Where does the time go...

I cant believe how fast he is growing up!!! Here are some new pics and an update with whats going on these days with Austin:

• He's growing, and growing, and growing.....We went tonight to get him some new summer pj's because his other ones were too small and too warm, and we had to get him 18 month pajamas!!! Where did my baby go?!?!?! I know he is larger than the average 7 1/2 month old, but he is growing so fast!!! All of the summer clothes we have bought him so far have been 18-24 months and the ones hes had on already definately aren't too big.
• He isn't crawling yet, but is rolling everywhere. He now rolls and rolls and rolls, until he gets the toy he wants. I am wondering if maybe he will skip crawling and just roll where he wants to go.
• He said his first words last week. Mama (yes I was excited and definately rubbed it in to Matt) and Baba (what can I say the kid loves his food).
• He took his first underwater dip last week too. I was giving him a bath and his little butt slipped right out from underneath him and under he went. I had a hold of his arm the whole time so he wasn't under for much more then a second and he didn't get too shook up about it. No tears from him, or mom:):)
• He is giggling and laughing all the time now. I could listen to him giggle all day long, baby's laughs are the best sound in the world!! He is definately starting to take on a personality of his own, and he is one pretty happy little boy most of the time.
• He has started making this grunting noise and tightening up his whole body while he's doing it. At first it drove me crazy because I thought he was throwing a fit, but soon figured out this is not a fit (see next post). It's pretty cute and our sitter Nikki says it looks like he is grunting and flexing his arms in front of him like a body builder pose, definately a signature move:):)
• Who knew 7 month olds threw fits?!?! Well, atleast I hope they normally do, otherwise we are hitting our terrible 2's a little early. Really the only time he throws a fit is when he gets layed down to change and doesn't want to be. He can kick, wriggle his body and scream like no other. I think he got his temper from his dad:):)
• Here are some photos in his new big boy pj's:

First night in my big boy pajamas:):)

What happened to my little baby?!?!?

Spittin' bubbles

Chunky monkey:):)

Busy Busy....

We have sure had a busy couple of weeks here. Last Friday was my official last day of rotations, woohooo!!!!! Unfortunately that means I have to spend the next month studying, but I am trying to focus on the fact that in 1-2 months it will all be over and hopefully I will have passed all my boards!! So for some unknown reason I decided that we should try and paint pretty much our entire house within 1 week, before I had to start studying. Definately not the smartest idea I have ever had, but atleast it made us get busy and get it done. We painted the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway upstairs, main entryway and downstairs entryway. It definately was a project, but I am so glad we did it and our house seems so much more "homey" now. I will post some pictures when I get a chance. Austin is still doing great. He has started making this grunting noise and tightening up his whole body like hes throwing a fit. The first time it was cute, and now it drives me crazy. I'm sure hes too young to really be throwing a fit, and its just something he has figured out how to do, but hopefully it stops soon!!!
