Austin Scott, my little boy. You are the best of the best. Happy, easygoing, loving, and so funny.
Stats: Size 12 month pants. (In honesty- I went and dug out some 9 month shorts from last summer and those are the ones that fit the very best.) Size 18 month shirts are still a little baggy but is what you wear most of the time. Size 4 diapers. Size 4 shoes. Four teeth on top and three teeth on bottom. We went to the doctor and he's exactly 21 lbs.
Some other things to remember about this month:
--We went branding! I'm sure that we went last year, too - but this year was his first real experience. He loved seeing the cows - although he was slightly concerned about how many there were and he preferred to look at them from a distance. His favorite part of the day was riding on the tire swing and getting so much attention from Grandpa Walker (and Aunt Melissa).
-Bedtime is such a charming time right now. We do most of the bedtime routine in Lydia's room - scripture, song, prayer and such. Then about 6:50-6:55 one of us (usually David) will take him into his own room, read a few books to him, set him in his bed and tell him to lay down, cover him up with a blanket and make sure he has a stuffed animal, then say goodnight and walk about the door. He's in bed for the night at 7:00 p.m. and it's wonderful. Also, he sleeps through the night - no middle of the night calls - and it's amazing.
-He loves being outside "side". Specifically in the front yard - but if Lydia is in the backyard that will suffice. We are loving the warm weather.
--I love him. (Stake Conference at the Alpine Tabernacle.)
--He got sick this month with a little bug and was the sweetest snuggler. Even when he was sick he was pretty happy, but a lot more content to sit and snuggle instead of running around. (Also that orange Contigo waterbottle is our favorite!)
-He and Lydia play SO well. Among many other games, they've started racing each other around. They'll line up, Lydia will say "Ready, Set" and they'll both say "GO!" and run to the designated finish line. It's so fun to watch them really playing together.
--He gives kisses on command and if you ask him to give one person a kiss, he'll go around the room and make sure that everyone gets one. It's mostly just leaning his face into your face and waiting for you to kiss him, but it's so fun. His favorite person to give kisses to is Lydia and it melts my heart when he's standing on tiptoe trying to reach her face and she leans down and kisses him on the forehead.
--He's really starting to say a lot of words. Shoe(Shuh), Bear (Beah), Cow (Coh), Outside (side), and so many more it's hard to remember to write them all down!
--He loves shoes and has specific opinions about which ones he would prefer to wear. (No moccasins or flip flops for him.)
Anyone that knows this little boy can't help but love him. He's sweet, funny (seriously - he has such a funny sense of humor), and darling.
Happy 20 months little man!
