Captain's Log:

Back again, and this time it's all about Austin. :)

I've never seen so much energy in a human being... This child has a seemingly unending supply of energy. It could be that I tried not to hang around small children before I had my own. Maybe many (or all) of them are like this, and I just never knew it. He seems to have an extra dose though... :)

Austin turned 1 in 2011 on February 2nd, Groundhog Day. As far as I'm aware, his birthday only happened once... We had a Super Hero Squad themed party at his aunt Melodie's place because he loves Spider-man.



He's grown so fast. It seems too fast at times. He is speaking pretty well now and getting far better at mimicking others. He is very adept with our iPhones and tablet... He thinks everything is touchscreen now, including the TV and when it doesn't respond to his touch he looks really confused. :) Spoiled.

When Logan arrived, Austin took to him quite well. He is very nice to his younger brother. They get along very well right now, which will be nice while it lasts... :)

Austin's second birthday is rapidly approaching now. I don't know yet what theme Brittany will use for this year's birthday party, but it's not like she doesn't have a lot of choices. Austin loves Sesame Street ("Elmo-time?"), Phineas and Ferb, Dinosaur Train, and Mickey Mouse... Oh, and Spongebob ("Bob-bob").

So far, he's learned about half of the alphabet, though not the first half...just half of the letters, in order but not in a row. He knows how to count to 10 as well. It's really amazing how quickly he picks up on the iPhone though. He can unlock it, navigate to his folder, and open any of his apps. He's known how to do that for a while. Now he's poking around in my apps! Google maps is one of his favorites now. And he loves the forward-facing camera, because he loves looking at and taking photos of himself. I probably have 60-70 photos on my phone of Austin that he took himself. -_-




He's growing up really fast. And Logan's right behind him. More on the second one next.

Until then,

LWerner
