My First Month in Austin

Dear Friends,

I decided to start this blog to keep all of my adoring fans up to date on all of the goings on of Bear Blanket and I. You see Bear Blanket (my best friend, besides mommy of course) and I have moved to Austin, away from all of our closest friends and family. We also have family and friends that are out of state that we would like to keep up to date also. So I know that we (Bear Blanket and I) are late getting started by a whole month, but you see there was a huge tragedy. Once we had gotten settled down here in Austin, Mommy and Daddy thought that they had lost Bear Blanket in the move. Can you believe it? They thought they had lost my best friend! So we continued to take pictures and make videos for the blog, but I wanted to hold out on posting anything, because I knew Bear Blanket would find his way home. And guess what! Today my favorite mommy in the whole world found him in the bag with all of the other stuffed animals!!!! I was so happy, I knew he would come home. So now that I feel comfortable with posting with Bear Blanket, I will update you on what has been going on for the past month with pictures and videos.

This is a video that mommy and I made our first week here:

We also have been going to the park since the weather has been nice and I got to go on a swing and slide for the first time.









We spend most days either going out with mommy and daddy or hanging out at the house and playing with my toys.

I have also been trying lots of new foods while we have lived here. I found out that I love bananas, oatmeal, zuchini, butternut squash, pears, apples, and bluberries. But do you know what Bear Blanket and I both hate? Peas!! They are really gross and they smell weird too. My mommy makes all of my baby food from scratch so I know that it is really good for me. She makes a bunch and then freezes it so it stays fresh for a long time.

.

My mommy even lets me try to feed myself sometimes.

And I also learned how to play a new game!

I have a had a really great time here in Austin for my 7th month of life. Tomorrow is my 8 month birthday and I look forward to seeing what adventures Bear Blanket and I will take. I will keep you updated and hopefully will see you all soon. We love you!
