1.5 Years - Austin

Today my sweet little baby is 18 months old making him a year and a half.  To mark this milestone I thought it fitting to write 18 things about him, though there are so many things about Austin I could share these are my top 18:)  I LOVE YOU sweet, sweet boy.

1.Austin's vocabulary is growing daily.  He talks ALL the time.  Dada, hi, bye, tank u, ni ni (night night), dog, ba ba, ya ya, cat and more.  Basically anything we ask him to say he tries to say it.  However, it seems mama, has been lost in his vocabulary!
2.Speaking of mama, Austin is attached to me.  He clings to my leg anytime I need to leave without him (which isn't often).  If he is upset he wants me.  I have to be the one to put him to bed.  It is really sweet and just soaking up his love.
3.Chunky chunker legs and feet (his little fat feet have dimples and won't fit under most sandals!)
4.Loves water; bath, pool, outside water/sand table, hose - he loves it in any form.
5.Still has a bottle before bed.  I will let him do this until he is two.  Its whole milk and he LOVES it.
6.Hates TV - seriously.  There is nothing that even interests him to sit and watch.
7.Plays from the moment he gets up until nap time and then bed time.
8.Would stay outside all day if we let him and screams his head off when he has to come inside.
9.Loves his big brother and copies EVERYTHING he does.
10.Throws fits like no other.  He has a face that lets you know when he is sad and when he is mad he hits the ground - kind of comical, I just walk away.
11.Austin is loud.  He talks loud, tries to sing loud, screams loud, and if you turn soemthing up like the radio he just gets louder.
12.Hates strangers with a passion.  Won't stay at the gym daycare or MOPS.  Good excuse not to workout, but not so much for social time!
13.No is his favorite thing to say.  I hear it all day long, I bet he would say the same about me;)
14.Austin runs to the door when his daddy gets home full speed with his arms out - he likes daddy a lot.
15.Austin loves to eat especially healthy food like green beans, fruits, meats.  He would eat all day long and sometimes if feels as if he has.
16.Austin can open all the doors in the house.
17.Hates getting dressed.
18.Smiles all the time.

We are blessed to have this sweet boy!
