Audrey

So fun getting to know my Audrey. You can tell the Grant and Audrey are siblings, but they are two completely different people.

Audrey is very independent, or tries to be as often as she can. She took her first steps on February 11th, all on her own accord. She did not want us to hold her hands and walk with her anywhere, so she didn't get sold on walking till the middle of March! What a stinker!

If you offer anything for Audrey to eat, she has to bring it to her mouth herself. How many times have I offered something for her, only to put it down and she promptly does it herself? Many, many times.

Audrey loves suckers. She can pretty much finish off a Dum Dum sucker, where as Grant will have a few licks and hands it pack to me, not wanting any more.

Audrey hates milk. We have offered and offered several different kinds of milk-soy, chocolate, strawberry, plain, in cups, sippies, with a straw, and every kind of way you can think of. She wants nothing to do with it. She gets her calcium through yogurt, any and every kind of cheese, and lots of the food she eats throughout the day have the essential calcium, and Vitamin D she needs.

Audrey is fearless. We spin her around and she lets her arms go like it is the best thing ever. Grant holds on for dear life!

She also loves to climb on things. She can climb the ladder on the slide, and its ladder rungs are pretty far apart. She has strong legs. She loves to climb on chairs and couches, and she can even manage to climb the sofa downstairs and make it to the windowsill! She's pretty agile. We have to watch her constantly!

Audrey still gets little speckles on her forehead when she gets mad. She has done that ever since she was an infant.

Audrey loves to color with me! She loves to scribble on pads and that comes in handy for church!

Audrey is loving books these days. This has not always been the case. She loves I Love You As Much..., Go, Dog. Go!, and I Feel My Savior's Love. Those are probably her three most favorite!

Audrey is not a morning person at all! It takes her a little bit to warm up to everyone in the morning. She loves her mom to hold her and get her up in the morning. (Which I don't mind! One of my fave moments of the day!) She give James scowls, and narrows her brows at him in the morning. Hopefully, she will grow out of this!

She is a special spirit, and I am so glad that I get to be her mom! Love this girl!
