Well the time has come, Austin is finally exploring the house on his own. He is all over the place. Austin loves to cruise with the furniture, walls, counter tops, his brother and yes even walking on his own without the help of anyone and anything. It has been so much fun watching him transform into a new little boy that has discovered the freedom of walking. Grandma and grandpa are in town and have gotten to share in the joy and mimi and papa get to see it via skype. Which isn't as much fun as watching all his expressions in person, but it will do for now. I will try to get the video up soon. We are counting down the days to Montreal so we can learn more and Austin can show off his stuff.

It's official.....we are going to head to Montreal, Quebec in June to work with Ramone. We are very excited for Ramone to see Austin's progress and to learn more therapy to get this little guy walking on his own. Austin has been cruising all over the place. He uses the furniture and is determined to get from one place to the next. He has even been really daring and has experimented with walking on the tile. He sure has changed alot in the past year. We are so proud of him. We give a big thanks to God and Ramone for showing us the light and never letting us give up. It's just a matter of time now. The possibilities seem endless.

Last week at therapy Austin was amazing yet again. Austin decided instead of therapy in Miss Julie's room, he would entertain the waiting room full of parents. Miss Julie put a chair in the middle of the room and stood Austin about 2 feet from it. Austin had that determination in his eyes that he was going to get that chair. That is what Austin did. After 3 steps, totally unassisted, two with his left and one with his right he reached that chair. Everyone was so happy for him, even himself. I hope to catch it on video tomorrow when we go to therapy. But of course, we know how that goes when the video is running.... We want our Chile friends to know that they are in our thoughts and prayers during this devistating time.
