| Nursing outside on the balcony at the Moody Theater |
Taylor was twelve weeks old yesterday. She graduated to the forward-facing position of her pack carrier just in time to enjoy the rhythms of South Africa at her first concert: Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The band performed at the new Austin City Limits Moody Theater in downtown Austin, touring in promotion of their Grammy-nominated album "Songs from a Zulu Farm." I had included the album on my birthing playlist, and while Taylor's birth was wholly quiet, save for my heavy breathing and the encouraging words of our midwife, she had already heard Old McDonald in Zulu before last Saturday night. Taylor caught the first four songs of the first set, took a snooze, then stayed awake for the entirety of the second set, only offering up protestations toward the end of the show to let us know it was time to eat. We exited without incident to nurse her in the cool night air on the theater's outdoor balcony while facing the lights of Second Street and the ever-expanding Austin city skyline.
