I can't believe Austin's first year is over. Each time I am able to hold him still I just smile in amazement at how well he fits into our family. He looks more and more like me and less and less like daddy! We're amazed at how totally different than Reagan he is. Reagan could snuggle in your arms and gaze at you for hours. Austin only looks around you to see what's going on. He is in constant motion if you are trying to hold him still, but will sit for long periods of time if you want him to come to you quickly.
In the past year he has grown to a whopping 23 pounds and is about 28" long-(hard to keep him still long enough to measure), gotten 6 teeth, and can say dada, mama, nana, and papa, dada (dog) and "guys". We're pretty sure he only knows what one of those means...guys (Anthony and Reagan). He started crawling at 6 months and walking at 10 months....and he never looked back.
His namesake Austin Kerby went to be with the Lord after 93 years here on this earth, baby Austin attended the funeral.
Overall Austin has been much healthier of a baby than his sister was. We only dealt with 2 ear infections, pink eye, and some occasional breathing treatments. He is delighted to be held by people and loves to watch kids play. I do sense a bit of a temper coming, but we'll see if we can squash that before he gets too comfortable!
Did anyone say "time to eat"? This boy loves to eat! He is more and more like his mommy everyday! He is not a picky eater, but does inspect everything before you put it into him mouth...that he gets from daddy. His favorite foods are any types of bread, mashed potatoes and Aunt Shelley's sour cream/paprika chicken and rice (he does a little dance for this one).
I'm sad to see him grow so quickly, but happy that he is learning so much on his own joining the ranks of his big sister. We celebrated his first birthday with a cupcake cake that John John bought him and his family there to watch him smear it all over his face. If you don't know- my kids have very "gifty" birthdays being that they are in the same week of Christmas. As you can see he enjoyed his cake!
Happy Birthday Baby!
