Social Austin

Austin may hold his parents back from having much of a social life. But he's already getting one of his own.

In one week, he went to a pool party with kids from our "Mommy Matters" class and Sedona's second birthday party.

Austin loved sitting in the blow-up pool in Kristin's front yard. His little buddies, Allistair and Bobby, are a few months older, so they were splashing about. But Austin was pretty content just to pick up floating toys and sit on the Bumbo seat.

Later that night, Courtney came to visit, so I made sure Austin was wearing his "Keep Austin Weird" onesie that she bought. "Keep Austin Weird" is a slogan/campaign to keep local (aka weird) businesses alive in the city of Austin. Michael and I had "Keep Austin Weird" T-shirts long before Austin was conceived, physically or even conceptually.

At Sedona's birthday, Austin didn't have too much interaction with Sedona and Maven. Sedona was running around, quite busy playing with her 2-year-old friends and chowing down on her first piece of cake. Maven was either eating or sleeping every time I saw her. But the Ding grandparents got to meet and hold Austin.

Austin also rode on his first park toy horsey.
