Today was super fun. Austin & I hung out together all day and I am amazed at how smart and fun he is. It was just one of those days that seemed like a turning point in his development. Nothing major, just little things like telling me the cat needed water, blowing his own nose (well) while I was driving and couldn't reach him, swaying to the music we were listening to and saying "More?" before the song even ended, and when I gave him my phone to talk to Brian he said "hi daddy" to start the conversation and "bye daddy" to end it. I know how cute he sounds on the phone (heavy breathing and sweet little voice) and Brian must have been just dying at how sweet that was.
He took a 2 1/2 hour nap for me today. It was so great; I actually ran out of things to do. I found myself on the floor doing stretching exercises. It feels completely weird to have spare time. I LOVE the long naps, mostly because I know he needs it, but the spare time is the cherry on top - a big fat cherry.
It's over 90 degrees today and my house is 86. We're dying here. Austin was confused as to why he didn't have a shirt on, especially when he was going to bed. I also removed some of the bedding in his crib and he was confused about that as well. I put a fan in his room and I hope he doesn't wake up freaked about having that right by him. These days we can communicate well about many things, but I'm not totally sure he understands about the heat and why his routine was a little different this evening.
