An Audrey Update

It's after 10 PM, and Aud is sitting next to me on the loveseat. She had issues going to bed while Eric & I were in Las Vegas; even now that we're back, my easy bedtimer isn't so easy anymore! Audrey woke up still tired this afternoon from her nap and seemed ready to go to bed after dinner and a bath, but as soon as she got up there by herself she got very upset. I tried to leave her up there for a while this evening, but as I went back up to get Conner in bed she was standing in her crib with tears and snot running down her face. I know she's dead tired but she just doesn't want to be up there by herself! Hopefully she'll get over this soon.

Otherwise, Aud's doing great. She's got a new tooth coming in, but unfortunately it's not one of the front ones! It's one of the 2-year molars in the back (at least those are on time!). Every day I'm amazed with her words - we have a couple of picture books that I think she knows every word in... you all may not understand what she's saying, but Eric and Conner and I do! She's become very interested in actually hearing the stories from the books instead of just looking at the pictures ("read!").
New favorite phrases: "I got it", "I did it" and "I see" (Conner always said "me" everything, so I'm happy hearing the I's!)

Her hair has grown an amazing amount since just this summer, though Audrey's not happy with having barrettes in it - maybe that will just take time? Hopefully. She's also been doing great at going potty and has had a lot more dry diapers. I don't think it will be too long before she's dry and wearing panties! What a big girl.

With all of the snow this week, Aud and I have spent a lot of time inside. Eric and Conner, though, have gone sledding a couple of times - today being the most recent. They met some friends at Eastfork Lake this afternoon and had a blast. Conner actually came home and fell asleep on the couch (until he fell off and woke up!). He really needs to get back to school - hopefully Monday will be the day. He went last Monday but we've both had snow days ever since!

We spent some time on Thursday playing play-doh while the electricity was out - it was pretty funny! Conner likes to build stuff, but Aud was more interested in taking the empty cups and stacking them up. At least she didn't try to eat it!

We played Play-Doh. . .

And we danced.
