Momma, what's vacation mean?

Coming to you from the sandy beaches of North Wildwood, NJ! Here's Miss Audrey, our bathing beauty :)

9 months!! (+2 days)

Audrey turned 9 months old on Saturday! Again, and I say this every month, where the heck is time going???? So what's Audrey up to these days?

She's:

-crawling everywhere and doing it super fast, she definitely keeps me on my toes

-cruising around the furniture

-dancing (as seen in the video below)

-saying "dog" to Hays, "baby" to the little baby on the diaper package, "mama" (yeah!!!), "dada", and lots of other babbling

-possibly cutting her top two teeth...we'll see

-eating everything in sight, but still a little peanut

-finally starting to grow some hair

-just generally the happiest baby I ever saw!

Here's her monthly picture in the green chair:

I didn't make the sign this sign this month because a. she usually just eats it and b. we were busy celebrating another birthday: The big 3-0 for Ben!!

And now for a shamless vote plea:

I entered Audrey in a beautiful babies contest!!! Go here:

and give Audrey a 10!!

Let's dance!

Here's a short clip of Audrey shaking what her mama gave her! At the end you can see what a speed demon she is these days ;)

We're back...sort of

My computer is still dead...boo!

Thankfully, Ben let me upload some pics on his laptop. Here are a few from the past few weeks and hopefully we can get back to normal :)

At the pool

Making Daddy's painting for Father's Day!

And I FINALLY got a picture of Audrey's teeth...behold the chompers!

8 Months Old!

My little baby ain't so little anymore...Audrey is 8 months old today!!! She is crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything, climbing up stairs, and talking up a storm. She is even waving "hi" to us in the morning. She loves her puffs and banging on the window when Hays is outside. She has literally grown up before our eyes!

I wish I could post some pictures of beautiful Miss A, but my computer crapped out on me :( Hopefully the Geeksquad will fix it all up and we'll return to our regularly scheduled blogging...

May days

We've been having lots of fun this May! The weather has finally started to get nice again!

Chilling in the backyard

Hanging out with dad at the park

Enjoying a nice cold beverage over Memorial day weekend :)~

Waiting for the parade to start

Whoa! Look what I can do...

Time to lower the crib again!

Ok, can she be any cuter??

Audrey loves Hays...

Unfortunately, Hays doesn't feel the same way. Look at that dog's face!

Audrey has been pulling up on the couch too...look one hand!

Big smiles!!

This is her "I'm gonna git you sucka" face

Having a playdate in the park with her new friend Grace

And now, the goofiest picture of Audrey to date...

Rub-a-dub-dub

Audrey's in the tub! Audrey has grown out of her newborn bath tub...so introducing Mr. Ducky Bath!! First, let's reminisce about Miss A in her younger bathing days... She looks comfortable, huh?

Fast forward a few months, Audrey is having a fabulous time in her big yellow duck!

In other news, we took a trip down to Columbus so Dad could get sworn into the Ohio Bar!

Kisses from Mom!

In the big fancy bathroom of the Ohio Theater

And last but not least, Audrey is now the proud owner of two teeth! A picture would be great, but have YOU ever tried to get a shot inside the mouth of 7 month old. Believe me, they're there...this kid's a powerful bite! Ouch!
