HAPPY 20 MONTHS!

Austin,
Daddy and I can't believe you are 20 months today! We are amazed you are only 4 months away from 2 years old. We are enjoying watching you grow. You are our entertainment and we adore you so much. Here's a list of the new things you are doing.

You are very independent as everything you say is "I DO!, I WANT!, and I HELP!" You are definitely a boy that must do everything on his own. We are so proud of the big boy your are becoming.

You are starting to show your bashful side to others. You use to talk to anyone or go to them, but now you are more hesitant. Even though you are shy you are still one of the sweetest boys and most loving boys I know.

You are wearing 18 months to 24 months clothes and size 5.5 or 6 wide shoes. Woo hoo! Yes, I said wide. You have a very wide foot. We can't believe how much you have grown over the past month.

You are still a dancing machine. I love it because mommy also likes to dance. When you hear music you like to dance, sing and play your guitar. It's so much fun to watch!

You are talking and saying so many words. I love to hear your sweet voice. You also giggle all the time. You are a happy and friendly child.

You ask the blessing during meal times and say your prayers before nap and bed time. You just melt my heart!

You understand the difference between hot and cold. You will tell me if something is hot and you will blow on it to cool it. When you drink a cold drink you will tell me cold.

You like to march when you're walking. I guess that came from preschool or music class. It's hilarious to watch you because you take the biggest steps to march. You are so proud of yourself that you giggle when you march.

Mommy and Daddy are so thankful that God blessed us with such a sweet and special little boy. You are special to us and we are so grateful to have you in our lives. Always remember how much we love you and how proud we are of you. You are a joy! We love you! Mommy and Daddy
