Austin is 1.5 years old!

Boy it has been a hot last few months.  We are surviving by keeping to the indoors in the afternoons and getting every activity we can done before 11:00 am! 

Our little man has turned 18 months!  This age is so neat.  He is adventurous,  curious, inquisitive, and passionate!  Seeing the world through his eyes certainly gives you a whole new view.  We are having a lot of fun!

Easter time!

Visiting the bunnies at EW Farm

Austin experienced a couple Easter egg hunts this year.  The first one was at Aunt Sarah and Uncle Colin's house.  Liann and Austin went right to work picking up eggs.  Then came, the "crushing" of the plastic eggs.....

The other hunt was at local farm.  We were able to visit the rabbits, cows, and chickens as well as color eggs and then find them in the field.  Austin enjoyed the trumping through the grass and thank God it was still cool outside! 

Grandma and Grandpa Holdridge visit!

My Mom and Dad came across the country on their way to visit Florida in search for a possible new place to live.  They stayed in Atlanta for a few days and Austin got to know them again.  They brought their dog with them and Austin was just enamored with her.

Austin is about 32 lbs and 33 inches.  He starting to grow out of his 2T clothes.  Yep, still 6 months ahead, no slowing down on the growth chart.

He loves watermelon....LOVES it.  Well, pretty much any fruit.  I call him our fruititarian.  He is starting to get picky about what he eats, but thank God for his love of carrots, with or without hummus....otherwise veggies would be a real issue.  Time to start "hiding" them.  Can you say, zucchini bread and squash pancakes???
