Austin is a walker!

Last week baby Austin took more than 2 steps...he walked! He has been walking more and more, and he could not be more proud of himself!

so he took his first steps at 9 months, but we will say he is "walking" now at 10 months :) He still prefers to crawl when he needs to get somewhere fast (hears a noise, someone calls him, or he wants food!) but he walks probably half of the time.

Just today at the museum, we went in the "baby room" for him to play...and everyone that would ask "how old is he?" would guess 13 or 14 months...and then I would say, no, he is almost 11 months...and they would be in shock. I found it kinda funny, because he is not big at all! He is average size, and most of the time smaller than their kids, but he is pretty good on his feet, maybe that's it?

Austin is very much an observer when we are out around people. He will just watch everyone around him, and then he will go up to them and talk or get in their lap;) He is very social, but of course, ALWAYS has me in his vision. If I am not in his sight, he will crawl SUPER fast until he finds me.


Today he played in the sand table too! This to me is SUCH a big kid area...but he walked right up, and joined the big kids. He only tried to eat the sand toys a few times, and just ran his hands along the sand...this baby loves sand...its gonna be hard staying away from the beach this summer!

Baby Austie is not such a baby anymore...kinda making me sad. Wishing time would slow!
