Whew! Is it really June 1st?! This year is just going by so fast; I can't believe summer is already upon us. We took Austin to the doctor this morning for his 18-month check-up. He weighed in at 27lbs. 4oz. (60
th percentile) and measured 32 1/4" tall (short) (50
th percentile), and his big '
ol head was still in the 95
th percentile. Some things never change. :) He wasn't so excited to see Dr. Granger today and all his toys he uses to look in his ears, eyes, etc. He was much more interested in just latching onto Mommy. Only one shot today, screamed for about 5 seconds, and then we were on our way.
Austin has such a great personality, but still throws his tantrums here and there. I think we may have actually entered the 'terrible two's' a little earlier. If he doesn't get his way, he proceeds to throw himself on the floor kicking and screaming. It usually only lasts a few minutes, and then he forgets what he was mad about to begin with. He is definitely an outdoors-lover! Anytime he hears/sees the backdoor or garage door open, he's like a bolt of lightning trying to escape. Once he's outside, it's usually a chore (and a tearful struggle) to get him back inside. He's managed to master his new
playset out back, being able to climb the ladder solo and slide down the slide all by himself (all under close adult supervision, of course).
They've had 'Concert by the Lake' on Thursdays the past few weeks in
Rockwall. We load up a blanket, picnic dinner, snacks, and head down for some fun and people watching. I was nervous about how Austin would do. But he loves to people-watch and pet all the puppies that are in attendance. And the music is great too, especially for my little dancing maniac. He LOVES to 'dance dance', as he commands
CiCi when she pulls out her iPhone. He'll snap his fingers, stomp his little foot like it's the Cotton-Eyed Joe, and spin around in circles. It is absolutely the cutest thing; I'll have to take a video of it to share. Since summer is finally upon us and the Texas heat is rising, we've ventured up to the community pool and splash park a couple of times to cool off, too.
