Video Post

Here are some videos of Audrey's latest tricks...


First, it's peek-a-boo & clapping our hands all while eating cheerios! What a multi-tasker!

Next, Audrey has figured out how to get off of the furniture

And finally, she's putting those long legs to good use!

Audrey: 1 Bumbo: 0

Around 8 months the bumbo seat becomes completely useless. Please see the battle of Audrey v. Bumbo:

Round 1

Here is Audrey, looking like the angel that she is, resting comfortably in the bumbo...

Round 2

Behind that beautiful smile a little scheming is going on "hmmm, how am I gonna get out of this thing??"

Round 3

And she's off!!! Look at her go!!! As a side note, this girls has got some long legs...ZZ top comes to mind

Round 4

Success!!! Audrey: 1 Bumbo: 0

10 Months!

It's the 11th & Audrey is another month older! I'm sure you can guess how I'm feeling, so let's just get to the pictures!!!

It is getting increasingly harder to take a picture of Audrey in the green chair. Here's a little glimpse into how our photo shoot went this morning and what I can only imagine was going on in Audrey's head...

"This sign has no chance, haven't you learned that yet mom?"

"Alright, time to make my escape"


"Oh, wait! Who is that gorgeous baby???"

"Let me see if I can get a closer look"

(the monkey child was safe)

"Hey thanks mom for getting me my teddy in hopes of getting a smile out of me..."

"...but I think I'll just take a little snooze right here"

"Give it back to meeeeeee"

"Oh hi Hays! Did you really think an outfit change would make this any easier"

"Well, how about a little kissy face?"

"Here!! Here's your smile!! Happy 10 months to me!!!"

Clap on, Clap off...

The Clapper!!! Audrey was so happy when daddy came home from work today!

I think I'm slowly losing the battle of who Audrey looks like more, don't you think?

Summer Lovin'

Wow! I am actually able to upload pictures on the ancient Dell desktop I pulled out of storage! Perhaps, the blog will come back to life :)

We've been having lots of fun this summer! A long trip to see Mom Mom & Pop Pop at the Jersey shore, lots of playdates, and just enjoying the beautiful Cleveland weather.

Here's Audrey showing off her new shoes...what a sad face!

Not so sad for Jammie time!
Having fun in the backyard

Our little girl is growing up FAST! She is standing for a few seconds on her own, loves to clap her hands & has 3 teeth!. I can't believe she'll be 10 months next week! Do I really have to start planning her 1st birthday party??? YIKES!
