On Feb. 8th, Austin decided to go for it. Here are his first steps going back and forth from Nana to Mom. The next day Nana and I went to a learning center open house and he decided he was done with all this finger-holding nonsense and was off and running (or walking rather), pushing buttons, giving baby dolls snuggles, watching kids build blocks, and hiding behind the teacher accessories displays. It was so fun. We just walked behind him the whole time as he explored the whole store. The inflatable planets dangling from the ceiling were enthralling, the battery-operated button-pusher toys were fantastic, and the plastic food at the mini store was shared by all (of the kids). It was definitely a defining moment of momma-dom to watch him interact independently with lots of kids instead of the constant shadow he's needed up until that point. Very cool.
