New Toy

Audrey enjoys sitting up as a change of pace from lying on her back or stomach. However, she is having trouble reaching those toys, which can be very frustrating, especially when they look so delicious.

Audrey really wanted to put those toys in her mouth. Thanks to our friend Janel for loaning us the cool activity seat.

New Phase

This is Audrey not being a good napper.

Happy Friday!!

Audrey continues to develop her vocal range (and get the hiccups).

And she gets a kick out of her daddy.

In the Kitchen

Audrey happy hanging out with her mom while she cooks dinner.

Tuesday Afternoon

Fun afternoon just playing in Audrey's room. Happy first day of fall everyone!!

Audrey Loves Her Grandmas

Checking out some new toys with Grandma Wetzel


Bedtime stories with Grandma Patti

Making Grandpa's Day

My dad has had a model train layout since I was a toddler. His father had a model train layout. But he couldn't quite get any of us kids to be that interested. He has decided to get Audrey into trains at an early age. And she actually seems to dig them so far.

Playing With Teya

Audrey had a fun afternoon playing with her friend Teya, who she will be seeing every Mondays now. Eventually Teya can show her the ropes on crawling, standing, and pretty soon, walking. HOwever, right now Teya is more interested in climbing on top of Audrey.

Loving Her Quilt

"Cool toys"

"But check out this awesome fabric."

Audrey loves to play on her quilt my friend's mother gave her. The pattern of the fabric completely enthralls her--Audrey is really into patterns right now. Thanks Ma Paukner!!

Grandma Visits

My mom came up on Saturday to watch our little Audrey while Mike and I cashed in on his radio prize from last year--a gift certificate to a seafood restaurant. The meal was delicious and Grandma reported that Audrey was an angel. But then again, she is pretty biased.

Hands Free=AWESOME!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Good Morning.

Excited for a walk.

Mike turned 31 yesterday. Time sure does fly. We had a laid back dinner at home yesterday and tonight we will be going out to a nice seafood restaurant while Grandma Patti babysits.

Audrey continues to change and grow so much week to week. This week it seems like she has been concentrating on developing her "vocabulary" and has been pretty pleased with herself and all the different noises she can make, including laughter now, which you can hear a little bit of in this video of Audrey right after waking up from a nap.

In other Audrey news, she slept through the night for the first time last night--8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Hopefully this becomes a common occurence and is not just a big tease.
