Audrey's Summer Fun



Audrey and I have been having a lot of one on one time with Michael up in Philadelphia. But luckily he's been back for one visit already, and he is coming home again today. Audrey is very excited to see her Daddy.

She is getting quite good at carrying on a conversation on the phone and we also like to Skype with Michael and with other family.

Audrey's speech is continuing to improve and she really has good manners! She will say "May I please have some apple juice" or whatever it is that she is wanting. Although when she's tired her manners do go rapidly downhill :) She has also been asking for candy more lately - partly because we've been trying to give a little more positive enforcement with the potty and partly because Mommy has been feeling pretty sick and keeping candy in the house more often.

Everything is still going well, and if I can just find a job in Philadelphia, we will move! But at the latest we will probably go up in January before the new baby is born.

Audrey had a great time when Michael came to visit over the July long weekend. We spent some nice time relaxing at home, went canoeing, visited a cave, and went to a local Australian themed mini-zoo. We had lots of fun. Audrey loved swimming in the river on our canoe trip and she also loved feeding the baby sheep at the zoo. She was telling everyone for days "I feed the baby sheep!" I've noticed her memory getting a lot better recently too, and she will talk about things that happened months ago.

I'm sure we will have more fun this weekend and will try to take more photos :) But here are some ones I haven't uploaded yet, including Audrey's first haircut! (Which was really just a trim)

At the park:



I thought these ones were funny - she likes to play with the wind from her humidifier in her room :)



Being silly outside - Audrey loves to "garden". She likes to dig in the dirt with her spoons.

Time for a haircut!
