Austin decided two weeks ago at a Barnes and Noble to start.....TALKING!!! He wanted to go up the escalator and said as clear as can be "Please!" "Please Mama" over and over again. Needless to say, we went up the escalator up to the kids books. Ever since then he has gone from "Mamma" and "Dadda" to about 20 words. Every day he says one or two more. By his birthday he will probably have caught up to the 200 word expectation of other 3 year olds. Randall could not be happier. His speech therapist said it would "just happen" and it has! I never believed 6 months ago that we would ever get here. We sure have been blessed with wonderful children that continually surprise and challenge us.
We decided to take a trip to the park while my grandma was here visiting and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Austin and his not-so-exciting pumpking Rachel and Jenna trying to get a good picture together... Austin pretty dang mad about having to leave the slide at the pumpkin patch!
We did a sensory activity with Austin and Jenna using Vanilla Pudding and food coloring. Jenna would only touch it with a spoon, mixing the colors to "make more pink." Austin make a huge mess with his dinosaurs and plastic cars. They had so much fun!
