Santa (Nana) came early to our house

We got our membership to the Discovery Center

So Rebecca and I took Austin and Jet for a play date

They had a BLAST!

Austin's BIG News

Read his shirt

We are Expecting Baby #2- June 20, 2011

We are so excited

The babies will be 18 months apart.

Funny story:

As they were rolling my to recovery last Dec (When we had Austin)

Chris told the nurses thanks and that we would be back in 18 months!!

They of course looked at me- like surly he was crazy

And I said we WILL BE BACK:)

God is so GOOD!

We had a sonogram this morning and baby looks great- 182 BPM

Next appointment Dec 6th

I will keep everyone updated

I feel GREAT- besides being tried.

Hi Mom

He LOVES his Chuck the Truck

He REALLY wants the camera

Standing up- ready to take off

What is Austin Up to These Days?

He wears size 3 diapers, Size 12-18 month clothes, size 4 shoes

He sleeps from 7:30pm to 6:30am ish..

He has 3 (6oz) bottles of formula

we have started to introduce whole milk

He eats 3 meals a day and sometimes an afternoon snack

He will eat anything- lasagna, scramble eggs, chicken and rice, potato soup, and pudding are a few things he tried this month

He is always in motion and on the GO... he really keeps us on our toes

He LOVES to clear off the end tables

He LOVES to play with anything that is NOT a toy-

we have 500 toys and he like to play with the trash can or the cords

He has two teeth on the bottom and 2 on the top

He says: mama, dada, nana, night night, dog, duck,

He LOVES to share his food with you

If you say bring me the ball, he will bring you the ball

He knows the word NO, but he LIKES to test the waters

He can do a flip- he tucks his head and rolls over (with Chris' help)

He LIKES to put the blocks into the container and then dump them out

He is starting to stand on his own- he will let go for a few seconds but then leans for you

I can not believe in less then one month I will have a 1 year old.

This has been the best year, I have enjoyed watching him reach so many milestones.

He is the happiest, easy going baby!

Stay tune for the BIG BIRTHDAY adventures
