I can't believe that my little baby is already one! It was a year ago yesterday that we actually brought her home from the hospital - what a crazy first 5 days she had. I have to admit that at the time I don't think her lung "issues" bothered me all that much - I hadn't made the connection with her and it just seemed like it was happening to a random baby. I've recently started uploading our videos onto our computer, and I watched her birth and the several minutes after when they were working on her in the operating room - now that bothered me. Now she's my little girl... then, she was just a baby (and I just wasn't as fat as I had been!).
I took Aud for her one-year check up last week (and two shots, which she didn't enjoy all that much, to say the least). She hit the scales at 20 lbs and 28" (both 25%). Her head, though I don't recall the exact measurement, fell from the 95th percentile back to the 75th. Dr. Richards said that she seemed very healthy, but if she hadn't known that Audrey had just turned one, she would have thought that Aud was about 9 months old. She's just a little peanut! (But a chubby one!) She definitely didn't have any trouble chowing down on her birthday cake.Conner is having a great time at school, and is definitely learning a lot despite only going 2 days a week (do they really need any more time when they're 3 years old?). They've spent a lot of time lately talking about letters, and it's really fun to hear him recognize a lot of the letters he 
sees. He's very interested in what things say and how to spell them. Actually, the other day as I was driving him home from school, he was somewhat upset that he couldn't write his own name... told me that all of the other kids could (which I have trouble believing, but you never know!). Of course, when I told him that we could practice at home, he didn't want to. So I guess it wasn't that important to him. We'll definitely work on it, but I don't want to over-do anything and then have him refuse.

Audrey has finally started crawling for real....
though the army crawl is sometimes faster!
