Look what Audrey can do.

She can grab her rattle now. I found her in the living room this morning with her doll in one hand and her rattle in the other and this is how I found her tonight.

She did it again. She is getting so big. I am so proud of her. She "talks" constantly and she can make a lot of sounds now. She also follows me around the room with her eyes and she fusses at me when I leave her sight. She is super cute these days. I can't wait until everyone gets to see her. Especially Tony.
Here are some more pictures that just need to be posted because they are so cute.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day. I am not a big fan of this holiday but it was ok. We went to eat at Beth's and dinner was great. The rest of the day was spent playing on the floor and watching chick flicks. I did get Audrey dressed up for the big day. She scratched her face before I could do her nails though.

3-6 months already

Audrey has graduated to the 3-6 month size in sleepers. She is good with the 0-3 month sizes on anything without feet but if its got the feet she needs 3-6 month. She is so long. I have no idea where she gets that from because Tony and I aren't very tall. Hopefully she will stay tall. Beth (from work) got her a bunch of sleepers and they are so cute. Thanks Beth!
We have a busy weekend of eating planned. Tomorrow night my friend Jacky invited us for dinner and then we are having a candlelight dinner with Beth and the girls on Saturday for V-day. Its very exciting.
Oh and 1 more thing...Audrey and I want to say Happy Birthday to Auntie Heather. We hope you have a great one and we wish we could be there.

Here are some pictures of Audrey in her new sleeper:

My little oven

Audrey is so hot natured, one of the many traits she gets from her daddy. She gets so hot in her car seat that her little back sweats. At night I have to dress her in light weight sleepers or she will be a sweaty mess when she wakes up in the morning. her daycare lady used to question me about her lack of covering but not anymore. She has had her pants off the last 2 days. At least there is no more Urkel going on. I am not looking forward to the TX heat with her this summer. I think we will do a lot of swimming.

Don't we make pretty babies???

I really don't have much to say today except "Don't Tony and I make some pretty babies?" Check out our baby girl sporting a mohawk. Love her.

2 month check up

Today Audrey had her 2 month check up and she did really well. She weighs 11lb 4.5oz and is 23 inches long. Her head is 16 inches around. She is going to be brilliant with a brain that big. I took the rest of the day off and played with her all day. She is so much fun these days. The Pediatrician said I need to try to get her to face her right more often because she is developing a slight slant on her head. I will definitely work on that but at least she has hair to cover up her misshapen head if I can't fix the problem.

Ready for her Dr. visit

Cute little smirk.

2 months (and 1 day) old

Audrey was 2 months old yesterday. She is growing up so fast. My mom came to visit this weekend and we had a great time. She couldn't believe how much Audrey has grown since her last visit. She really has changed a lot and I don't notice as much because I am with her every day. Her hair is much lighter and longer, she now has some really cute rolls, she can let you know what she wants without crying, and she laughs out loud (that is the best one). She has always been cute but she seems to get cuter everyday. I think that she is going to be a ninja when she grows up because she is always kicking. She might have to be a kick boxer instead though because she already talks way too much to be stealth. Tomorrow she has her 2 month check up and we get to see her normal pediatrician for the first time. I am excited to see how much she weighs now and how long she is. She is graduating to the next size in diapers on her next pack and pretty soon she will have to switch to 3-6 month clothes. She is already too long for her 0-3 month footed clothes. I think I am going to try to make Audrey a quilt out of all her memorable clothes. It will be quite the undertaking but I am ready for the challenge and I think it will be a great keepsake for her later in life. Here she is looking cute in her 1st Cav onesie.

Love the teacher, hate her fashion sense.

Audrey's daycare teacher Ms. Nuemi (no idea how to say it) is wonderful. She sings songs, reads stories, does tummy time, baby massage, and all sorts of exciting things. She never just sticks the kids in a swing or the bouncy seat. Every time I go in there there is a fun activity going on. I love her. Plus she washes all of Audrey's bottles and sterilizes them in the steamer when they are empty which definitely helps with my nighttime routine. There is just one problem, she dresses my child like a dweeb. I always send her in something cute but she is her father's child and always gets messy. You would think this wouldn't be a problem because Audrey has 2 back up outfits there to change into. But Ms. Nuemi doesn't match the tops with the bottoms. Today my child came home in this lovely ensemble:

Notice how well the patterns coordinate. She had the bib on too. Also, see how she is rocking the Urkel pants? That is how Ms. Nuemi likes them. Even if she remains her original cute outfit, her pants are jacked up to her armpits. Today we had to come home and change before going to the the PX. I couldn't let my baby go out like that. From now on I will have to remember to pack an outfit for my baby just in case. The bad part is that once these fashion errors occur, she is left with an equally unfashionable outfit at school. I guess from now on its one pieces only or I will only send one outfit at a time. Oh well, I guess I should consider myself lucky that that is all I have to complain about.
Pictures from yesterday:

The hardest day as mommy yet.

Yesterday was a horrible day. I was sick! I mean really sick. I had the worst stomach virus I have ever had in my entire life. Audrey was scheduled to start daycare yesterday so since I felt so bad and I didn't want her to get sick I went ahead and took her. Her teacher is very nice and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. I got home from dropping her off and got even sicker. I was panicking because I knew that I couldn't take care of her like I was. I decided to let her go spend the night with my boss, Sheryl. When I picked her up at daycare they said she didn't cry the entire day and ate like a champ. She seemed very happy. I took her to my work and dropped her off with Sheryl and went home to go to bed. At 7 Sheryl called and said that Audrey was having an allergic reaction. Apparently she is allergic to cats, like her daddy. Sheryl brought her home. Luckily we were both doing much better by the time she got to the house. Sheryl stayed until it was almost time for Audrey to go to bed and things went fine after that. I am feeling so much better today. I still haven't attempted to eat anything but I don't have a fever anymore and my stomach seems to be settled. I was so hard leaving her at daycare for the first time and thinking about spending an entire night without her. I don't know how Tony does it. He is the strongest man I know.

A happy baby

Audrey is such a happy baby! I am so thankful. She smiles and squeals constantly. It is so cute. She is almost never fussy.
Tomorrow she is going to daycare. I am currently debating on how much milk to send with her. I have tons in the freezer but I have no idea how much she eats. I guess they can always call me if she runs out. I am only 3 minutes away.
I got a chest freezer on Friday and I am planning on stockpiling the breast milk. I have been pumping after Audrey eats every time and my supply is already going up. I am having to drink tons of water though because it is making my skin really dry.
Gotta run. It's time for the big game. Audrey and I are going to watch it together.

I fed her and she fell asleep. I put her in her crib and she woke up and started playing.

She had a big time.

See..

After going back to sleep with mommy. She is waking up again.
