Audrey bear, you have grown up so much. You are really something these days. So smart, bossy, funny, and sweet.

You say:

I love you soooo much

What is going on here?

Pock-i-sauce instead of popsicle

Abs-a-tushy instead of absolutely

Things are "super far away"
Hey everybody - you say this if trying to get someones attention and are being ignored

You love the dogs, until you don't. You love the disney fairy movies. You are a dancing machine. You spend a lot of time in the pool.   You love your floatie.

You eat noodles everyday and you call all variations..."mac and cheese". You also like peas, berries, grapes, any kind of chip (especially with salsa) and most of all, chocolate. 

When you wake up in the morning you tell us the "sun came up" (very excited).  You tell all kinds of stories. Some we can follow. Almost all include the story line of a slip and fall down ending with crying.  (Audrey slip, fall down, cry). 

You are hilarious and sweet and also really frustrating. You are intentionally funny at times.  Things have to be a certain way or else you lose it. Do not try to change the routine on Audrey.

You love being chased around the house.  "chase me.  chase audi.  run.  fast."

You love your pink dress. And pink shoes.  And you are starting to wear your fairy underwear instead of a diaper. You started a new preschool at Castlehill. Ben is in your class and you seem to really like it. Your teachers are Mrs. Fleming and Miss Desi. 

Everyone loves you. You really are something so special.  I can't wait to see what you do next.

These last six months have been awesome.  You are developing such a huge personality.  You are funny! You love making jokes and making other people laugh. 

Some things you love to do:
-go in the jacauzzi with Dada.  You can blow bubbles and submerge your face now.  You love jumping, playing with cups and floating on your back and tummy (with Dada's help).
-Race! You count to three (you can go all the way to 7 now!) and shout "Go" and then you are off.  You are getting so fast.  And you always tell Mama.."Fast, fast"
-carry bags and purses and other "stuff".  Sometimes you have so many things in your hands that you can barely walk.  Almost always included: baby, baby's blanket, Goodnight Moon and at least one purse. 
-eat berries, ice cream, soup ("soups") and noodles of any sort

-school! You are a catapillar at Lamb's Gate this year. And you love it. Miss Julie is your wonderful teacher and your best friends are Carolien, Mason and Isiah. 
- open gym class- you are great at hanging on the bar, walking on the balance beam and jumping on the trampoline. 

Your current favorite movie is Cinderella.   You just got over loving The Sound of Music and we still watch it, Despicable Me and Wall-E a lot. 

You have learned the art of negotiation, sort of.  Whenever you want something and we say no, you say "One?, please!" and stick your little pointer finger out.  It cracks up both us.  You have also started requesting "2 minutes" when we tell you it is time for nap or bedtime. 

We lost your baby sister this week.  Her name was June and she was born at 19 weeks old.  We miss her so much and are so sad.  Part of the reason we are so sad is because we wanted you to have a sister so badly.  You would have been 2.5 years apart and I think you would have adored your little sister.  I imagined that you would have helped Mama take care of her.  You would have been protective and sweet with her.  

Mama and Dada just adore you and have so much fun watching you grow and learn new things.
