loving outside...

Austin is loving playing outside. On bad days he just sits in front of the windows and pounds on the windows. Last weekend we got out and cleaned up the yard. The boys loved burning the weeds and leaves. We are excited for summer!!

licorice...

7 months

Austin!

Hey little man.. this is a couple weeks late...but you are now 7 1/2 months old. Little man you are getting so big and so fun. You love to make everyone laugh. You have this crazy sense of humor... Right now your favorite game is dropping everything on the floor and watching everyone pick it up. It just makes you laugh and laugh. You also love licorice. You don't eat it but you love to hold it in front of my mouth and when i go to take a bite you move it really fast and hide it. You think you are so funny. Your faveorite toys are you giraffes. They go everywhere with you. You love to play with your cousin Paislee and your friend Quincy. They love to jabber to you and you just stare at them. For the most part you are pretty quiet. You can tell that you are a thinker. And if everyone is quiet then you will jabber and be really loud. When you are mad or you want out of your bed you say MOM! That is the only real word that we can understand. You really want to crawl..but you just can't figure it out. Instead you flop onto your belly put your head on the floor and swim. And when you don't go anywhere you just roll. You love your walker....your favorite part of the day is helping load the dishwasher. You love to throw your toys and binky in the dishwasher. You are still a big eater. You love FOOD. But you hate your high chair. You are my cuddle bug and I love it! Thanks for being my little man. Love you!

Month 6

Austin-

Little man you are getting so big and so fun! You now weigh 16 pds. 9 oz. (32 %) your Ht. is 27 inches (71st %) and your head is 17.5 (70 %). Your cheeks are still puffy as ever. There are 3 things that people comment you on... your cheeks, your thick eyebrows and your eyelashes. Personally i can not resist your cheeks. You now make funny faces...you love your tounge! If it is not sticking out then your lip is. I wish i could get a picture of the lip ...but you stop everytime i pull the camera out. You are moving and rolling all over the place. You are so close to crawling. You want to but instead of keeping your head up and put your nose into the ground and it looks like you are swimming in place. It is so cute! You sit up all by your self and rarely fall over. You are such a good eater. You love everything we give you. Your faveorite right now are prunes and squash. For the past week you have been sleeping 9-12 hours straight! Thank you!!! I hope this is a new routine! You are such a happy baby! One of my faveorite things about you is...you love to cuddle! I am soaking it all up because I know it wont be that way forever. I love you little man!

Month 4
Austin my little man...we had a crazy month. You went to your first day of daycare. It was so hard to leave you but you did so great. I on the other hand was pretty heart broken... A few hours after I picked you up from daycare I got a phone call from your dad and he said he got a job offer in Utah. YES!! We didnt think twice about it. We then had 3 weeks to pack everything up and say our goodbyes. Well the first 2 weeks of packing were pretty rough. You got RSV. We had a breathing treatment machine in our house and you had to do treatments every 4 hours. You were such a trooper through it all. You now live in Daniels in our new(old farm house)house. You love to play in your bouncer and look out the windows and watch it snow. You are not a fan of playing alone though...which is great because Paislee now lives right around the corner. We celebrated your first christmas with all of the family. You loved to listen and touch the wrapping paper. I think you would have been happy with a roll of paper. Your grandparents spoiled you. You also went to your first New Years Eve party at Jake and Megans. You played with Paislee and Quincy. I love that you are all close in age and will grow up together. Thanks for being such a great baby. I love you little man!

Month 5
You are getting so big and I hate it. You don't like being rocked to sleep anymore. So i am soaking up all the cuddle time that I can get. You love to touch everyones face and hair ( I think when you are older you are going to be one of those guys that likes girls with long hair). You think your dad is pretty funny..i love how he makes you laugh. You have the best smile. You are now eating solids. You love to eat and it shows :) Your favorites are avacados and carrots. You get all upset when they are gone. You are so strong and now sit up by yourself. When you tip over you frown and look up at me like mom why did you push me over. It always makes me giggle. Thanks for being my best friend. I love you little man!
