We reached another mile stone this morning. When I went to get Austin this morning he was standing in his crib waiting for me to come get him. Yes he pulls himself up every where now.   He is still not walking but oh so close. As long as he has some thing to hang on to he goes at it. He has fallen in love with our car keys and mind you only the BMW car keys do the job. He was running his circles in his walker this afternoon proudly waving the keys. When I went to park the car in he couldn't quite figure out how they were stuck in the ignition and was quite amazed as we started driving and all the dash lights came on. Such a inquisitive boy we have. He notices every thing. 
  Oh and he also starting really giving kisses this evevning. He has done it a few times before but tonight he was just covering me with open mouthed kisses:)   Still gotta work on the technique a little but it sure was sweet. Love him so much!!!!!!
   Ever since our trip to Michigan his nights have not been the same. he was doing so well  before we left at sleeping all night and getting to bed at a decent time and now he is back to going to bed late and getting up once some nights. This Mama is not a happy camper.  I am going to try any thing to correct this. Starting tomorrow I will get him up at 8 instead of letting him sleep till 10 like he has been and we'll go from there.
   My sister Frieda is here still, she was here for a few weeks and we have enjoyed her help so much. She flies home on saturday.
 Well should run Austin is just sitting on the couch watching praise baby dvd to get him sleepy so we can all go to bed.
