Audrey, 8 Months Old

This little lady is on the move.  If you walk into the other room she's right there behind you.  Max quickly learned to put all his toys out of her reach.  She's also pulling up and holds onto our hands and walks around the house.  In the past month Audrey became the proud owner of one very sharp tooth.

Likes: Hugs, Ricky, Max, Max's toys, banana, avocado, chewing on everything

Dislikes: Sleeping at night

Wagon Ride

Close Up

These kids are fast.  It's difficult to get a picture of them before they are THIS CLOSE to the camera.

You can thank Audrey for these

Max is napping and the only place Audrey will sleep is on my lap.  Which is where she is right now.  So I'm stuck for a while with nothing to do besides post a couple more pictures from this week.  

She's so serious these days.

This buttered bread is far more interesting than getting a picture taken with my sister.

Projects and Procrastination

Audrey has been residing in our bedroom her entire 7 months of life, mostly because of laziness on my part.  Taking two steps from our bed to her crib in the middle of the night is just so easy!  Plus I hadn't prepared a room for her yet (second child, what can I say?).  Monday I drew the line and kicked her out.  I still didn't have anything for her room but quickly came up with a list of projects to get started on.

Then I got a new camera lens in the mail.  I got sidetracked.

Max is always a good model.

"Hey little sister!".  I know, I probably shouldn't let him climb on the crib but he was making her giggle.  How can I stop that?

Not even a smile.  Just one picture then I'll get back to decorating, I promise!

Christmas

Just more proof that Christmas can still be memorable (in a good way) despite several runny noses.  The tree was a hit with the little ones, we all ate lots of delicious food, the kids were spoiled, and most importantly we just enjoyed each other's company.

The twinkling lights are hypnotizing.

Max liked to give kisses to the rocking horse ornaments.

"Who's this guy?"

Looking pretty in her Christmas outfit.

The guys played with one of Max's new toys which, of course, involved cars.

Audrey got a new best friend.  Ricky was pleased about his new stuffed animal, too.

Decorating Cookies

It's not Christmas unless you are making (and eating) cookies!

Aunt Chantal explained to Max how to decorate the cookie to look like Santa.

It started off with Aunt Chantal decorating and Max picking everything off and eating it. 

Then the red sprinkles came out.

You can never have too much sprinkles.

Ta da!  The masterpiece!
