Audrey's latest

Being a parent is the funnest thing ever. I love to watch all the things Audrey does while growing and learning. She is the funniest little girl and I tell her 10 times a day that she makes me laugh. This morning we were all sitting at the table for breakfast and she was just chatting up a storm. She has never really "talked" super extensively. She makes noises, mostly to herself, especially when she is in her crib before she falls asleep. But this morning she just went on saying da di doda da and all this crazy stuff. And she had fluctuation and intonation on her voice like she was critisizing someone. It was the funniest thing ever. She has recently started talking a lot more, yesterday I was chaning her diaper and I told her when we were done we were gonna go get daddy...and she said..."dat" And we repeated it a couple more times. SO CUTE.

She is also really started reaching out for other people just recently. The other day we came upstairs to find grandma and she was sitting next to the window in the sun. I had had Audrey's window open so she was a little chilly on her skin and she reached right out for grandma and put her little arms around her neck and laid her head on grandmas shoulder and just laid there while the two of them soaked up the warmth together. It was the longest I have ever seen her cuddle with anyone unless she is tired and falling asleep. It was the sweetest thing ever. I know my mom will cherish that memory forever. Everyone loves to get hugs from a baby.


SOMEONE GAVE US THESE FUNNY PIXIE ANTENA THINGS. I ACTUALLY GOT HER TO LEAVE THEM ON HER HEAD FOR 1/2 AN HOUR.



SERIOUSLY....IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THIS COULDN'T BE MY CUTE HUSBANDS CHILD??? LOOK AT THOSE FACES!



Audrey also discovered this week that the bathroom in the mothers lounge echos! She crawled in there sat right on top of the drain (gross) and was just singing away listening to her voice. She sat so still and had her face kind of lifted....I could tell she was just listening. It was so funny. But we high taled it out of there before we disrupted too many people.


Oh yeah, Audrey also knows what the phone is now. We have this super old school fisher price turn dial phone from when I was a kid. She will pick up the receiver and put it on her shoulder and bend her head into it and say something babyish. So cute




She also started to walk with her little walker toy. We have had this toy out for a while, but it wasn't till we put batteries in it and it started making NOISE that she got motivated to use it on her own accord.
