Lucinda and Beerinder took Austen to her four-month appointment with the pediatrician and one of the nurses referred to them as Mommy and Daddy. The doctor, who’d been introduced to Uncle Rin, spied Austen smiling at Rin and commented on how much Austen liked her uncle.
During a trip to Menlo Park Mall, Austen and Rin went to Children’s Place alone – while Mommy and Daddy finally checked out the famous children’s shoe department at Nordstrom – and several people commented on what a young father he was and what a happy baby he had. Austen was a babe magnet, smiling and cooing at passersby.
