14 Months

Not too shabby! He loves to feed himself.

 Well, Austin is all over the place. On Feb 11th he started taking steps with us noticing. Before, if we ever saw him standing he would sit right down like you can't see what I am doing, not yet. Then, on Feb 28th he started full on walking. He at first looked like Frankenstein monster, his arms up in the air, bending his knees only enough to walk forward. It was so funny to watch him! Then, by the weekend he was confident and walking normal. He is getting faster and faster each day.

Shape Sorter

His cute PJ's that Auntie Lissa got him. Love the robe with it!

Here are some things that he loves:
*Read! He will say ba and point at a book, then turn around and sit down on our lap for us to read to him
*Eat - he loves to eat, especially yogurt and banana's. All you have to say is "would you like a na-na?" and he starts loudly saying "nana, nana, NANA!" and walks over to his chair. As soon as we get to one of his wonderful babysitters, he grabs the bananas out of the bag and goes straight to his chair.
*Outside - if this kid could be outside all day, he would be. He even knows how to get out the door by turning around and going out the door and down the step backwards.
*Walk - he will grab his diaper bag and just walk around the house like he is doing laps. This will go on for 20 minutes at a time.
*He loves using his color sorter that I made for him. He uses pipe cleaners and puts them in the holes that I made on a Crystal Light container. This is great for church.
*Blankets - when he sees one of his blankets he gets really excited, grabs it, and snuggles down into it.
*Baths - he would be happy to play in the bath for 30 minutes, pruny fingers and all.
*His push cart - He loves to stand and sit in it.

Other fun things:
*He can say Jesus, banana, mom, dad, bye, this, that, gus, car, yum, uh-oh, book, cheese, moo,
*He has started laughing when we are laughing which is funny because he doesn't know what we are laughing at.
*He can fake laugh
*Loves to snort!
*Gets really excited when he sees a stuffed animal
*Has learned to climb the couch

Here are some stats on the boy:
*12 teeth - all 1 year molars are in
*32 in. tall - he grew 11 inches in his first year! WOW!
*24 lbs. 5 oz.

Loves to slide!
