April, 2014:
Everyone is growing up so big! Austyn turned 5 in March and Deegan is now 10 months old! The months have really flown by. Austyn had her first slumber party for her 5th birthday party! All in all it went pretty good, however Deegan didn't enjoy 8 screaming girls running down the hallway as he tried to sleep!
Austyn acts so grown up now (except when she's whining or throwing a fit)! She starts kindergarten later this year and is doing well in her preschool. Puzzles are her big thing right now. She comes home from school and puts together puzzles over and over again! She also loves to sing and dance - especially to the Frozen songs, and sometimes she even plays her harmonica in her tap shoes to entertain her little bro! She still goes to dance and really loves it (doesn't want to try any other sports or activities though). Her lifelong goals have multiplied since my last update- she now wants to be a chef, ballet teacher, doctor (like Doc McStuffins), and mommy when she grows up.
Deegan now crawls everywhere fast and can pull himself up to things and walk if he's hanging on to the ottoman. He loves his new skills! He is such a happy, sweet little man and smiles all the time! He came down with pneumonia a few months ago and although he's had a cough for what feels like forever, he still smiles through it. He sure loves his sister and thinks she's the silliest thing around (and she's pretty crazy about him too).
Here are photos from the past few months (starting with the most recent):
