Ms. Mischevious


Little Ms. Audrey has had some tricks up her sleeve the last couple days. Yesterday I taped the video below of her "nap". This morning I put her up for her nap and was vacuuming a few minutes later while she was still awake and heard a big clunk. I couldn't tell where it was coming from so I shut off the vacuum and listened and didn't hear anything so I continued to clean. A few seconds later, I heard it again! And then another clunk. I ran upstairs, my first thought was that either her shelf above her bed had fallen off the wall or that her crib had had a mishap. Steve had lowered her mattress on Sunday so it was a possibility something may not have been tightened enough. But there was no crying so I figured it couldn't be that bad. The picture above shows what it was. It's a little hard to tell what it is without an explanation. There's a small table in between the glider and her crib. That's where some of her books are. She had put her arm through the slots in the crib and was trying to grab the books but most of them fell to the floor, the mysterious clunks I was hearing! She's a clever one!
I know these days of "innocent" fun are short and will soon become moments of disobedience and training but as for right now, they are kinda cute! She makes me smile and laugh even though she is a bit naughty :)

Weekend in Waxhaw


This Saturday we went to Waxhaw, NC for a belated birthday celebration for Steve's mom. The town is about 25 minutes from our house. Main Street is absolutely adorable! The shops were so fun to look around in! Quite a few antique shops, a cute little pet/grooming shop, an art/chocolate shop, a pottery store and a surf shop. And we ate lunch at this cute little place called Rippington's, amazing food! (Mom, we're taking you there when you come next :) Audrey sat in a restaurant highchair for the first time! We had to tuck a coat beside and behind her because she's a bit too small still. Everyone that we spoke to was so friendly and kind. Audrey received much adoration by many as well! Two woman at the restaurant held her for quite some time and one of the ladies kept kissing her on the face!

We parked the car right beside the train tracks and just couldn't pass up a photo op! I think they turned out pretty cute, don't you?

Snug as a bug

Yay for a day of family fun, walking and shopping!

Tagged


So, I was tagged by my friend Jeanie to go to my 6th folder of pictures and find the 6th picture. Here's what I found. It's a picture of Steve and his dad getting ready to go skiing in Virginia. It was taken last winter, I think in February if I remember right. I was starting to get pretty big with Audrey then. I guess that's it, short and sweet for this post!

Oh, before I go: Kath, Sarah P, Emily C and Ashley F, I tag you!

Sitting pretty on 'fake' Thanksgiving


Audrey decided she was ready to start sitting up this last Saturday. She didn't really even practice. We just sat her up and she stayed put! Because she's had reflux the past 3 months, we try to keep her on her back because putting any pressure on her tummy makes her throw up. Thus limitiong her time to practice sitting. Anyway, she's a pro now!We also celebrated Thanksgiving on Saturday with Steve's side of the family at his mom's house in Rock Hill, SC. And did we eat well! Thanks Sandi for all your hard work! It was all SOOOO GOOD!
