Look at Our BIG BOY

Bye Bye Crib

Austin is in his new toddler bed and loving every minute of it.

He is doing so good, (way better then i thought, I just knew he would be playing toys in the middle of the night:)

Eating ice cream- Great Grand Bill and Great Gaggy would be proud

Austin is 25 months

He is talking up a storm.

He keeps me laughing each day.

He is such a BIG help with Emma.

He lights up the room with his smile.

Some of he's phrases are: no way, yep, Austin sip it, everything is no play trucks and if he has a boo boo he says go to Doctor to fix it.

We trick him into eating his dinner by saying we are going to give it to Emma,

that seems to work for now:)

He is very polite Please and Thank yous

My heart melts when he says love ya mama or love ya daddy

He does not like Emma to touch his things- we are working on sharing

BUT he LOVES playing with her toys

He is wearing 3t shirts and 2t or 2t pants size 8 shoe and size 5 diapers

We have put potty training on hold for now- he was doing GREAT and then 2 hit and he is NOT into it at all, (Dr.H said closer to 3 is be much easier)

He has his share of tantrums but they are quick

He HATES to get his haircut

I love this little boy to the moon and back.

Happy 7 months!

Miss Emma Claire is 7 MONTHS! WOW

We love you!
Hi Baby Girl!
