He walked!!!

Sunday night Keith and I were sitting on the floor with him and he just crawled over to the chair pulled himself up and just took off walking! I was just a little excited and I think it scared him some;) I couldn't get him to do it again but I think he was pretty tired. I wish I could have gotten it on film, but we really weren't expecting it.
Watch out!
Coming Through! Does this thing have reverse?

Happy Birthday!

It's hard to believe that 1 year ago today I held Austin in my arms for the first time! I knew immediately that I would love him more than anything in the world! He was by far the best birthday present I have ever received. Happy Birthday little man, we love you very much!

New toy

Austin loves all of his new toys! He got so much stuff he hasn't even played with all of it yet. This was his gift from Keith and I and it has a ton of buttons. It even speaks Spanish! He can stand there and play with it for several minutes and never tire of it. Keith and I can actually get stuff done now! I love this toy!

1st Birthday party

Yummy!

Saturday I am going to let him feed himself for the first time. We are going to do pirate cupcakes instead of a big cake. It should make for great pictures. For now I am still managing the spoon;)

Isn't that a great face? He has a piece of cracker stuck to his chin and he's trying to get it off with his tongue Full tummy! Now it's time for a nap!
