Time goes by much too quickly for my liking! It's hard to believe that our sweet little bundle of love is growing so fast! The big guy is weighing in at 23 pounds and is in the 90th percentile across the board for weight, height, and head circumfrence... or "perfectly proportioned" as Dr. Cu likes to say! He's definitely a sturdy guy!
His 6th and 7th months truly blurred together with some serious milestones! On August 15th his bottom two teeth made their way into his mouth and it was quite the dramatic week... not a happy teether I must say! He also decided that he would start crawling at 6 months and then start pulling up and cruising the following month! As exciting as all of these milestones are, they certainly managed to turn our world upside down... particularly with his mobility! Praise God for his big brother and sister who are HUGE helps in alerting me to small pieces on the floor and keeping him in safe zones!
Austin still has a great appetite and is eating a wide range of purees these days... his favorites are fruits of any kind (with the exception of melon... you should have seen his expression), carrots and sweet potatoes... he's a fan of chicken, but definitely not a favorite for him. A "favorite" usually involves little room for breathing and lots of consecutive mouthfuls!
And finally, this kid's personality is so very mellow! He truly is wonderful to have as our third with the peace he brings! He's definitely go-with-the-flow and is quick to crack a smile... all of which definitely makes him a Daddy's boy! :) Sweet baby Austin, we love you so dearly and can't imagine our family without you... it's like you've always been here! :) Until the 8th month....
{Here are some photos starting with his 6th month and moving into his 7th... some were intended to be edited and made super spiffy, but he's too cute to even worry about ideal backgrounds, etc.! My favorites are the last ones with him standing... his personality is all over his face!}
