Happy 1st Birthday Austin!!


I can't believe it's been a year already. My baby is growing so fast. He isn't quite walking on his own yet, but he's close. He has 6 teeth and is working on another. He laughs alot and loves to hang out with his sister and brothers. He especially loves it when Ashleigh sings to him. He makes us laugh with the things that he is doing. We call him the family billy goat, he is always head butting people and furniture. It will be nice once he starts walking so that he won't go head first into anything in his path. This last week we were at the cabin and he discovered stairs and ladders. He loves to climb now, yesterday I caught him trying to climb the ladder to the top bunk bed. Boy do I have my hands full or what?! Austin is a great eater, he loves anything we give him, as long as it's not baby food. I have finally been able to cut back to just a bedtime nursing and we are just waiting for the day that he starts sleeping through the night. Hopefully that will be any day now:) He is also starting to give really good kisses and he waves hi and goodbye as well.

Austin is such a joy to have around. You would think after a year that the older kids wouldn't be so interested in him, but they still fight over who was playing with him first or who is going to sit by him in the car. It's really kind of sweet that they love him so much and he returns the love all the time.
