Wagon Rides, Anyone?


Okay, so Braden LOVES to pull things. He has this little wagon, that I am sure is not supposed to have over 10 lbs. in it, but yesterday he got this bright idea that Austin was just dying to be pulled in it. I saw him come out of his room all excited and talking to Austin about 2 inches from his face saying, "come on brohter, I will give you a ride, it will be fun!" (as he was attempting to put him in the wagon) So I put him in for just a short little ride and Braden thought this was the best thing ever! He pulled him in that for I bet 30 minutes before Austin was wagon sick. Now he wants to pull him every minute that Austin is awake.

Pictures . . . finally!



So I was putting off getting Austin's pictures done because in the past it has always been such a headache with Braden. Every time I took Braden to get pictures done he would seriously just scream. I could never figure it out and it was more stress on me than it was worth. But, I knew that I needed to get Austin's pictures done before he lost his chubby little round baby face. I was a little nervous but I scheduled the appointment and of course the only times they had available were the ones nobody else wanted because it was NAP TIME. But off to Target we went. I was explaining to Braden on the way there what was going to happen so for whatever reason he has a fear of studios he would at least know before going into it. Aaron was going to meet me there, but like his usual schedule he was just a few minutes late. So I took the boys into the store and put them in a cart and headed for the portrait studio. Without fail as soon as we arrived Braden instantly started to panic and practically jumped into my arms from the cart and gave me the death grip and began his usual routine for pictures. I was not to happy at that because I was afraid that he was going to scare Austin and then we would have the same senario with him. So I hurried and took Austin out of his car seat and put him on the blanket and told the lady to get to work! Braden was still standing in the corner saying, "hold me please mom just hold me." Just then Aaron arrived and 10 seconds later (it really was that fast) the lady told me we were finished! I am hoping it is a good thing that Austin was so pleasant and Braden was able to see that because we have a family picture scheduled for December. I am already dreading that day, but why would I expect to get a picture of Braden smiling when all the ones we have of him are either crying or making a sour face. But here is some pictures of Austin, and lets hope that he continues to be a good picture taker!!
