One Year Video

We attempted to take a picture of Austin everyday of his first year.  Unfortunately, we missed some days here and there...  This video has pictures from as many days as we had documented on our cameras.  Enjoy seeing how Austin has grown up to be the little man he is today during these past twelve months!

Silly 'Goose'

This evening I left Austin sitting next to the couch with some of his toys.  When I came back to check on him he was on the other side of the room (yes, he's learned to get where he wants to go via crawling, scooting on his bum, inching on his tummy or rolling all over).  I was just talking to him and taking some video when I realized that he had a perfect V of toys trailing him.  I have no idea how he did it, but there it was, our little goose boy with his flock of cars behind him.

The New Hawk

We've discovered Austin looks pretty dang cute with a mohawk.

 

My two handsome boys!

Videos

It has been months since we've posted any videos of Austin.  So here are a few demonstrating some of his latest activities!  (Turns out I can't get the rest to post... sorry!)

Austin can't contain himself while Daddy shakes a trash bag...

Top TEN!

Well, today I am 10 months old, and I may not be crawling around yet, but I still know how to have a good time! Here are 10 pictures to let you know what I've been up to:

1. NATURE! Taking a hike near Mt. Falcon with the fam.

2. My dad graduated from DU, and I can't help but think I deserve some credit for that!

3. Grandma & Grandpa Mitchell came out to visit me from California!

4. Grandma & Papa Loucks came too to hang out for the day!

5. Now my dad is either studying for his exams or playing that silly football game! I wrestled to get the controller out of his hands before I gave up and fell asleep.

6. I love to stand up against the glass sliding door and wait for my mom to get home from the grocery store.

7. Grandpa really helped me "get on the ball" while he was here. Thanks for all the exercise!

8. FLEXING my muscles!

9. Everyone's always going after my cheeks! I'll let it slide for you, Grandma.

10. Teething's no fun, but I'm trying to be a good boy!

Nine Months Old

Austin turned nine months old this past Saturday.  I don't understand why time gets put in high gear when you have kids!  We went to Austin's check up today and he did so well.  He only had to get one shot and his toe pricked but he did not make even the slightest fuss about it.  He jumped at the shot initially, gave a tiny pouty face and then was fine.  I always imagine that I'll be leaving the doctor's office with a screaming baby, but I never do.  What a champ! 

Latest 9-month stats are as follows:

Height:  29 inches (75%)

Weight:  18 lbs, 12 oz (25%)

Austin is one flexible

and cool dude.

Big Cheeks, 4th of July, and New Treats, Oh My!

Check out these cheeks, ladies! Can't find more kissable than this!

(Austin is the little ladies man - two 2 year olds attacked him on Sunday and gave him hugs and kisses, and the baby girl his age always smiles and talks his ears off when they are together)

Happy Fourth of July!

My mommy puts me in my crib after feeding me in the morning so she can go back to bed...what's up with that?  The sun is up, it's time to play! (Sorry buddy, 5 am is too early for mommy to play...)

Mom and Dad are letting me try all kinds of new treats.  I like to eat graham crackers, "puffs", biscuits/cookies, and chew on veggies like carrots, bell peppers and cucumbers!

Time to walk off all those goodies!
