Austin's First Steps!!!

We are so excited, Austin officially took his first steps today. He has been standing on his own for about a week, but he usually gets down to crawl if he wants to get somewhere. Tonight, before I put him down for bed, I jokingly said, "Austin you can't have your bottle until you take a few steps". So I stood him up and he stood for a long time and then took two steps toward me and stayed standing. It just goes to show how much that little boy loves food. It was exciting that Vance and I both got to see his first steps. Austin's uncle's on the Gardner side have been giving him a hard time because the neighbor boy that is a few days older than Austin is walking and Austin isn't. Well, he took those comments to heart and apparently wants to show his uncle's that he can keep up with the best of them. Unfortunately, we didn't have a camera on hand, but we will get some pictures soon and post them for all to see.
