15 Months Old

12 Months - 13 Months - 14 Months

Austin, at 15 months...

You cover your eyes when we ask "where is Austin?"

You love to throw food.

You use a plate at dinner but you're still trying to figure out your spoon and fork.

Your favorite food is "ish" (Goldfish) - Cheese, Chocolate or S'mores!Corn is your favorite vegetable.

Getting into the cabinets, toilet and trash is a favorite past time.

We used up all of your diaper money on your 14-month birthday! Time for you to get a job!
You hog the bed.

You love when Dad throws you in the air and mom screams that "that's too high!"

You're a biter

You can't resits your Mama's hair.

You've added Shoe, Horse and Sheep to your vocab. (We can understand them anyway!)

Anything with wheels is a truck!

You blow on anything we say is hot. Lamps, outlets, etc!

Mr. & Mrs. Coats - 10.10.09

We attended the prettiest fall wedding last weekend. There was so much thought put into every little detail. From the ribbons in the brides hair...to the yummy pecans at the reception. Everything was done so nice!
Of course I stressed and stressed about what everyone was going to wear. I needed a purple dress, Dad needed a new tie and Austin needed an entire ensemble. Everything finally came together after a late-night run to Wal-Mart for size 5 dress shoes for Austin. I was so worried he'd have to end up in light-up Bob The Builder shoes but wouldn't you know that Wal-Mart has shoes just as cute at The Children's Place. We should have looked there first! Austin loved them so much that insisted we shouldn't hide them under the table. He wanted them displayed on the table where everyone could see!
Of course we forgot to take a family picture! Good thing we got a good one with Nana and Pa!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Coats! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

Pumpkin Patch - 2009

We made a quick trip to the pumpkin patch on a Wednesday afternoon. Thank goodness Dad was home early enough because Mom was convinced it would be the last good pumpkin patch day! It was very sunny that day. Too bad Austin didn't have cool shades like he did last year!
We took a little stroll towards the patch but decided, with our limited time, it was probably better to buy the pumpkins that were already picked!
First we had to check out all the cool stuff in the play area.
Then we TRIED to get some neat photos...
It was finally time to pick out our pumpkins!
Pumpkin Patch pictures with Mom and Dad...
We were ready to head home once our wagon was full!
We love having a pumpkin patch so close to our house. Finally a family friendly activity we don't have to drive miles for!

Wordless Wednesday - Biter

Craft Fair!

Dad may love fall for hunting, but Mom loves it for craft fairs! Going to the Lebanon craft fair with a 14-month-old this year was a little different then going with a 12-week-old last year!
We didn't have any blow outs and we didn't have to deal with nursing in the visitor's center, but we did have a little boy who didn't want to stay in his stroller!
We tried to keep him bundled up as much as we could!
Of course he had to get another "Austin" pumpkin! It looks a lot like the one from last year! Thanks, Aunt Lo Lo!
Aunt B's booth looked so nice!
We decided to head inside to eat since it was so chilly. Austin did really well with his grilled cheese and french fries. He must have been worn out from all of the shopping because he fell asleep right there at the table!What a fun day! We can't wait until next year. I wonder what it will be like with a 26-month-old!?!?
