Park playing

And a random angelic, sleeping face. 


Hank can get around well at the park now. But you just have to stay on him to quit putting the rocks in his mouth. That boy!

Picnic with Grandma Rowland

We met at a shopping center in north Austin that I knew had some cool marble cows for climbing, but I didn't realize how much Charley and Hank would enjoy it. We spent over two hours climbing, exploring and just enjoying the nice weather and shady spots. Oh and collecting acorns (aka pulling them out of Hank's mouth constantly)!


Our little monkey in the monkey grass :-)

Hank has new toys!

Enjoying his very own tractor and fire truck. Of course big sister takes a turn as well. 





Hank's first birthday party!

We had a good crowd to help us celebrate, but I failed at getting many photos. Hank was not too sure of all the people as you can see, but Charley was totally in her element. As you can also see ;-)
 Hank spent a lot of time in his new truck being pushed around by anyone willing. 

 Hank was pretty much done by this point :-(

 Charley taking a turn with Anderson's Hulk mask. We may need to rethink her Halloween costume. 

Charley and cousin Sawyer played well together also. They are just  month apart.

Birthday boy!

It sounds cliche, but we just can't believe it's already been a year since Hank burst onto the scene. He is really a happy little guy and ALL boy! Give him a ball or a rock and he's entertained. His favorite thing right now is to play catch- as you can see in the last photo. He tolerates his helmet and (almost) daily physical therapy well. He's had his fair share of illnesses given big sister's germy toddler hands and being a Fall baby, but even his reflux days and early hospital visit seem like distant memories. We are crazy about him and can't wait to see what the future holds. 




         











Helping in the backyard

Charley and Hank helped and supervised the setup of washers and redneck golf for Hank's birthday party. 


Evening walks

We're starting to lose daylight, but we've been trying to get out most evenings for a stroll. We all really enjoy getting out!
