Snuggling Cutie

Audrey and I had some fun snuggling in bed the other day. She's really into making wet razzing noises right now, I think because a tooth is coming in. I know I've been saying this for a couple of months, but this time I swear I can see a tooth peeking through her gums. So stay tuned!

Yay for Fall Sweaters

I Can Do That

For a few weeks now, Audrey has been grabbing for her bottle. This weekend, she was able to hold it up by herself. She can't do it from start to finish, but I love seeing her assert some independence.

I am blog crazy. One more video just for giggles.....

Up at at 'em early.....

Grandma Wetzel spent the night last night to help me out with Audrey and it was a peice of cake. Audrey got up a little early this morning, mostly because I woke her up when I checked on her for the 11th time.

Shannon was out of town with friends today so Audrey and I had good time hanging out all day. we even went to a friends Halloween party. There were lots of kids in lots of cool costumes. No, I was not dressing up as a lumber jack, that is my actual shirt.

TGIF

Happy Friday everyone!

A "moving" picture just for fun.

Girlfriends

On Mondays, Audrey is watched by our friend Carla, who has a little 10 month old girl Teya. The girls are fast becoming friends. I can almost hear the girls 3 years from now playing and being bossy with one another.

Get Up and Go

I think our bouncy seat's days are numbered.

Rolling Over Take Two

Earlier this week Audrey rolled over from her back to her stomach for the first time. It caught me a little by surprise. Today when I saw she had rolled onto her side, I grabbed the camera hoping she would complete the rollover. She did not disappoint!

Reaching for Things

It seemed to take forever for Audrey to be able to put her arms out in front of her rather than sitting spread-eagled, leaning toward things, so I'm getting a kick out of seeing her actually reaching and grabbing. She also just started rolling over from her back to her stomach--so she's rolled over both ways now.

Happy Girl

My camera isn't the best in darker rooms, but Audrey's smile still shines brightly!

Before and After

Happy weekend everyone! So here is a little perspective for rveryone to see just how big Audrey is getting. FYI - Sadie is exactly the same size!

Day at Goebberts/Animal Land

So we went to Goebert's Farm today and it was AWESOME!! They had giraffes, tigers, hyenas, monkeys and a ton of other cool hooved animals. It was great! Audrey loved watching the animls and i had a great time feeding them all. This is definely going to turn into a tradition.

Standing Tall

Audrey in hoods...I can't get enough.

Our little girl is over just lying on the floor to play. She loves standing, especially with a GIANT stacking thingamajig to lean on.

We're Back and Audrey's 4 Months Old!

Audrey had her 4-month old check up today, along with the vaccines. She only cried a little bit at the shots, and the doctor said she is in perfect health. Way to go Audrey!! She's been changing so much over the last few weeks--reaching for things, throwing her body around, noticing and smiling at the dogs, constantly chewing and sucking on her fingers, laughing, and sleeping through the night (about half the time anyway). She's also adjusted wonderfully to her mother going back to work (part time) and staying with a babysitter 3 days out of the week.

Audrey now weighs 14 lbs. 4 oz, doubling her weight in 4 months. She also measures 26 inches, the average length of a 7 month old, according to her doctor. We are so thankful for a happy, healthy little girl.

Technical Difficulties

Just a quick note to say our laptop cord has fried, so we've been unable to do any blog posting the last few days and it will probably be another week before we receive our replacement. So no Audrey pictures or video for a few days more. Sorry guys!
