SIX

Our middle man, Austin Carson, turned 6 years old on September 3rd. SIX! Or as we like to think of it, a whole hand plus 1! Austin is such a sweet and fun blessing to our family and this post is dedicated to him on his 6th birthday (or since I'm a little late, his 6th birthday month ☺)


A few fun facts about you as a newly turned 6 year old...

*You are an amazing brother. As the middle of 3 brothers you have the honor of being a little brother and a big brother and you are awesome at both. You LOVE your brothers, want to be with them constantly, play with them, forgive them, and encourage them. They are so blessed to have you as an older and younger brother!

*You are still our cautious and most safe child. You don't like adventures and thrills, new things or big things, and large crowds and shows aren't your favorite. You prefer to watch from a distance if you're unsure about something. I will say however that if you're comfortable and confident, you're a pro and have no fear. ☺

*You are a home-body and love being with your family. Movie nights, game nights, playing outside with Garrison and Layton, playing anything at home with daddy, and sitting in my lap and being read to or watching a movie are your favorites.

*You are a HUGE sports lover. You enjoy them all and can't get enough. You know the records and stats and not only follow our teams (Braves, Bulldogs, Falcons, United, Hawks), but you also follow whatever sport is current. You would choose to watch a game over almost anything these days. And collecting various sports cards is a hobby you love!


*You are doing great in Kindergarten! Even though we've discovered from your teachers that you are a pleaser and perfectionist (which is causing a little anxiety unfortunately), you are excelling at it all. We are so proud of you and thankful for your sweet teachers!

*You aren't as laid back as we once thought. Maybe it's part of growing up, maybe it's making the transition to Kindergarten, or maybe it's just a phase, but right now you are super conscientious and want everything to be just right... specifically when it comes to school and soccer. You've become a little tough on yourself which is very surprising to us because it's a first! And because you're pretty good at just about everything!


*You are still very sociable and friendly and are popular with everybody. You are a favorite in almost every setting and your sweet, funny, and loving personality makes you irresistible.

*Your primary love language is still physical touch. You like being close to us, sitting in our laps, laying in our laps, and you still asked to be carried up the stairs pretty regularly too. ☺ You love giving hugs, receiving hugs, and are super affectionate. You are a cuddle bug for sure.


*You love tacos, fidget spinners, your family, scrambled hamburgers, the beach, superheros, Pokemon, sports, doing everything with or like Garrison, candy, Taco Bell, school breaks, all kinds of chips, and playing football on the iPad. 

You are the sweetest, funniest, most lovable and charming 6 year old we know! You are our very favorite middle man and we are so thankful God gave us you! Happy Belated Birthday Austin Selph!! We love you more than you'll ever know!
