C is for Cookie!

Sometimes I need to step back and actually WATCH and LISTEN as Austin grows up. I get so caught up in the everyday that I forget that I need to enjoy these moments. And the fact that Austin is getting smarter per nanosecond should be a great motivator.

So I never forget, here are a few things Austin is doing right now:

*Repeats A, B and C.

*REALLY likes the number 2. Will say 1, 2, 8 in sequence (eh- close enough)

* Is now a certified cookie monster. Asks for "a cookie? pease?"

*Says sentences like "daddy bye bye, work".

*Makes a kissing sound and pats the bed like Chris and I do when we want Malise to come.

*Hits a golf ball like Jack Nicklaus.

*Imitates my cleaning. For example dusts, sweeps, and wipes the table. Now to teach Chris...

* Now removes his pants and socks like he's an old man on a Saturday afternoon when no one is home.

*Climbs everything. Often can be found standing on the coffee table sans pants.

*Brushes his teeth. Sort of.

*Points out cars and trucks as we are driving. And any pictures of babies or cookies on billboards.

*LOVES Thomas the Train. Will walk over to anyone who looks capable of operating a DVD player and say in his sweetest voice "a choo choo? pease?" in hopes of getting them to put in a Thomas The Train DVD.

* Has finally mastered the juice box. We were a no juice house for a while, but when you're around other kids, it's inevitable that your child will end up with a juice box. Which he will promptly squirt all over himself due to unfamiliarity with the juice box "no squeeze" policy.

* Still loves fruit. "Banas", "Apples", Onges", and "Gapes".

Okay, enough blogging. I need to go hide the cookies.
