A whole lot of change

I owe everyone some pictures!
Austin has mastered many sounds like dada, mama, baba, and nana. She waves, sits up on her own, is close to crawling, loves to eat, pets her doggy when he is near, and is just very aware of her world. We love that her sweet personality only seems to grow and there does not seem to be an end in sight. We are very lucky parents.

The day after Daddy leaves we find out she has bronchitis, but she still smiles!


Her Daddy's favorite night time book.

Oh how she loves looking at pictures of her Daddy. She lights up everytime she looks at one, or talks to him on skype. It is really special to see.


Chicken face!

Austin has done an amazing job with all the change she has had to endure recently. She is very expressive, and at times mouthy, but everything is always followed up with a smile. That has not changed about her. It is apparent that she misses her Dad, and is very aware that he is gone. This week we get to go see him and it should be very sweet to see her.
