Oh no....

I accidentally deleted all of the photos on my old posts. I will do my best to fix it but it may take a long while. No promises either.

Audrey's new trick

She puckers up her lips and blows out thru her nose. It is really funny.

It's been 6 months already

Can you believe it? Audrey is 6 months old today. She has changed so much.
This is her 6 months ago.

And this is her now.

She is so cute in both pictures but isn't amazing how much she has changed?
She eats solid foods now. She has had: Avocado, sweet potato, peas, butternut squash, oatmeal, rice cereal, plums, carrots, apples, and pears. She is starting to try to drink out of a cup too but she is not that great at it yet.

She sits up well on her own. She spends most of her day playing while sitting.

She is happy (almost) all of the time. She is lots of fun to play with and she always helps mommy around the house.

She can hold herself up in a standing position. She is getting so big.

She puts herself to sleep every night after bath and nursing. She usually is in bed by 7:30. She usually sleeps until around 4 and wakes up to eat. Then she is up for the day around 7. She takes two 1-2 hour naps on most days, sometimes more and sometimes less.

She is wearing size 2 diapers, 6-9 mo sleepers, 0-3 mo or 3-6 mo dresses and onesies, and 3-6 mo pants.

Her favorite toys are Sophie the giraffe, her keys, and her snuggle bunny. She loves baths and swimming and is going to be a total water baby.

She can say: Da-da-da-da, Ma-ma-ma-ma, and lots of other things like that but they aren't nearly as exciting as Mama and Dada. (We know she doesn't know what she is saying but it still melts your heart.)

I will report back to you after her check-up on Wednesday for her height, weight, and head circumference.

I've got the funk!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I have an abscess on my face and I have been in lots of pain. No worries friends. It has been drained (I went under the knife) and now its oozing all kinds of lovely stuff. I look absolutely amazing. ;) I am feeling lots better too thanks to my friends Fentanyl and Percocet.
Love you all!

Tyler Florence better watch out!

I whipped up some butternut squash for Audrey tonight and it is 10xs better than the fancy schmancy Tyler Florence butternut squash. I am not just saying that either. My squash was TO. DIE. FOR. and it cost WAY less than his. Oh and FYI...my peas were better too.

Here is some footage of Audrey sitting. She is getting good at it.

Photos from the best childcare provider ever

Today was the last day for Audrey at Ms. Jacky's. I am not going to miss the drive but I am definitely going to miss the excellent care she received when she was there. She is so happy there. Here are some awesome pictures that Ms. Jacky took when Audrey was staying there. Doesn't she do an awesome job???

Audrey tells it like it is

Audrey is doing a new thing where she, well... you'll see.

Sorry that you have to tilt youf head to the side, I forgot the rules of video.

Audrey this morning

This is how I found Audrey this morning. She got her arm out.

Happy Baby = Happy Birthday

Audrey gave me the best gift in the world for my birthday today. She was so happy. We had such a good time together tonight. Being her mommy is the best thing I have ever done. Its amazing how much things change in a year. Last year, my birthday was amazing too but in an entirely different way. I was pregnant and I spent my birthday with my family and my husband. This year, I was alone except for my baby girl. Its crazy how content I am just hanging out with her. I miss my husband and my family like crazy but I am also incredibly happy here in TX with Audrey and my friends here.
Thank you for all of the gifts and well wishes. If you still want to get me something just donate some money to Meg (see post below). She is walking 60 miles in 3 days! :-o

Her toes are her new obsession. Thanks for the new outfit Nana.

The bouncer is FUN!

LOL! This picture is hilarious. She was telling me a story.

Breast cancer sucks!

Help make sure that A doesn't ever have to deal with it by helping them find a cure. My friend Meg is doing the Susan G. Komen 3-day race for the cure in honor of her aunt and she needs some support. She has set her goals high and I want to help her reach them. If you want to donate, click the button at the top of this post. Remember that is all tax deductible and you get a receipt e-mailed to you after you donate.

Breast cancer makes A cry. =(
