Look what I did

I am still learning so it is a little rough but I am still proud. She is so cute!

A quick note and some pictures

My mom is here and Audrey doesn't want to sleep so this is gonna be short.

Ms. Nuemi is leaving. I am devastated. She is quitting to take care of her grandbabies. I am going to ask her if she minds having one more. I have to find a time when we are alone first though.

I am off work tomorrow and mom is going to go with me to get a lot of things that I have been putting off. It is so much easier with 2 grown ups. I can't wait for Tony to be home.

Audrey laughing

The camera work isn't the greatest. It is hard to hold the camera and kiss her belly at the same time but I was determined to catch her sweet little laugh on camera.

Peaceful weekend

Audrey was awesome this weekend. She is getting so big. She can hold her head up and keep her body straight now so you can carry her on your hip. Yesterday we did loads of laundry and took a walk. We also did a top secret project for daddy and that was really fun. Today we went to the mall and then to visit Beth and the girls. Audrey still doesn't nap well for me but she isn't cranky so I guess I can't complain. She smiles all the time now but I can't get it on camera anymore. She gets serious when the flash starts going off. I can't figure out how to not use the flash and get a decent picture so smile pictures will have to wait until Tony comes home and fixes the camera.
I did manage to get one smile.

She was laughing at me

Did I mention that we bought hair bows at the mall? She looks so cute in them.

AUDREY ROLLED OVER!!!!

AND I GOT IT ON VIDEO!!! Can you tell I am excited? I am so proud of her. It is so neat to watch them learn new things. You can tell she was proud too. Watch and be amazed.

St. Patty's day romance

There is a new baby in Audrey's class. He is a cute little 5 month old and he can kind of crawl and roll around to get where he wants to be. Well, apparently he wants to be next to Audrey. When I went to pick her up today Ms. Nuemi said "Him got a boyfriend today" (she gets her pronouns messed up) and she got out her phone to show me pictures. Apparently this little Romeo rolled over beside Audrey and was holding her hand. :-o The pictures were so cute. They were both just laying there looking at each other and holding hands and they both had the biggest smiles on their faces. Then Romeo plants a kiss right on her forehead. Ms. Nuemi got footage of all the action on her cell. Daddy has his shotgun ready. I think he is going to need it.
Happy St. Patrick's Day. Here is Audrey dressed in green for the occasion.

Sunday is supposed to be the day of rest

But Audrey didn't nap at all today. She was in a great mood all day though and we had a great time. I got lots of videos for Tony and we even went grocery shopping with no complaints. She didn't get fussy until bedtime and she was so tired but did not want to go to sleep. For some reason she always goes to bed easier when she naps well during the day. Enjoy some Awesome Audrey Footage or AAF as Tony and I call it.




Audrey playing with her pig. Notice her snort at the 30 second mark. LOL

Family

I belong to a baby forum where a bunch of other mommy's post on boards about different issues. I have noticed tons of complaints about family. Complaints about overbearing mothers and crazy in-laws are everywhere. I have come to realize that my normal family may not be the norm. Tony, Audrey, and I were blessed with a great family. We have family that is always there for us and supports us through it all. Tony's family has always made me feel like I am one of them and Tony feels the same way about my family. So...thanks for all that you do, we love you.

Nana and Papa.

She's not taking it lying down

The days of Audrey lying on her back on the floor are coming to an end. Since she is getting stronger she likes to be in a sit up position all the time. We have started eating at the dinner table every night and Audrey sits in her high chair and watches me cook and then eat. She loves her Bumbo (most of the time) and her exersaucer. She is getting so big. She still likes to chill on the floor and have a chat every now and then but she would much rather be up and looking around. She is too cute for words.

An exciting weekend

Audrey and I had visitors this weekend and we had a great time. Audrey is worn out though. She doesn't sleep well when people are around because she would rather play with them, which leads to a crankier baby. She was slightly fussy but she did pretty well all things considered.
I am a little tired too so I am not minding the time change much because it means I get to go to bed earlier tonight. One problem though, the time didn't change in Iraq so my 11 pm phone call is now at 12. Yikes! Tony is going to be getting some sleepy conversations from now on.
Here are some photos from our weekend. Oh and Audrey is 3 months old now. Can you believe it?

Lots of kisses from Grandma and Papa

Can you tell they love her? She thought they were funny.

We tried out the exersaucer. We stabilized it and put blankets around her so she wouldn't fall forward. She likes being upright these days.

My sweet baby.

Tummy time :-(

Audrey still can hardly lift her head up when she is on her tummy. It is a major struggle for her. We do tummy time every night but she hates it most of the time. They do it at daycare too. I have a feeling I am going to have an early talker and a late crawler.

A hard day for Audrey

Apparently Audrey had a rough day at daycare today. She had some wicked gas and was super fussy. Then she finally pooped and, judging from her clothes, it was an explosion. Wow! It must have fixed her ails because she was wonderful tonight. We had a great night.
