Austin @ {18} months!!!

So unbelievable! A year and a half… Time flies when you’re having fun!

Austin, you mean so much to all of us. You are a snuggler, an entertainer, a mess maker, a noise maker, and EVERYTHING in between. ;) I cannot imagine our lives without you.

18 months-- I’m not sure on your weight. I’m guessing around 25 pounds. You are getting heavier to hold. Your 18 month appt. is Monday-- I’ll update the weight and height then. You can say: Mama, Dada, Katie, hi, nigh-nigh, cheese, what’s tha?, ewww, ball, nana (banana) and mi (milk). I’m sure there are a few that we just haven’t figured out yet. LOL You play games with Daddy and your bros: basketball, tag and catch. You get so excited.

Some of the things that you love at this age: books (100 words book), cars! (you steal a car from your brothers’ room every single time you go in there), running, Katie, your cell phone, laughing, baths, being outside and bananas! You are a very routine kid. You have to put your ride on car in one spot of the house, if your brothers move it, you move it right back (and then give them a dirty look). It is quite funny to watch. You still don’t really watch tv, but you did watch a scene or two of Cars. You don’t even watch tv in the van-- bummer. You are getting better about longer car trips, but you still aren’t a huge fan.

A few things that you don’t like: socks, long car rides, falling down, showers, walking in the snow, being fed (you are very independent and like to hold the fork or spoon yourself), naps, hats and the tv remote being taken away from you.

You love music- you dance to whatever song comes on. You also play Just Dance with us (Wii). You don’t even have a remote-- you just do the moves that we do. You are pretty good at it, actually. One of the many funny things that you do.

I love you so much, Austin. I am so glad that you are such a happy and healthy baby. I am so lucky to have you as my little bubby!

Love, Mom

**update** Monday's check-up went well, 24 lbs. 32 inches tall. 24th percentile for height and weight. Little man is doing great!
