Crib Notes - Week 37

Yea!  I got to go to Jackson this week.  I got to see Sassy, Mr. Jim, Poppie, Mama Shoe, Aunt Phyllis, Aunt Shay, Carly, and Reed!  They couldn't believe how big I've gotten since Christmas especially when I showed off all my new talents.

I've got to get focused on learning a lot of new things, though, if I'm going to keep up with Carly and Reed.  You wouldn't believe some of the things they can do.  They can build big block towers, but I can knock them down!  Carly can read and work the computer.  Reed can use a fork and make his cars go zooming across the floor.  They both run, jump, climb, and play.  This whole "look at me I'm sitting up" thing isn't quite as impressive when I'm around really big kids like Carly and Reed.  Focus.  Must.  Focus.

Look at the camera, Austin!

Sassy may just be the best cook on the planet.  Her sweet potatoes are so much better than Mommy's!  Sassy says it has something to do with brown sugar, which Mommy says I'm not supposed to have.  Sassy says I can have it at her house.  Aren't grandmothers the best?

Speaking of great things, have you met Aunt Shay?  She makes me laugh and laugh.  I got to eat lima beans and baked beans when Aunt Shay gave me dinner.  Yum!

 Mr. Jim acts all tough.  At first, I thought he was pretty cranky, but I learned he is just a big teddy bear.  He let me play his piano again!

Carly helped Mommy watch me.  She is a really good babysitter.  She played with me and held my hand so I wouldn't cry.  I bet she would have read me a book if we had had more time.  Speaking of books, I got to borrow some of Carly's and Reed's books.  They have the best stuff!

Mama Shoe finally got to hold me, and we had so much fun.  I don't think I'm the first baby Mama Shoe has held because she is really good at it.  I wonder what other babies she held before me...  I didn't get to visit with Mama Shoe and Poppie very long because there were tornadoes.  We had to get back to Sassy's before the storms hit.  I was so worried about the storms that I took a really long nap.
