Auntie Janets stayed home to watch Austen while Dada took Mama to the hospital. Austen did amazingly well, only complaining at first. She ate and watched videos and read books with Auntie Janet. Upon returning from the hospital, Mama and Dada found Austen crawling onto Auntie Janets lap to read a book.
President’s Day, everyone went to Skylark Diner for brunch. Austen crawled around the booth and ate fruit. She also started calling Mama “Mommy!” Later, in the hospital again, Mommy was comforted by the sticky lollipop marks on her pillow which Austen had left during a visit.
