Two months - Hard to believe

It is hard to believe Austin has been in our lives for only two months. Each day he learns so many new things. I went back to work on the 31st and he went to Preschool on the 2nd. He did fantastic! Mom and Dad, on the other hand, were a wreck. He is so proud of his accomplishments. He points to his art work and himself and grins from ear-to-ear. When asked who made this "Austin" he answers as proud as a peacock. It is a joy to see his pride. He has mastered many things in a short amount of time and always, always wants to do things himself. He really only needs supervision at bath time and just a little extra brushing of his teeth.

Christmas brought all kinds of new adventure. He traveled to KC to meet his "Gammy" and stole her heart completely. They had tons of fun taking pictures and taking turns wearing Austin's bright yellow sunglasses. He had another big Christmas at his Aunt Ginny and Uncle Bill's. His cousin Marcus gave him toys and books he had so much fun playing with when he was younger. He had another big Christmas at his Grannys and PaPa Tom's where he met many more Aunts and Uncles and cousins and of course many more presents. Remote control was the theme this year and needless to say Austin LOVED the idea!

BILL, did I say BILL, bought him a 4-wheeler and is teaching him to ride. I must say it gives me heart palpatations from fear and butterflies from the joy I see all over father and son's faces...hey I am just gratefull it is not blood.

We are teaching him all kinds of phrases, some of which we shouldn't have. "Austin tooted" is one of his favorites and he uses it in context..trust us! He has learned major body parts and is picking up favorite foods quickly, banana, milk, juice, cookies and I think his all time favorite "yoger" (yogurt).

He is so funny getting ready. He likes his hair gelled like his daddy's and loves wearing cologne..."Austin is a handsome boy"...we are also teaching him to be humble (ha!ha!).

Will sign off for now as it is his bed time...forever blessed B & K
