11 month adventures!

I am one hundred percent, head over heels, crazy in love with this baby little boy. And I am even more in denial that this sweet little peanut will be one next month! I don't even know how or when this happened but my little Austin some how went from baby to little boy over night. I don't even know how I missed him getting so big through his fifth gear speed crawling, head butting, bumps and bruises, furniture cruising, assisted steps, and hearty chuckles. But I accept the facts, my handsome boy is 11 months old today and about to walk right into his first birthday!



Right above his birth mark, you can see the goose egg that continually maintains a bruise since this seems to be the side of his head he prefers to bonk.

 What Austin is doing:

* He pulls himself up onto EVERYTHING! Walking is a matter of time....BOO!! :(
* He loves big boy food, especially chicken, cheese, strawberries, and sweet potatoes. And by big boy, he is not into the purees, he loves the chunks. He is a foodie like his mama!!
* Wrinkles his nose: It's the cutest thing. He squints his eyes and wrinkles his nose.
* He loves Thomas the Train and Super Why. He doesn't get a lot of TV time but the opening jingles definitely get his attention.
* We are down to two naps a day but he thankfully, he does them willingly and sometimes takes extra long naps so mommy can either get her work done or spend time with big brother Andrew
* He cut 4, yes that's right, 4 teeth last month!! It was rough!! Little man now has 8 teeth!
* Austin likes to copy his big brother. I know this sounds like a no brainer and probably a very common tale amongst siblings but Austin can't wait to be big like Andrew. He follows Andrew all over the house and is trying to mimic noises, laughs, and giggles!
* He is a long and lean machine! Energizer Bunny may be a more appropriate title!

It is an absolute joy and an honor being this little boy's mommy! Austin is such a ray of light and the happiest baby. He has the most cheerful disposition and sincerely, is so sweet! I am seriously in denial that 11 months past so quickly. Time sure flies when you are having fun!
