Well, Austin has been content to only say the word "Hi" so far, but yesterday, he looked at me while sitting in the high chair and (I think) said, "Mama." I was so excited! I asked Aidan, "Did Austin just say Mama?" Aidan said, "Austin can't talk." Well, there you have it. :-)
Aidan has fallen in love with the school bus floor puzzle that his Nana got for him. It is a 35 piece puzzle, and he can put the entire thing together by himself! This from the child that screams and throws his toys across the room when they don't cooperate with what he is trying to do. Yesterday, in my Harry Potter reading session, I noticed Aidan was playing so quietly by himself. I looked over at him, and he was about two pieces away from being completely done with the puzzle. I was shocked! He put it together probably six more times yesterday! Perhaps this will teach him to be more patient with his toys? Perhaps I should try working it and gaining a little patience as well! :-)
Austin is obsessed with climbing the stairs. I have got to go get a baby gate, which I never had for Aidan, because Austin is just so fast. Two days ago, I was in the kitchen and Austin crawled on to the tile floor of the foyer. I put down what I was doing to go get him, and when I got there, he was already two stairs up! He is just so cute (for now - haha!) when he doesn't get his way. He has quite the temper for such a little baby. He'll scream this staccato like high pitched scream and his face turns so red. He's still eating like a champ, and I am anxious to see how he scores when he returns to the doctor soon. I think even though Jared has seen him so often on Webcam, he will be shocked at just how "grown" his youngest is. Speaking of which, we have about 60 days left on this deployment. Jared told me the date for his next deployment is tentatively set at next September. Guess we'll be having a really late Christmas - or else a really expensive one where we'll buy tickets to Japan!
