Growing up!: June 2009

Austin is growing, growing, growing!!! He turned 8 months old today. We made a visit to the doctor on Friday and returned with great reports. He is 17 lbs. 2 oz. & 27 inches long. He is a growing boy! His doctor was very impressed with how alert, focused, talkative and active he is. We also noticed that his two top teeth are coming in making feeding a little difficult these days. All he wants to do is chew on his spoon and bottle nipple.

BIG NEWS!!!
Austin started crawling on June 4th and has since forgotten how to sit still. He began crawling at a very quick pace. We often laugh, because Austin doesn't do anything slowly. He is a ball of fire. Austin has always been very curious, but now that he is able to get around on his own he has taken it to a whole new level. Nothing can stop him (except for mom & dad) from exploring every inch of our house. He gets into everything. Austin also enjoys pulling up on just about anything such as our sofas, his play table, exercauser, end tables, crib, toy chest, and much more. Austin also does a fantastic job transitioning from crawling to sitting as well as standing to sitting. Recently he has enjoyed pushing things around the house like books, shoes, DVDs, diaper packs, anything that slides around. Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQPE9tA0J98
