Just Because...

...I love this boy!

We're still here!

We just wanted to let everyone know that we're still here! We have plenty of stuff to update you on -- confirmation, graduations and random fun -- but there just aren't enough hours in the day when you have an almost-two-year-old! (There, I said it! I'm slowly facing reality that my baby is almost two!)

Wordless Wednesday: Reading

Rainy Days

What do you do when your parents are off for four days and it rains every single day?

You get out every single toy you have...
And what do you do when all the toys are out?

You play in the toy box!

Austin, at 22 months...

You like to randomly tell us "hi!"

You started calling me "mom." Not mommy or mama. Just Mom.

You started asking to "help" with things -- laundry, dishes, dinner, etc.

You randomly put your hand to your mouth and clear your throat.You say "whelp" if we ask you what Pa says

You pronounce your name "Tin-tin!"

You get excited about brushing your teeth until it's time to actually do it.

You claim that every baby is "sad" and "cr-eye-ing."You had your first busted lip.

You say "sure" after you say you don't want to do something...Just to make sure we know you're positive.

You like to "try it" everything yourselfYou try to repeat everything we say.

You started announcing when you go #2, but you deny it as soon as we ask.

You're turning into a little boy way too fast!

We love you!
