I Wish I Could Capture Every Moment.

I have treasured my time off with Audrey, I'm just sad it's gone by so quickly. There are so many wonderful little things that she does that I don't want to forget. She is changing so quickly, and I'm sure I've already forgotten so much.

So, here are a few things I'd like to remember:

- her little goat noises when she was a newborn
- her cackling little laugh when she was smaller
- her big mmmmmmmmmwha, kisses right now
- she has just learned to say please, and when there is something she really wants (like marshmallows) that she shouldn't have, she'll say, "pease. pease. pease." Almost irresistible.
- the way she runs around the house, always in a hurry, but still not completely steady.
- she'll run into the room to tell you something very complicated that requires a lot of hand guestures, but despite her excellent speech, we have no idea what she's saying
- she'll sit down on any little ledge, wherever we are, and then pat the spot next to her and say "mommy sit" or "daddy sit."

Audrey is still doing fabulously well, and I just love seeing her develop and grow. Her vocabulary is growing rapidly each day, and she still has a wonderful, cheerful personality, although she's definitely asserting her independence more and more.

We hope you all had a very Happy Christmas & New Year.

More holiday fun!



Since Audrey loves playing with her stroller, but since it's a little big for her to play with, we got her a doll stroller. It was a big hit! I'll post photos of that soon.





Audrey finally got to use her chalkboard that Michael built for her. It was fun seeing her and Adele try it out.

Merry Christmas!

Once again, sorry for the delay in posts. Life has been wild lately!

I don't have long to access the internet today, but I wanted to at least put up some pictures from our Christmas week so far! Baba, Auntie Chrystal & Adele arrived on Monday, and then on Thursday night, Baba drove up to Toronto with us. We had a fast and easy trip, despite Baba forgetting her passport at home.


















Audrey had so much fun with her cousin Adele. And Adele seemed to have a good time too, especially now that Audrey is more and more interactive. They had a great time playing and opening gifts together.

I will post more photos soon!
