19 Months Old!

The tractor needed a little work before we could get started...That's better!

Austin, at 19 months, you...

...love to point out stars.

...call every number or letter you see a "two!"

...love to color and every color is "BLUE!"
...enjoy feeding your animals and saying "mmmm" after each one eats.

...are going to bed like such a big boy! You let us know between 8:00 and 8:30 that it's time for a paci and woobie.

...have found a best friend in your Uncle Cee Cee.

...say "two" when you want to be picked up or put on the couch.

...have learned that no one can say no when you sweetly pull on their finger to get them where you want to go.

...pretend not to know what No means.

...have at least 11 teeth.
...have started to wear a few 2T shirts.

...added Owl, whoo-whoo, down (as in get down), in there, bee, buzzz, back (as in put my cup back), mote (remote), hat, more (as in I want more), corn, hay, eye, nose, mouth, ear, flower, blocks, keys, the end, loons (balloons), and many other words to your vocab.

...are getting very good at following directions. Go get mommy the phone...go give Daddy a drink (pretend, of course!)...go get a book...put your cows in the fence, etc.

...are a pill in church.

...are loved more then you'll ever know!

Love you, Buddy!



Blue!

Austin's latest craze is coloring. He'd do it from sun up to sun down if we'd let him. He's always asking for "blue, blue, blue!" We proudly hung his first piece of artwork on the fridge...
We try our best to keep all coloring activities in his high chair or at his picnic table, but a lot of times other things end up with little scribbles on them. Thank goodness for Magic Erasers!
Recently, he found out that stepping on the crayons (and breaking them) is just as fun as coloring. I had to do emergency surgery on old Blue a few nights ago. He pulled through and all was right again in the coloring world!

Boogie Woogie

One of the things I always recommend to my mom friends are Boogie Wipes. I found them at Wal-Mart shortly after Austin was born. I'm remember thinking they were probably a joke but gave in to my need to buy anything and everything that says "new!"

We were hooked after just a few uses. The Boogie Wipes make snotty noses so much easier to manage!

We were down to our last pack when Austin started with a runny nose earlier this week. On Wednesday night, I made sure I grabbed the lonely pack before leaving Nana's. I didn't want to spend a whole night chasing buggers with an ordinary Kleenex!

Of course I couldn't find them anywhere once we got home. I called Nana to see if maybe we had forgotten them at her house. Nope! I headed out to the garage to see if I had left them in the car.

This is what I found...I didn't leave them IN the car, I left them ON the car! The wipes had traveled from Nana's house to ours on the back of the car! I was so happy they didn't fall off! (Ignore the nasty car! The roads are still so yucky from the snow.)

We ♥ Boogie Wipes!!
