Fifteen Months (aka 1.25 years old)

Now that Austin's reached his first year, the updates won't be so frequent. Things just aren't happening as fast as they used to. But when I look back at his first birthday I realized just how much he's changed.

Austin is now 27.5 pounds and 33 inches tall. He's more the size of an 18 month old and he's running like one to. He says about a dozen words and he seems to be talking in his own language all the time. Am I really supposed to know what it all means? His favorite words are still mama, dada, gaga (grandma), mammie (grammy), cracker, and baby. And he still uses a lot of baby signs. Daddy has taught him "please" so he's started to sign "more please" at every meal. He's refusing to eat meat and I'm starting to wonder if I have a vegetarian on my hands as I prepare fake chicken nuggets and tofu.

Gone are the days of two naps. Now it's just one late morning nap which was timed perfectly as I ended the first trimester of my pregnancy and started to get some energy back. I'll probably update again at 18 months so check back soon.
