Week 13

This week was definitely fun-filled and swift! We started out with a great, surprise visit from my old college friend Sophia. She had just two days in town before having to head back to London and managed to fit in visits with four new babies! It was a short visit but always a great time catching up with her.

One of Kevin's bosses has season tickets to the local minor league baseball team, the Round Rock Express. He travels quite often and is always more than willing to share his seats for the games that he can't attend. Thanks to Roy, we've seen a few games over the years, and were able to take Augie to his first one this week! He really seemed to enjoy himself despite the bright lights and the loud crowd. He quietly sat in our laps and took in the atmosphere. He even had his first celebrity sighting as Will Ferrell made an appearance as the pitcher 'Rojo Johnson'. It was a great experience for all of us and further proves that this little guy is easy to take almost anywhere!

On a bit of a down note, August sustained his first minor injury this week. He unfortunately had a run in with Daddy's thumbnail, and it left a nice, small, deep gash on the right side of his head. Kevin of course felt awful but I reminded him that it was quite minor and is definitely just the first of many to come!

Finally this week, we added another baby contraption to our repertoire. Other than napping and tons of snuggling, August spends his days rotating between his swing, his bouncer, his baby gyms, his doorway jumper, and now he has a Bumbo to add to the circuit. It's a molded seat that is made to help younger babies sit up with assistance. You can just see the pride in this little guy's eyes when we place him in his seat...that is until his head get's too heavy and starts wobbling all over the place.

All in all, it was a great, busy week for our family. August continues to show more and more personality with each passing day!
