She Crawls!

I am counting it! She has been sooo close for weeks and she finally is getting the hang of it. It might take her awhile for her to get to where she wants to go but she manages. I certainly would not classify her as a "cruiser" but in time, I am sure it will come.


Last week we had our first sick visit to the Dr. Eight months is a pretty good stretch! She had a snotty nose and it went to her eyes. Luckily I was able to get her in the Dr. office last minute on Friday. A shot of antibiotic's and 10 days worth of amoxacillan , 24 hours and she was good to go.

She is starting to pull herself up on the furniture and has found some new toys in the kitchen. Time to child proof, everything!

This weekend she is taking her first overnight trip to Grandma and Grandpas house without mom and dad. Yes... that's right. Parents only weekend!

The chair is IN!

We returned from vacay with a message that our chair is in! Of course we picked it up the next day.. Audrey is enjoying!

HHI 2009

We survived! The first family vacation was a success! Audrey did so well in the car. She fell asleep as predicted a little after 8pm and woke up right when we were getting into S.C. Mom and Dad were a little exhausted but once we got to our villa, we got our second wind. 7 days of pure family time and relaxation. We went to the beach right away then spent the next couple of days jumping between the beach and the pool.
We spent one day in Savannah, which was very cool. I will say though, that Savannah is NOT a stroller friendly city. Note to self, do not bring an umbrella stroller when the streets and sidewalks are mostly cobblestone. Poor Audrey, had shaken baby syndrome from all of the speed bumps.

We rented bikes and a cart for Audrey and did quite a bit of biking. The weather was perfect with the exception of a few cloudy days but manageable. Audrey was so excited to be back in her own crib. She slept in for us on Sunday and is in recovery mode. Here are my favorite pics and video from vacay. Enjoy!






Audrey's swim lessons are paying off!


This is the gator that was living in our backyard. Since the girls were without puppy this week they adopted him.
