A "not so quick" rundown on my sweet baby boy:
Austin loves animals. He loves playing with our dogs although I think the dogs would call it "torture". He smiles and squeals whenever he sees them. He loves to look for Kitty whenever we are over at my mom's house. And if left alone with Kitty for too long he inevitably with end up with a scratch or bite mark brought on from pulling a tail or playing too rough. Yet he'll go back the next day for more.
Austin is a busy little guy--always looking for a new mess to make or a new household item to turn into a toy. I can barely keep up with the little guy (of course being 6 months pregnant may also have something to do with it). I have also concluded that he gets all his energy from his dad. He loves to open up the tin cans full of puzzle pieces and dump them out all over the house. Now I should take some of the blame since I am the one who gives them to him. But when he gets so excited and it entertains him then I tell myself "why not?" He loves to play with his remote control cars we got him last Christmas and push his trucks, toys, and lawn mower around the house. He thinks he is pretty big stuff when he helps dad mow the lawn outside with his own play mower. His crazy factuation is with coins. If he sees one he has to have it and will hold it in his hands for hours if you let him (this has taught me the "distract & take away" trick). His other favorites are playing in the water whether it be in his bathtub or outside. Next would come dirt and rocks--just a typical boy I suppose. And if you mix the water and the dirt together then you get a even happier Austin (and a mess for mommy).
Austin is a picky eater but has a few daily favorites. First being bananas (hey, at least it's healthy). Next is chips--he will eat any kind of chip. Tip: don't let him see the Pringles can unless you want to share. Third and perhaps the most favorite are his fruit snacks. He goes nuts when you mention that word. Some of that could be attributed to his aunt Kristi who likes to bribe him with them.
He is starting to "jabber" more and more in his own baby language. But he does say mama, dada, bye bye, thank you, and nye-nye. Recently he even figured out he can sing which he usually does while we are driving in the car. We think he is singing "Twinkle Twinkle" or "Happy Family" which are two songs I sing to him often.
Being Austin's mom makes me so happy. I love watching him laugh, play, and discover new things. He has taught me so much about myself and my purpose in life. I pray that Heavenly Father will direct me as I try to teach him.

oh, you are so humble and sweet...such good qualities to have as a Mother. You are great, I can tell ;)
and he is a cutie!!!
It's fun to read about Austin since we can't always see him and spend time with him. You are right about the boy thing...Tyler loves all those boy things too. Maybe you have done this, but this would be a good entry to print up and put in hAustins scrapbook/baby book since those little things they do change so often.
