Mommy’s been putting it off for weeks, but it’s time to crack open her book on the Toddler Years. “The Baby” is definitely now “The Toddler.” Today, Austen went to a picnic and ran around on the grass, no assistance required. Mommy and Daddy got to play football and baseball while Austen acted as an obstacle on the field.
After lunching with the rest of the guests, Austen practiced climbing up and down the deck steps alongside an 18-month-old boy. She also played in a basin of water and was a social, smiley little girl, unless someone tried to pick her up. Her independent spirit and shyness don’t allow for that right now.
