Red Duck

Little Audrey is a chatterbox. She is constantly talking and humming. She isn't however actually saying anything. That is until Thursday. On Thursday she felt inspired to start actually saying something. She attempted a "Hi", and then said "Duck" and later on "red". The only one she says with any consistency is "Duck" pronounced "cuck". A funny first word indeed.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Audrey had her 1st Birthday on July 22. At the party she encountered her first cake and she did not understand how to blow out the candle. This picture was captured seconds before I blew out the candle and that precariously perched hand, dove straight into the cake.

Walking like a champ

Audrey is now "officially" walking. She no longer utilizes her knees at all - except for with the stairs and only then because it can't be helped.

Since she is walking so well, I thought it was time for her to try walking outside, she of course, had other ideas - namely, sitting. The sidewalk was just far too interesting for walking around on, she had to inspect close up first.

Three Kids in a Basket

This weekend, Kalyn and Bryan came up with their kids (Ali and Josie) for the 4th of July Weekend. It was lovely having them here and Audrey enjoyed having some kids to play with. She did not however, appreciate the game of sitting in the basket nearly as much as Ali and Josie.
