More Audrey

Here are a few moments I have managed to capture in the days of Audrey the last couple of weeks.  She is incredibly hard to photograph now that she is on the go...but, here are some normal sights from our days.
chillin with a snack...check out those feet!
after breakfast

waking up thinking about climbing out...

i have no idea what is trying to be accomplished here
our little reader. she LOVES books!! :)
We are constantly laughing and continuously amazed at all that she can do and is learning.  She has been so much fun lately.  Saying all kinds of new words, following some directions, begging at the pantry for snacks and juice, truly growing into her own little person. She knows all her body parts and especially loves bellies. We are having such a blast being her parents...looking forward to every day and what might come next.

What's with Cabinets??

I get the pots and pans thing with babies and kids.  They're loud and it's fun to make a mess, easy to clean up, easily accessible while in the kitchen and keeps baby occupied while Mom (or Dad) might be attempting to fix a meal.  My child, has moved on to moving the pots and pans out of the way so she can climb into the cupboard...



So funny.  It's like her little clubhouse. She is not opposed to hanging out in the pantry either...


She also has great interest in digging through any drawers she can reach and bringing whatever "treasures" she can find to Mom or Dad.  Right now, she can reach the drawers in the bathroom...so the treasures consist of her multiple toothbrushes (I can't help it) toothpaste, travel (unopened) lotions, baby powder, etc.  She also loves Mom's drawer which has much more interesting things in it.  Nail files, lotion, cosmetic bags that she can't seem to open (thank goodness).  I will be very happy to do more childproofing when it comes to that kind of stuff in the new house.  While renting, you cannot permanently alter anything, so we have not been able to do a lot of that.  I did find these great adhesive child locks that have worked great with the cabinet under the sink with soap, cleaning stuff, etc in.  They actually use a magnet to unlock it, which stays high on the fridge.  I was quite impressed actually.

Here she is!

...and in 3d! We will be getting more in about a month and she will have a little more meat on her bones too looking more like a baby, less skeleton.  I will be more than happy to share those too.
I really love that our Dr has the 3D.  I thought it would be really cool (which it is) but I never wanted to do anything unnecessary nor have to shell out any more cash, so we wouldn't have done it otherwise.  But, it really is amazing seeing the baby in a more true form than the normal ultrasound. (We did get those by the way too)  Sometimes it's harder to make out what parts are where and what not with the other, with the 3D there was no doubt.
