Audrey: 19 months (February)

Audrey loves to go to the park and climb, swing and go down the slides. She really thinks she is bigger and more capable than she is so I have to stay close. At least one time, every time we go to the park, I save her life. I catch her right before her head hits the concrete or before she face plants off the top of the slide. Ugh. It's exhausting constantly averting disaster, but welcome to motherhood :)

Swinging and squealing go hand in hand.

I guess it's time to go up a pant size, sweet cheeks! At her last appointment, she was 90% for weight and 80% for height and head size. I think I have been putting her in 2T stuff that's a bit too big for her, but will last a few extra months of wear.

A special treat at Xoom (sounds like "zoom") Juice. After story time we head over to the smoothie place and split one three ways. So good.

Audrey will readily help herself to snacks out of the pantry if I leave the door open. On this particular day, she appeared with a huge marshmallow in each hand.

We were lucky to get some snow on the mountain this year and took the kids to sled. And when I say "sled", I mean slide down a "hill" on a Rubbermade lid. I put them in the warmest clothes they had and they had a blast. We took breaks in the car to warm up, but they were so sad when we finally had to head back home because it was getting dark. So glad we can visit the snow and not have to live in it.

"Tucson gloves" aka wool socks.

Devon and Audrey play so well together and even though sharing is a challenge, as it always seems to be, they are cute little friends.

Seriously, how cute is this outfit? I take the kids to the pet store about every other week and we visit all the animals. Audrey goes insane ... INSANE over the fish. She pounds on the tanks and whispers (while somehow simultaneously yelling),"Ish! Ish! Ish! Wow! Wow!"

Audrey is such a sweet little girl and it is mesmerizing to watch her grow and learn. She is so smart and such a happy little dolly.
