What's new

Here are a few updates on what Austin can now accomplish and of course, a reason to post more pictures


* He can now walk / run without the assistance of momma or daddy. This is now his preferred method of travel. He is SO proud of himself. Practically every day he'll just walk/run figure 8's around the house laughing and smiling.
* He can give anyone who asks a high five

* He can drink out of a cup with minimal assistance

* He loves his straws and has been able to drink out of them without assistance for quite some time.

* After drinking water or milk, he'll shake his head and go "ahhhhhhh!" ---> What a HAM!

* Getting better and better at eating. Loves his fruit and carbs.

* He's now in a 'big boy' chair and is learning how to eat off a plate like the adults

* He's learning how to snap his fingers

* He knows how to lean into the slide to go down properly without assistance. He loves his slide that Grammie and Grandpa got him for his 1st birthday

* Gives kisses and hugs on command. Well, really when HE wants to

* Waves hi & bye

* He's learning how to blow (on food, on his pinwheel) and does it all the time

* He'll blow kisses at you. Melts our hearts every time!!!

* He does the perfect "Warrior" sound by putting his hand over his mouth to make that sound.

* Loves being outdoors (it was raining in this picture)

* When getting dressed, he'll give you his leg or arm when needed.

* He loves being read to AND he loves reading on his own
* He loves fishes and gets excited everytime he sees them
* Overall, he's one happy toddler exploring the world around him
