My little man, Austin, is a very fiesty little boy. He does things on his own accord and is very independent (well, with most things)...even at his age! He will do things in his own time, in his own way. He loves to fling his little arms and legs anytime he gets the chance. Put him on the floor, and his looks like he is trying to swim away!! I bet if I put him in water, he would swim like a fish too! He loves to wiggle around; put him on one end of the room, and he will be on the other side in one minute!
Today he gave me such a fun little surpise! No it wasn't a huge poopy diaper either, although I did get one today! He has been hard at work with trying to crawl and trying to talk. It's all right there, just waiting for the brain to turn that little lightbulb on! He knows when he is doing something great. He hears me and Abbie everyday cheering him on and clapping and laughing with him. While playing on the floor today, out of the mouth of my little man came something I have been waiting to hear for nearly ten months! Rolling and wiggling around, "bababamamabababa" came out of his mouth!!! He has now found that handsome voice of his!!!!!!! Since that moment, he has been "talking" up a storm! But, if you ask me, his first word was "mama", not "dada"!!!
I got this whole thing on video, which is really surprising! Everytime he sees the camera, he usually stops everything he is doing, so this was a special moment! We clapped and gave him all the encouragement we could this morning! He giggled and wiggled, and smiled ear to ear! He knew it was a new thing that we would soon learn to love! Now only if he could crawl already!!!
On a different note, my little sister Sarah is coming to visit us this Friday!!!! I am more than excited for her to get here! I haven't seen her since Christmas, and I know she is just going to flip the minute she sees Abbie and Austin! They have grown soooo much since the last time she saw them! Austin was just 3 months old and about 6lbs and Abbie was 21 months old!! Can we say big difference, now that he is almost 10 months and 16lbs and Abbie is now 28 months old and a whopping 31.5lbs!?!?!?!? I don't think we really plan to do much, but it's nice to hang out with someone that isn't a little kid!!!
I know Friday, we are going to visit with the next door neighbor (actually the one across the street). She has horses that she is going to let Abbie pet and talk to! Abbie is going to love that! She has been so curious about those horses across the street for awhile now, and we are finally going over there Friday. The neighbor came over today and brought us some freshly picked sweet corn and told us to come on over! I'll fill you in afterwards!
Well, my free time is up....kiddo number 1 is waking up! Guess I'm back on duty!
