Austin's First Birthday!

Oh where, oh where has a year gone? This past Weds. was little Austin's first birthday! He is such a darling boy and I can not believe it was a year ago that he came to our family. He is such a happy, happy boy and love to imitate people and play with his brothers. He says: Mam (mom), daa (Dad), Uh-oh and that is all. My brother swears that he said Chris once, but none of us believe him. This year went be too fast. Unfortunately, on his birthday he was sick with a double ear infection and a sore throat. He had been on a prescription for about 24 hours and he was definitely not interested in celebrating. He would not eat cake, didn't like his presents and just wanted to go to sleep. When I was getting him ready for bed I noticed that he was covered in hives! The next morning we went back to the doctor and found out that he is allergic to the antibiotics he had been given, so we had to go with something else. The doctor also said...time to start thinking about tubes for his little ears. The other two boys had them and it made a huge difference, since apparently all my boys are ear-infection prone. We decided if Austin has another in the next two months, we will go for tubes. This one was his second in 4 weeks, his 5th since April. But now he is really feeling better and ready to play with his little rocking horse that he wanted nothing to do with on his birthday. He is such a sweet, wonderful boy and I can not imagine our famiy without him!!
Yes, his cake says "Piff" It is his nickname and pretty much the only thing his brothers call him.
Happy Birthday darling boy!!!
