DVD Favorite

Here you see a picture of Audrey sitting on the couch watching the "Little People" dvd that came free with her farm set. It is her favorite show. I keep the little cardboard container up high so that she can't see it. My thinking was - out of sight, out of mind. However, it hasn't exactly worked that way. Instead she comes over to me and raises her arms (indicating that she wants to be picked up) and then points to the not so clever hiding spot for her dvd. If I try to pretend like I don't know what she is talking about she squirms to get it herself or if I ask if she wants to watch it she laughs with excitement.

Notice Farmer Bob in her overalls pocket - he is her favorite little people character. She also loves her little cloth doll. And while she is watching the dvd, she loves to hold/maul the cover.

Discovering Sunshine

My little sunshine was discovering the sunshine today on the rug in the library.

Mischievous

Audrey loves to play in the pantry and I tend to let her if I am trying to get something done in the kitchen. So yesterday, while I was doing the dishes, she pulled out the bag of cheerios and was shaking it. This has happened many times before without incident, so I wasn't really paying attention. I look up to see Audrey sitting in a pile of cheerios in the middle of the living room. She was picking them up and dropping them and eating a few, then repeating the whole sequence.

Luckily, she enjoyed helping me pick up the cheerios and put them back into the bag, just as much as she enjoyed playing with them on the floor.

My two front teeth

It is finally here!! Audrey's other top front tooth just broke through the gums. Soon she will be able to bite with both teeth and take an even cuter picture.

On a side note, all of this teething all at once is taking its toll on the mommy - who is v. tired. I am hoping this is going to be the last in this round. 3 in the span of a 10 days has resulted in lots of long nights.

Funny Girl

Little Audrey's sense of humor is coming out more and more each day. The other day, she discovered that it is funny (i.e., that her parents laughed out loud) when she puts things on her head. Now she puts all kinds of things on there just to see if it will make us laugh. My favorite (which I didn't capture on film) was when she put some pink bloomers on her head first thing in the morning.

In this picture you can see that she put the sunglasses on her head the wrong way and then she forgot about them when she came to eat.

Peeling the walls

Grandma and I have been working hard to get Audrey's room looking very cute. We painted the walls two different colors, a lighter celery green on the top and a darker sage green on the bottom. We put up a border between the two colors that matches her bed set and we have matching window treatments to put up this week.

We finished the border on Wednesday and I thought I had given the border plenty of time to set before I put Audrey's bed close to the wall again and put some of her other furniture back in the room as well. So this afternoon I did all the rearranging before putting her down for a nap.

Apparently, that was not my best idea. As you can see, Audrey didn't sleep at all, she was too busy peeling the border off the wall - and shredding it. Luckily, from what I can tell, she didn't eat any of the border.

Another Tooth!!

I knew Audrey was getting lots of teeth all at once. I can feel them right below the surface of her gums, but it is still fun and surprising to see which teeth make it out first.

The funny thing about the latest tooth, is that it is a top tooth on the left of her left front tooth. So she is getting teeth on either side of her mouth, making it so she still only has one matching set (top and bottom) that she can bite with.


Top teeth: 2 (all on the left side of her mouth)
Bottom teeth: 3 (1 left, 2 right)

Sorry if this is confusing, I will try to get a picture as soon as these latest teeth are actually visible.

Watch Out, Nemo

Watch out Nemo - here comes Audrey!

Audrey's mom has a strange affinity for the costumes that are puffy and soft - especially when the costume has a tail. Luckily, Audrey is a good sport about trying them on - and she is the cutest little clown fish ever!!

In the top picture, Audrey headed for the stairs as soon as the costume was on.

In the bottom picture you can see her top tooth as she struggles to free herself. She would not hold still for a picture because she liked walking in the fish suit so much.

Squatter

Audrey loves to squat down and play with things and then stand up move a few feet or yards and then squat down and play again.

Here she is seen playing with two of her favorite things, the remote and her baby doll.

Teething game

Audrey just had another tooth break through on the bottom. This is her teeth score:

Bottom teeth - 3
Top teeth - 1 (a bit of a cheat even because she busted her gums open to get this one out)

We are all hoping the top teeth make a comeback soon and tie up the game. Chewing will be so much easier with a few more teeth.

Remote Control

Audrey loves to walk the remote control(s) around.
