Shoes

Audrey loves shoes. She associates shoes with going outside and there is nothing better than going outside. In fact, it seems to be her goal in life to spend as much time outside as possible.

If there are shoes anywhere within her reach she will bring them to me so that I can put them on her feet. In this picture, she is bringing both her shoes and my shoes to me. After I oblige and put the shoes on, she will take my hand and start pulling me either to the door of the porch or the stairs going down to go out.

Which brings up another interesting point, she says about 6 words consistently - daddy, uh oh, all done, cheese, shoes and out or outside. They usually go in this order - cheese (when I open the fridge door), uh oh (as she is dropping the cheese on the floor), all done (along with her signs for that), shoes (accompanied with pointing in the general direction of her shoes) and outside (while pulling me along).
