She's Walking!


Hi everyone,

Audrey has had a busy couple of weeks again. She is now walking very well, although she will still often hold her hands up for balance - it's cute, it looks like she's under arrest :) Luckily we had just put up a gate on the stairs, but I know there are lots of other things we'll be having to watch for now.

Last weekend we went to the Great Smoky Mountains for a quick trip. We had never been before, and we enjoyed ourselves. We also took Audrey to an aquarium for the first time, whcih she seemed to like quite a bit. She even touched one of the crab like creatures in an exhibit!

Audrey's Nana is still staying with us and Audrey is having a great time with her.

Audrey is learning so many new things right now. She especially enjoys light switches and drinking out of a real glass. I try not to underestimate her, because she keeps surprising me at what she can do. As you can see in the photos, she needs some work with her spoon skills, but she's doing really well!

If you ask Audrey a question she will usually answer "Yeah," no matter what the question is. She also says "tak you" when you give her something, which I think is very sweet. She isn't always sweet though, she really lets you know when she is angry. It has become very difficult to get Audrey out of the pool as she never gets tired of it and will put up quite a protest if we try to get her out.

She is a wonderful & funny little girl and we are having a lot of fun with her. Enjoy the photos and videos!

The whole movie doesn't always show up on the blog, if you right click on the video and choose "watch on youtube" you can see the whole thing.

Summer Weekend

Audrey has had a fun weekend. One of her new favorite things is sitting in her toy box. She also got a new blow-up pool, and had a fabulous time splashing around. It's been very hot, so it was a nice way to cool off. She's still taking a few steps at a time and working up her confidence, but prefers to hold on most of the time. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

More photos & videos







Hi everyone, here are a few more photos from our trip. The only real update is that Audrey took a few steps today, so that was exciting. She had a toy in each hand and wanted to move, so I guess she had no choice :)

Sometimes I'll try anything to distract her so I can eat!
