Happy Birthday Tom/Daddy, and Other Updates

Austen's latest word - happy. So that's what he says when it's someone's birthday. Today was his dad's birthday so he went around saying "happy." He's been practicing trying to say it for awhile now since I always sing happy birthday when he's washing his hands to make sure he washes them long enough. He loves it. I guess he likes bdays! So does his mom.

Austen also loves oatmeal. That kid wants to eat it morning, noon and night. I mean I can relate to wanting to eat breakfast for every meal of the day but seriously, I'm 35 and he's almost 2. He needs his fruit and vegetables!

He's also starting to put two words together now. How exciting. Some of his favorites - Down, Mommy. No, Mommy! More, please! Hey, I'm just happy he's saying please.

As for Adler, she's a gem as usual. So patient and kind with Austen. Of course he still likes to make her crazy. The video below is of Austen trying out one of his dad's old remote control cars. It drove Adler nuts. No pun intended.
