 16 ounces. I am 25 inches tall! This has been a fun month for me full of new experiences! I even got to go to the lake for the first time! I don’t like wearing my life jacket, but I LOVE to play in the water! I am a water baby just like my brother!

WHAT ABOUT ME !!!

Thanks to Aunt Chelsea I FINALLY get a voice in what goes on around here! Hi, it’s me Scarlett. Enough of what Austin has to say, it is MY turn now! I am now 3 months old and getting bigger (14 pds, 24 inches) and smarter. Pretty soon I will be able to do everything my brother can and probably better. He just doesn’t know it yet. I can roll to my side and I love to sit up and look around. I can push up really high when I am laying on my belly. I like watching my brother play, especially when he hurts himself. I like to giggle a lot too, my brother is pretty funny! Except for the fact that he calls me Scar T. I am kid of ill right now because I have a tooth coming through. Mommy had a really bad day with me at Olan Mills, but we were able to retake the pictures and I smiled real pretty for them! My teeth were just hurting really bad at the time. Daddy says I am very temperamental. I googled it and it says: Liable to unreasonable changes of mood. Come on daddy! I am not THAT bad, just a girl! Daddy finally finished the playset, I can’t wait until I am big enough to play on it, though I do enjoy my swing. The 4th of July is a pretty neat holiday! We had some friends and neighbors come over to eat and then we went to Wal-Mart to watch the fireworks. They sure were pretty! Then we got to play with some at the house too, it was a lot of fun! My daily activities including play on my playgym, sitting in my Bumbo, sitting in my Exersaucer and of course the normal eat, poop and sleep routine with brother harassing my all day long! He can be such a pest, but just you wait……his day will come!

Baby Scarlett at two month old!

This month Scarlett and I got to do something really cool! Grandma GiGi and Mommy took me and Scarlett to the Lazy 5 Ranch and we got to go on a wagon ride and see and feed some really cool animals! I jumped off the wagon a few times and GiGi had to get me back on. I only wanted to be closer to the animals. What’s the big deal? Needless to say Scarlett has had a very busy time since she was born! I fell face down in the mud before we went out to eat with Jose, so I got to take a shower for the first time with Daddy. It was so much fun! I also had graduation/promotion night at school. I stayed in place for the most part this time. We showed how we have learned our colors, well sort of anyways. My end of year school party was lots of fun. Mommy came and we had pizza, snacks and got to play in my pool! It was a lot of fun. Scarlett was there, but she slept in her car seat the whole time. Scarlett is getting big! She now weighs 11 pounds, 15 ounces and is 23 ½ inches long! Grandma GiGi came for Mommy’s birthday and I got to help her put icing on the cake she made. It was so much fun! I ask for cake all the time now! Daddy took us out to eat at Mommy’s favorite Mexican restaurant. It was a lot of fun and they made Mommy wear a silly hat and sing to her. We had a lot of fun!

My baby sister's first month!

The big day finally arrived! Mommy and Daddy left Saturday night to go to the hospital because Mommy was having contractions (whatever those are). My little sister was born on April 11, 2010 at 5:27 a.m. She weighed 8 pounds and 5 ounces and was 19 ½ inches long! Her name is Scarlett May Howard, but for now I can her Scar. Grandma GiGi came to stay with me while Mommy and Daddy were at the hospital with baby Scarlett. However, we did get to go see them each day! It has been quite and adjustment for me. It is hard to go from being the center of attention to having a little sister who gets a lot of attention from Mommy and Daddy. This was a busy month! Scarlett got to come to the parent appreciation breakfast at my school. People from church brought us dinners and came to see the baby. What is the big deal about seeing the baby anyways? Our pastor Carol came to visit too and she brought me some gifts! Woohoo! One day Jennifer, mommy’s friend from church, came and got me one day and I got to spend all day playing with Jack and Jake! Grandma and Grandpa Jackson came in for a quick weekend visit to see Scarlett and spend some time with me. We had a great time! Mommy and Daddy even got to go out for their anniversary (whatever that is). We also go to go eat much on the lake and get some frozen custards (which sound yucky, but are quite yummy). Then Grandma and Grandpa Howard came to visit for a week. Daddy and grandpa went fishing everyday! Then before we knew it, it was Mother’s Day, which is a day to celebrate mommies! Grandma GiGi came and we went out to eat dinner at Outback. It was lots of fun! At Scarlett's one month appointment she weighed 10 pounds 8 ounces and is 21 1/2 inches!

Spring 2010

The Georgia Jacksons Wedding

Uncle Greg and Aunt Dallas’s wedding was a blast! I got to go to the beach and play in the sand! I also got to play with some shaels (shells). I spent most of the time throwing sand up in the air on everyone! We stayed in a house on the beach with Grandpa Jackson, Grandma Mindy, Chris and Chelsea! I had a great time! Aunt Chelsea and Uncle Chris are so much fun to play with! Dallas looked so beautiful! And she is now legally my Aunt! Woohoo! I looked really handsome in my suit that Grandma GiGi got me! What a stud I am! Chicks dig me!

Jackson Wedding

Austin is 2 years old!

Can you believe I am now 2 years old and 30 pounds! Mommy is very behind on posting my messages on the blog, so here goes. Turning two was a very busy time for me. I am enjoying my new Cars room! It is great! I am such a big boy! I go to bed at 8 every night and I stay in my bed until mommy comes to get me up in the morning. I am still not saying a whole lot right now. Though my favorite works are Matter, truck, boat, trailer, wheel, tire and rose. When I don’t know what to say I just start rambling off about the boat and the truck and the tires. Hopefully communication will get better. Always a work in progress. My birthday party was a bog hit! We had mommies shower first and then my party. Aunt K K, Ella and Taylor came to stay with us that weekend! We had a great time! Grandpa Jackson, Grandma Mindy and Aunt Chelsea flew in as well. Also, Uncle Greg and Aunt Dallas came too! I am so loved! We had a wonderful time! Grandma GiGi made me a really cool Cars cake and Grandpa Mitch came too! Also, a lot of my friends from my different playgroups came too and daddy made bar-b-que! Yummy! My neighbor friends came over too! I have included pictures from my playgroup, me helping cook and oh, it snowed again after my birthday! Daddy and I had a great time playing in the snow! There is also a picture mommy took of me after lunch. Some days I am so tired that I fall asleep while I am eating my lunch, mommy thinks it is “cute.” The rest of the pictures are for my portfolio when I start my acting career! :)

Christmas 2009

This was a very busy time for me! I got lots of cool presents and I got to move into my own big boy room! Mommy and Daddy decorated it with Cars! I love it! Plus, I have my own bed. No more baby stuff for me! We also had a Christmas party at school with my friends. Then I had my star performance as a reindeer at school. The preacher called me the runaway reindeer, because I kept going off stage. Whatever that means! Anyways, I am sure I will be a star some day! I also got to go sledding in the snow with Daddy and the boys next door! We had a great time!

Holiday time!

22 months old! Well, I went to see Santa! What a scary man! Mommy said hopefully next year I will do better with Santa, I don’t think so Mommy. I am still having fun with my play group. Grandma and Grandpa Jackson sent me the coolest early Christmas present; it is a DVD player for the car! I love to watch Cars on it! I love Cars! I will not watch any other movie. We went to grandma GiGi’s and Grandpa Mitch’s for Thanksgiving. I got to eat lots of food and see Uncle Greg and Aunt Dallas. I had a great time playing with Uncle Greg! I also got to go to Monkey Joe’s one last time before they closed. Daddy got to come this time and he got to slide down the slides with me! I had a great time! We also put the tree up, which I am still not allowed to touch but very interested in the lights! I have also been going to chapel a lot a school now and also been practicing for my upcoming debut in the school Christmas program. I am going to star as a reindeer! Can’t wait for mommy and daddy to see me!

Mr. Independent

21 months old! What changing times these are! My personality is really starting to show through, as well as my red hair when it is long enough. My four wheeler is still my favorite outside activity. I am becoming very independent. I enjoy brushing my teeth and washing my hands. I am so proud of all that I can do! Sometimes I am a little big for my britches, but other than that all is well. I have an understanding of what I am to be doing in my time out chair. Halloween was a blast! Daddy and I had a great time carving the pumpkins that I picked at the pumpkin patch with my play group. Mommy baked the seeds for us and even made me some pumpkin muffins, yummy! I was Dr. Austin James Howard! Mommy and I went to a few houses. I sure love eating candy!
