The fascinating brain of a 16 month old

I am amazed by what a little sponge Austin's brain is- they just pick things up so quickly at this age. It's just fascinating to watch him grow and learn new things.

Here are a couple of new things Austin is doing lately:

• He can identify nearly ALL of his body parts- hair, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, hands, fingers, legs, feet, toes, belly button and of course, his wiener! I'm so impressed with this! I need to get a video.

• When looking for something or asking a question, Austin puts his hands up in the air to signify inquisitively, "where it is?". It's so cute.

• He blows kisses and waves all of the time.

• He always claps at the end of a song and knows the hand motions to itsy-bitsy spider. He also moves his mouth when I sing ABCs.

• Just this past 2 weeks, his vocabulary seems to have had a growth spurt. He is now saying a lot of Mama and Dadas. He also says: milk, blueberry, duck, kitty, yea, no, hot, meow

• It's adorable when he "talks" to the kitty. His voice gets really soft and high pitched and he gets really close to her and says a lot of what sound like "meows". freakin' adorable.

Anyway, just thought I'd update with some fun things... he is growing up so fast!!!
