8 Months

8 months ago today, Miss Audrey was born!

She is all. over. the. place!!! Crawling is second nature, and pulling up to hang on to things is getting to be that way, too.  She is fearless and doesn't seem to be afraid of falling, much to our dismay.

She still just has the two lower teeth, but she sure is working hard on the top ones!

She's still a skinny minny and we've taken to fattening up her food.  The doctor had initially suggested butter in her cereal, but now that we know she's allergic to dairy, we're putting coconut oil in her food.  Don't really know if it's helping all that much, although I'm afraid that if we weren't, she'd be losing weight or just maintaining with all the exercise she gets!

Just this past week she's started saying "da da da da da" and Erik is super excited.  He feels a bit guilty, so they practice "ma ma ma ma", too.

We love our sweet girl!

Easter

I started to make Audrey an Easter basket out of fabric and cording, but it sits, even now, unfinished on my bedside table.  I *will* finish it, though.  I can just use it as a decoration, I guess.  Once I admitted to myself that I would never finish in time, I ran to Michael's and found this basket, ribbon and ruffle in under 15 minutes.  It was super easy to put together...I just basted the ruffle with some quilting thread and attached the bow with a pipe cleaner.  Done.

Just a few empty eggs, some bath toys, and crinkly toys.  We completely forgot we bought a bedtime book for her and just gave it to her last night...oops!

We went to Sunday school and then took Audrey home for a nap.  She's always sooo exhausted after both church and Sunday school, we knew she'd never make it all day at with the family if we didn't let her sleep.

We spent the day at Nanna and Grandaddy's with all the family, including Nana.  Good food and good times!

The girls wore their bunny t-shirts that Lisa and I made one day using a tutorial Lisa found on Pinterest.  It's always so hard to get a good picture of all three of them!  Such sweet girls!

Bluebonnets

We had a chance to snag some family photos in the bluebonnets this spring. We went out first as a family and Erik and I took turns taking pictures in a field down the road from our babysitter's house. Later, we met up with my brother and his family and took turns taking family photos. Audrey did great for such a long day being out and about and we saw some really beautiful flowers!

7 Months

I figure I need to get up a 7 month post before Audrey turns 8 months old!

Our little girl may be small, but the girl is strong and agile and has some spunk! She's crawling, can go from a crawl to a full sit, and can pull herself up and even take a few steps hanging on to a couch. Everyone who watches her describes her as "busy" and they are right. She loves to watch people and really doesn't know a stranger. She's not saying much these days aside from 'ahhhh'. She's such a happy girl and most people wonder if she ever cries. I assure you, she does! But not much ; )
