A week of Firsts

First Giggles

Well, he finally did it! Austin giggled for the first time last Monday (Sept 3rd). What a sweet sound! We are now working on the rolling over thing...he is getting close!

First "Play Date"

Austin had his first play date this week. His sweet little cousin, Berklee, has been begging to get to spend time with him. So, we had her over last Thursday. She had so much fun with him that she didn't want to go home! Sorry Jenn!

First Trip to the Park

While Berklee was over, we walked to the neighborhood park. Austin is now big enough to sit up in his stroller...if it is reclined slightly. That does mean less hauling around of the infant seat though!

Austin also had his first trip down the slide at the park. It isn't the best picture, because it is off the cell phone! I don't know how much he enjoyed it, but it was fun to try!

First Trip to the Zoo

Saturday, we decided to go the zoo...our first little family adventure! It was beautiful outside, and we were obviously not the only people who chose to take advantage of it and go to the zoo. It was fun. Salt Lake doesn't have the most exciting zoo, but it was nice to just get out and do something. Austin seemed to be more interested in watching us than looking at any of the animals.

Aren't they cute?

Just a sweet picture of momma loving on her boy

There is a bear in the picture...do you see it?

First Canning Adventures

I had my first attempt at canning spaghetti sauce this week. I used tomatoes out of the garden and everything! We have to wait a couple months...then try it to see how successful it was!
