Austin at 16 months

Austin is so sweet. We just did another well-child visit at the doctor and he's doing great. 19 lbs 13 oz and 30 inches. They don't give you percentiles at this doctor... weird Kaiser. Anyway, he's developing well and aside for some rashy-ness on his upper back due to his sweating he's perfect. Austin loves food of all kinds especially when it's off your plate, he loves waving at the waving audience on the Today Show, he claps and dances to music and is starting to match pitch when we sing. He really enjoyed the music class we did in the spring and I will do it with just him while Parker is in preschool in the fall. He has turned into a little climber and is constantly yelling for me to retrieve him. He loves Parker and is mimicking more of his behaviors... oh joy! He does a few signs which has helped to lessen the shrill scream he started doing to communicate his feelings. He loves balls and bats. He loves to kick the soccer ball around (many times with his left foot, much to Pete's excitement), and he loves swimming. He is a solid walker now, which makes our park visits much more high maintenance for me, since he wants to be climbing all over the structure. He also loves Sea World and coos at all the animals. He has a special love for Papa, but shows equal excitement whenever he sees "dada". He loves to plop in your lap for a good book. I love my snuggly guy. Things to work on... he can be quite jealous at times. He doesn't like Parker getting all the attention or if I am holding another baby he is not a fan. It's pretty funny at the same time:)
