10 months old...

Audrey is 10 months old today! We actually don't have a doctor's appointment this month - one of the few months we don't, so no stats this month. She is still our petite, bald baby. Audrey is doing well. She still isn't crawling, but she gets around when she really wants to by scooting, bouncing, rolling, reaching, and army crawling backwards. She has been getting up on her knees more often, but she hasn't taken off yet. Maybe she'll be like her mother and not crawl until she's 12 months old. No worries, I turned out okay (well, some may argue that). Audrey is our little chatterbox. She often has something to say, sometimes to someone in particular and other times to no one in particular. We love watching and listening to her babble. We are still working on the sleeping-thru-the-night trick. Some nights she surprises us and other nights she's up once or twice. She no longer is fed when she gets up in the middle of the night though. It usually just takes 5 minutes of soothing her and then she's back to sleep. She has become a bit of an early riser though, she's usually up by 6:30. Audrey still takes two naps a day. She has learned quite a few tricks in the past couple of weeks. She loves to clap and will clap on cue when you start singing, "If you're happy and you know it...". Audrey also makes a very cute smacking sound. The other night after family prayer she just starting smacking away, because she knew kisses were next. She doesn't really give kisses, but she makes the smacking noise. :) Tonight Andy was working with her on blowing kisses and she does a pretty good job of that. Audrey loves to play with Rachel's kitchen stuff. She's good at pretending to mix up food, feed herself, and drink from a cup. Depending on how messy I want mealtime to be I'll just let her take charge and she usually enjoys feeding herself. This afternoon she was having fun trying to stick her mac-n-cheese on her fork. Audrey is a busy little baby and we wouldn't have it any other way. We definitely love this precious baby girl to pieces. :)

She is darling. It will be fun to get the two babies together and they can teach each other their tricks!
