My sweet Austin!
You are technically 5 months and 4 weeks per Baby Center emails! Time goes even faster with the second child. :) And having you as our second makes it wonderful! It is amazing to watch how everyday a new concept is taken into your brilliant little mind.
You are taking after your brother and have a pretty relaxed attitude about life. The only thing that can alter your sweet deposition are growing teeth. Yikes! You have two on the bottom so far. You love to chew on anything you can get your hands on, but normally you have a couple of your fingers or your whole hand in your mouth.
I am finally getting in the habit of feeding you "real" food. You have had rice cereal and bananas so far and you love your high chair, sitting up so high and adult like. :)
Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy….this is your favorite past time! The Tigger jumper that I bought for Kellen (in which he only used maybe twice) is paying off. You love to jump! Your legs are going to be the nicest looking legs for a 6 month old. :) My mom, your dee dee, said that when Aubre was a baby she loved her jumper. After one particularly long jumping session, Aunt Carol took her out and the next day whenever she moved her legs, she would whimper in pain her little muscles were so sore. :) So, you have time limits! :) Oh, and now Kellen watches you and has to have a turn jumping. You have inspired him to finally use his Tigger jumper!
You made it through Bronchiolitis! It was a little scary when every breath you took sounded raspy and congested but after a round of steroids and breathing treatments you are good as new.
Your smile is so adorable and contagious! When someone talks to you, your smile is immediate and melts hearts. :)
You adore your brother. You watch his every move and are so ready to be playing with him. I know that there will be fights and brawls in the future that I will have to referee but you boys will have so much fun together.
Coming up next month....
New food adventures
The possibility of your first words. Hoping for Mama! :)

Skyping with Auntie Auntie and Michael
Kate, it seems like blogging with a focus (about your kids) has made you a stronger and more consistent writer. Direction on what you're sharing (a vision statement) will help you blog more often! You could turn your blog into writing about what life is like as a mother for you, and it would be not only really interesting but REALLY easy for you to keep writing. And good job! I like reading about your family!
