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 5 months

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!

Scarlett 3 months old

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!
