Long Time, No Write

Sorry everyone for the pause in blogging. I have had some things come up that took priority. Audrey is doing good. She had a little cold last week, but got spoiled by the grandparents and is doing much better! I'll post pictures soon and hopefully will blog a little more faithfully.
Until then.........

Thank you Baby Einstein!

I am so grateful for these videos! I had to go and pick Audrey up at the daycare today b/c she has been having some bowel issues (to put it nicely!). She isn't sick or contagious, but since it went on since the middle of last week I had to go and take her to the doctor and get a note to let her go back to school. Sure enough, Dr. G said that her issues were related to her medicine (I told the daycare this!) and Audrey was not contagious at all! Ugh! I DO understand why the daycare asked me to take her to the doctor and I know I shouldn't fuss about it. I just am way behind and was ready to hit the ground running today and the call just deflated me a little. Before you think I am a terrible mother.... I knew the medicine was giving Audrey trouble and I knew she wasn't contagious (I keep in contact with the doc!). Anyway, I take Audrey to the doctor and then back home to try and get some work done from home (gotta love the ability to work from home!) She wasn't really happy with not being entertained by me. So what do you do? Pop in an educational (I hope) video and viola! Peace and Quiet (to the tune of Beethoven) so that I can get some work done! Yeah!!

Ignore the messy office and look at Audrey. All I saw everytime I checked on her was the back of her head as she watched this video.

Soooo BIG!

After her 1st bath bath (after the umbilical cord fell off).........

After her bath the other day........

The towel swallowed her whole when she was just a week or two old and now she barely fits in it! It is so cute!

7 Months!

Oh my goodness! Time has flown by! I can't believe Audrey will be 7 months old tomorrow. It seems so weird. Sometimes I feel like we just brought her home and then other days I can't remember her ever being tiny enough to fit in the crook of my arm. I love how much she is changing. I miss the baby-ness of her, but love the independent little girl she is already becoming. She really likes to do things herself. I feel like her first phrase will be: "No Audrey, mommy doesn't need your help with this". Ugh! I wish I had wonderful, profound things to write about, but the truth is I am exhausted and going to bed. Enjoy the pictures!

My Serious Valentine

I had every intention of getting pictures of Audrey into a Valentine's Day card and send to all friends and family. Unfortunately Audrey didn't have the same intentions. She was actually quite adamant that I not do this. We tried 4 different days of taking pictures and we didn't have any good pictures we could use. She wasn't really feeling well anytime we tried and that probably had a lot to do with it. Maybe she just doesn't like to be photographed. I have no idea. Anyway, I posted some pictures to give everyone an idea of what she gave me to work with. Hopefully all those I promised pictures to will forgive me!

This should have been my 1st clue that this wasn't going to be easy.

Maybe the flash was too bright?

I got this look ALOT!

A very tired and grumpy girl

Not even the cool umbrella helped us smile

Done, and I mean DONE!!!

Flowers for me

So I was sitting in my office yesterday when the receptionist called me to tell me I had a delivery up front. So I walk up there (I had already figured they were flowers from my sweet hubby) and was so pleased with my beautiful Valentine's roses. Only they weren't for Valentine's Day. They were actually for our anniversary of our engagement. YEP! That's right, B and I became engaged on February 10, 2006. The card he wrote was so sweet and I was once again reminded of how lucky I am that God brought B and I together. I am so blessed!


Thanks honey for my roses and I am so glad to have you in my life! You are a wonderful husband and best friend and I love you!

Pictures

What am I supposed to do with this?

Whoa!!! It sings and lights up?!?!?

Hey! Come back here, we're not done playing!

Daddy and Audrey

You're supposed to be changing my diaper, not taking a picture!

NOOOOO!!!! I don't want to take a nap!
