At 15 months, Austin's Stats:
Height: 31 1/2 inches, 70%
Weight: 22lbs, 17%
the doctor even dropped the word "skinny" in converstaion; but he is not worried in the slightest about Austin's weight.
Enjoying some sunshine..
This is the tail end of him "winking" (he just squints his eyes)
He loves to sit in the fridge and tell us about all the cool stuff in there. Or sip on his milk. Are those Post-It Notes? Why yes they are. I wonder if they are still there....
Daddy built a fort for the both of them to play in! We left it up all weekend. And it blocked the way through our living room so picture us crawling through it everytime we needed to go back into our bedrooms. Oh and crawling through in our church clothes on our way out the door haha!
Wearing papa's sandals..
For Christmas, my mom gave me a weather sheild for my jogging stroller. I love it! It's nice to have in the winter since I run outside only. Now I can take him running when it's snowing/raining or super windy/cold. Or, like last week, it was nice to have since he had a cold and I didn't want his nose to run any more than it was already! I definitely have no excuse to miss a run now!!
You're probably wondering why this picture is here, but it just portrays how he is starting to do "big boy" things..like sitting like this while he watches TV. It is so crazy for Jake and I to see little things like this! We miss our baby boy!
Here are a few fun things about Austin at 15months:
-If he hears a song on the radio he loves, then he walks over, turns it up, and jams out. Some of his favorites: Naked and Famous, U2, Katy Perry, Rhianna, Foster the People, Awolnation, Colbie Caillat. He also loves Elmo. His favorite video on You Tube is "elmo's got the moves." He usually invites us to dance with him and gets upset if we don't.
-He is (near) running and climbing and yes I think am burning more calories than ever chasing him all day
-He's social.. and will "wink", waves and smile, and share his blanky with random people at the grocery store. He loves going where there are a lot of people and lots going on because he loves to be apart of the action and explore
-is throwing little tantrums. They last like 10 seconds and are hilarious. Jake and i walk away and ignore them and try not to laugh at him. He will stomp around, yelling, and shaking his head back and forth..once he even stormed around the kitchen, faced Jake, and yelled at him!!
-The other day he got frustrated and bit my leg (!!) so I immediately put him in time out in his room. He came out after about 30 seconds, walked right up to my leg, touched it, said something serious, then kissed it better!
-Calls out "dad" the second he wakes up. When I go in there, he keeps saying "dad! dad! dad!" and motions to our bedroom. So we both go in and lay in bed with dad.
-LOVES his grandmas, grandpas, aunts and uncles. He knows his family and I love that.
-talks and talks and talks. Can we understand him? No. It's so cute..his gibberish. You can tell he is making sense to himself. The things we CAN understand: pees? (please), dad, mama, I don't know where it is (mostly gibberish but we can tell by his tone and hand gestures), and this.
-sugar affects him in a big way. He gets super hyper. Therefore, no sugar before bed.
-loves his shoes and likes to put them on even when we aren't going anywhere
-tries to dribble and bounce balls.
- has 2 bottom molars now plus 8 front teeth (still waiting on those canines)
-bedtime 9pm, wakes up anytime between 7-8. Naptime 12:30-1, wakes up between 230-4.
- makes the goofiest face when he's trying to take the lid off something..he scrunches his face all crazy, and pulls so hard he starts trembling!
-will fall backwards from sitting or standing for fun. We have to throw a pillow under him if we can't catch him in time.
-loves blueberries. he will seriously eat like 3 cups if you let him. (those diapers are super fun to change!)
-pretends to snore..just breaths really hard
-when it's time to clean up our messes, he likes me to sing the clean up song (from Barney..remember?) and he will help me clean up whatever mess there is
-says "prayers"...will bow his head and mumble something really fast.
Austin pretty much runs the show at our house! He is all over the place and of course loves to play with us forever and ever. He is honestly the goofiest person I know. Everyday I just laugh and laugh at him..he does the weirdest things!! I think it's because he is so curious about his world and loves discovering. I really die laughing almost every night...like who does these things!!? Only a toddler I suppose. If I knew what was going on in his head I would without a doubt pass out from laughing. Funny 2 yrs ago I was entertained by completely different things! Sometimes he can be a monster (teething/sick) and I even laugh at that; he will just walk around yelling aaaaaahhhhhhh! Of course I don't let him see me laughing. It reminds me of the Hulk. Or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Most times though he just a happy little guy who loves to play and show you around the house to all his fun places. He is thrilled to be in new places and around new people. He LOVES his blanky and binky and to cuddle with us everyday. He will give us hugs and kisses periodically throughout the day. Can't wait to see what the next few months bring!

Can't believe he is that old already! He is so darn adorable!
So many of the pictures and things you wrote made me laugh out loud. Seriously... what a little character.
