My oh my, time sure does fly! The best I can manage these days are 2 months lumped together at a time! But I figure that's better than nothing at all for my sweetest 3rd baby! Austin truly is an amazing addition to our family! These past couple of months have really brought out his personality! He truly is a sweetheart... a cuddler... a total lover... with a slight temper, but only if disturbed! ;)
These couple of months have also brought about some new milestones, namely in the way of teeth, as he managed to sprout four more... his two front teeth included... and two more on the bottom as well! :) He also likes to imitate quite a bit these days... He's starting to clap, he loves to wave, and will imitate saying "Mama" and on rare occasion, "Dada" ;) He also holds his arms outward when asked, "How big is Austin... SOOOO big." He really is quite the ham! He is also quite mobile, and to our great fortune, has already started climbing furniture! ;) And while I don't anticipate an early walker, Austin does stand independently for short periods of time... Blake and Addie get quite the kick out of it! :)
As far as size goes... Austin remains a whopper! Not abnormal or anything, just a good-sized kid! :) He weighs 23 pounds and measures 29 inches long, putting him in the 90th percentile for both weight and height! You'll see in the photos below that in a few more months Austin will likely match Abuelita in size! I think they'll love each other despite of it! ;)
In conclusion... Austin... you are loved... like you wouldn't believe! Blake & Addie truly cannot get enough of you and care for you like no other siblings I've ever seen! Seriously! And your Mommy and Daddy... well... we don't know how we survived without you! We can't wait to see you grow into our littlest boy! We also can't wait to see your interest grow in cars and trains (as you already seem to have a love for them) on your journey to your 10th month and beyond! We love you Bubba! :)
