Almost 14 months

Just wanted to share a couple of new things that Austin has been doing. He is still using the word donnne to let us know when he is done with ANYTHING and everything. A couple of days ago he was sitting on his little time out chair and was starting to scooch off a little. I said, "no Austin, you need to sit there." Then he said, " all done." It was too cute. He has also been trying to feed us and give us toys to chew on (since our teeth MUST be hurting as well) He loves to take toys out of his little bins and put them back while saying, "back." We are all for that! :) He says his version of baby...and some other words as well. Last night Andrew asked him to get a blue block out of his dump truck. He picked up a blue one; then Andrew asked him to get a green one...he picked out a green one. Finally, Andrew asked him to pick out a yellow one thinking there was no way he would get a yellow one...but sure enough out came a yellow one....we are pretty sure it was chance...but still pretty crazy!
He went to the doctor yesterday and weighs 23 1/2 lbs and I am pretty sure he has grown at least an inch or two with how his pants are fitting these days! Thanks for reading!

Vacation for Mommy and Daddy and a whole week of spoiling for Austin!

Here is what Austin has been up to this last week! What a rough life! ;)
















Awww...look how much he missed us! ;)






















This is where Daddy and Mommy were......



This was our favorite restaurant!












Not all of the hammocks were touching the ground! :)










The streets of Play Del Carmen! The beach-a block away



This was the view from the table that we ate dinner at a couple of nights during the week. Only God could create such a beautiful ocean!

Sad to leave the sun and relaxation...but ready to fly Austin out to be with us. ;)



Back home all together!

Curiosity!

Sorry we have not posted in a while. Life around here has been busy! :) Austin has been getting more teeth, resulting in shorter naps during most days. He is a very curious little boy! His personality and strong-willed spirit has started to show more this last week. He may just be going through a stage. I can say that Andrew and I have really enjoyed watching him grow and change daily! :)
This last week he has really started to say donnnnnne more. It is so cute. We ask if he is all done after his meals and when he is done on the toilet and he is starting to catch on to the word. He just holds the "n" a little longer than normal. ;) He has also started to babble putting a lot of "his" words together. haha so much fun! Yesterday for the first time when Andrew and I opened our eyes from praying before dinner he was folding his hands. He has also realized this last week that he has the ability to scream. ;) He mostly chooses to do this in the car although he has chosen to use his little vocal cords when we take him away from something he is enjoying or when we try to help and he would like to do it himself. :)

Pictures to come! :)
