Lucky Number 11

Where is time going?  I can't believe its already Austin's 11-month birthday!  Is my baby really going to be a year old in a month?  Holy cow!
Well, March was certainly a wonderful month for the Greiner family.  We started the month with a few fun trips to Ogden to visit the great-grandparents, up to the Peterson's cabin up at Sundance, a day trip to the Sweet's Candy Factory with some friends, and a few trips up AF Canyon.  Austin absolutely loves spending time with his family, but this month he has started getting a little shy with people.  This is so weird to me because this kid has always loved getting passed around and meeting new people.  He's been really clingy to his mom (ME) especially.  I think it's because he's teething again and realizing that there are a lot more people in this world than he originally thought!  He's growing like a weed and is now in his big boy car seat!  Putting him in the reclining one was getting hilarious, his long legs would dangle over the end and he just looked squished!  He loves his big boy seat and loves facing forward and getting to look out the window while we drive around.  This month has also brought about legitimate temper tantrums.  YEA!  It is actually pretty funny.  Austin throws his head back and wails, but it is so FAKE!  You can totally tell the difference between his feelings really being hurt and when he fakes it.  Pretty funny!
My little baby also doesn't look like a little baby anymore.  He's all boy.  100%.  He loves doing things on his own, loves dirt & water, making a mess, animals, and playing with balls.  We keep wondering what sports he'll want to do when he's older.  Right now I'm leaning toward swimming and soccer because he loves the water and loves kicking things around the house.  He's walking 99% of the time now, and is loving being more independent.  The only thing that is not advancing his is sleep habits.  This is totally the "I want my mommy" kid!  He will not sleep a full night in his crib.  It's killin' us, but ya know...it'll work out!  I have faith!

Gregor and I also celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on March 20th!  He bought me 2 dozen pink and yellow colored roses (just like when we got engaged in Austin, TX.  Yes, there is a relation to our son's name).  We got my sweet sister and brother-in-law to watch our Austin and we went to dinner at the Roof in SLC.  Oh, man!!!  Best food, best night!  I am so lucky to have my sweet, wonderful Gregor!  He is so good to me and I love him with all my heart.  I can't believe it's only and already been 2 years!  I feel like we just got married yesterday, yet I feel like we've never not been together.  It's amazing!
Well, that's the update...I'll include some pix of our family from March.  LOVES!
