Audrey

She sure is growing. She is such a social baby – smiling and cooing at people. She is a bit of a tease as she will reach for whoever is close by, but as they try to grab her then she backs away. This child can MOVE. She is so fast and loves to explore and get into everything (especially stuff you don’t want her to…like plastic bags, Bella’s tiny toys, sticks the dog brings in…) You literally can not take your eyes off of her if she is free to move about unless the area is completely baby proofed (our house is not…) The other day, she took the door stop right out of the wall.

She is eating more and more – and has about 7 teeth and more on the way every week. She loves to stand on her own and balance right now. Hasn’t taken a step yet – but I’m hoping that happens soon. She is also imitating sounds, and can say “Da Da”, “Hi”, “Wa Wa” (water), “Be Ba” (Bella), and “Ba Ba” (Ma Ma). She actually knows what those mean – and seeing that comprehension is so much fun. She just learned to make the “S” sound – and we were doing it back and forth the other night when I was nursing her and she was just cracking up. Her little baby laugh just melts my heart.

We’ve all had a nasty cold since Halloween, but I think we are all finally over it (I’m knocking on wood as I type this…) and the past two nights Audrey finally slept through the night again. YEA!

I haven’t posted in a while, and with the holidays coming up (and Audrey’s birthday), I thought I’d just try to jot down a couple of notes so I don’t forget. I’ve been cooking up some pre-thanksgiving treats today…looking forward to turkey with our friends. Gobble Gobble.

I finally downloaded photos from the good camera. These are from Sept-Now.
