Austin is 9 Months Old!

 Austin is getting big! (sort of) The doctor describes him as "short and fluffy." Not to say he is on the chubby side compared to his fellow baby friends, but i guess his height to weight ratio makes him this way. But his head size saves the day, because it hits somewhere way above average, making his overall measurements right smack in the middle of the percentile of kids his age. Not to say my baby is "average" by any means...:)
Here are his stats: Height-27 1/2 in., weight- 18 lb 14 oz, head circumrerence-18 1/4 in.

 Here he is sporting his Oompa-Loompa look.

 Austin gets comments about his eyes all the time. I don't know what they are talking about. :)

 He is really getting into using sign language. And, as of this morning, he can sign milk, more, all done, and drink.

 He also talks a lot! He is a real talker,especially at 6AM every morning! The only two words we can really understand are Mama and Da! This morning he was laying him bed with us, crawling all over me when he spotted his Daddy on the other side of Alex (who was also sleeping in bed with us). He exclaimed, "Da! Da!" and proceeded to climb over Alex and attack Pauls face.

Austin also waves goodbye, but sometimes it takes a little coaxing. He is really adorable, LOVES to snuggle, loves to give kisses, he also like to hug other people. If someone walk up to him that he likes he will reach for them, hug them around the neck and then trun around and try and leap back into my arms.
He also loves to have someone hold his hands so he can walk around. Uncle Ben is his offical "walking partner" and Austin thinks that that is his personal job. He actually expects it of him everytime he sees him. It is really cute.
We sure love this boy!
