Eat my shorts Bugs Bunny

That's right, we have started to introduce the fun stuff. Peas were first, my logic was start with the worst stuff possible and it can only get better. Needless to say we won't be going back to peas anytime soon. This week we are on to carrots. I would like to say that Austin loved them and can't wait for more but I really don't know who I would be fooling with that statement. I must admit though, carrots were like a double whammy, they were eaqually exciting coming out of both ends. :-)

Austin ROCKS!!!

First and foremost we need to thank Zachary C. for hooking Austin up with the authentic "Austin Rocks" t-shirt from none other then Austin, TX. This weekend Austin really did rock. We went with his buddy Xochitl to a blues festival in Shaver Lake, CA. Austin had a great time watching Xochtil make her parents chase her around ALL DAY LONG!! I just hope he didn't get any crazy ideas from her.

A Barba get together

Two weekends ago Austin officially became a Barba. This was his first Barba family gathering. This meant it was Grandma Sally's official job to tote this handsome little guy around and brag to all of her relatives how much cuter her grandson is than theirs. As you can also see the official dress code for any Barba gathering requires a Hawaiian shirt.

A hard day's night

Okay, so on Thursday's and Friday's it's Daddy Day care at our house. That means Austin, Adrian and Raumi are left to their own devices. This past Thursday I came home to Austin napping in his swing and these two clearly over worked and taking a nap of their own. I think I want a refund on my "guard dog". ;-)

Sweet Child O' Mine

Okay, so you might say I am stuck in the 90's, but I was a die hard Gun's & Roses fan. I had almost the same shirt that a friend brought me from one of their concerts. I guess these two pictures of Austin demonstrate even though we dress him straight off of Gap's clearance rack I am still a metal head at heart. Happy four month Austin.

Go Dogs!!!

If you are going to have any Jenkins blood flowing through you, then you are required to be a Fresno State Bulldog fan (unless you went to SDSU then your loyalty can waiver). Anyhow, Austin got to watch his first FSU game this past weekend in his full Red Wave attire including his foam finger. (and for anyone who may work for CPS, no we don't leave him on the counter in his Bumbo chair...but we do let him play with plastic bags :-)

Prime Rib for Babies

That's right, Austin was intoduced to his first dose of soggy cardboard....er, us I meant to say Rice cereal. I would like to say that it has had this amazing effect on his diet, sleeping habits and our fomula bill each month but we are still trying to figure out the logistics of this whole spoon thing. It is amazing to see his look of rejection when we put the spoon to his mouth especially since he seems to think that EVERYTHING else belongs in his mouth. Next week we will be having pureed New York steak. That way he will be ready for his next journey to Brawley.

Tia Andrea

Austin's Aunt Andrea had been working at a Fitness camp all summer long, by the time she got back I think she wanted Austin to be one of her recruits for next summer. We keep telling him that those rolls on his thighs are only going to be cute for so long :-)
