Austins walking

So for the last ew months Austin has been walking around holding our fingers, as most babies do. I have been encouraging him to let go, but he just hasn't felt the need too. The past month I have only been holding one hand, which of course he walks in circles, but he has been doing really well. Still not wanting to let go of the hand though. This past week he finally did it. Befroe we might have been able to get him to take one step and really a lunge, but now he is taking 4 of 5 steps! So we finally have a walkin man! I haven't been worried about his time frame, he just seems to want to but never had the confidence to let go of anything. Now he enjoys going back and forth between mommy and daddy. It's has become his way of getting out his extra energy before bed. I am so proud of him. Now we just need him to stand up then walk instead of waiting for everyone to stand him up and let him go. It'e exciting becasue we go to the park every week for play group and with the weather being hot, so is the ground, so crawling isn't working for him so well. It isn't fun when you really want to explore but your burning your hands. So this will open up all new possibilities.   Way to go Austin! Mommy and Daddy are so proud!
