Halloween time!

I can’t believe am now 6 months old! This is half of a year! I now weigh 15 pounds and 13 ounces. I am 26.4 inches tall. My weight hasn’t changed much, so I am now drinking formula. I didn’t like it at first, but its okay. This has been a fun month full of new discoveries. I enjoy playing with my brother a lot. He is lots of fun! Mommy and daddy went out of town to the beach this month, so grandma GiGi came to stay with Austin and I. We had a great time! Mommy called and talked to Austin and he said "I love you mama!" Mommy was so happy! For Halloween we got to carve a pumpkin and go trick or treating. We got to be Pebbles and BamBam. Not sure who they are, but mommy and GiGi made our costumes. We sure were cute! This has been a hard time for Austin and I. Mommy got and job with the hospital. It didnt effect me much, but Austin is having a hard time adjusting. Neighbor Sharon comes to watch us in the afternoons until daddy gets home from work. I have been very busy this month trying to get around. Never a dull moment in the Howard house!

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!
