7 weeks old & Happy Birthday to Me!!

It's been a busy couple of weeks and I am finally getting a chance to update you all on how little Miss Audrey is doing. It is amazing how quickly things change! When she is awake she is so much more alert, follows things with her eyes, and if she's in a new environment she is studying all of it's details. She is also cooing and smiling and making so many other noises in response to us talking to her or even without being provoked at all. Her favorite thing is to laugh at us when we realize what little (or big!) present she has left for us when we take her to the changing table.

Yesterday was my birthday and Audrey's gift to me the last few nights has been to sleep for 6-7 hours! She is doing great and I am a very proud Momma! Yesterday was also Audrey's first night at a sushi restaurant and she did great...it was a little run through for Marcos and I to see how she'd do (and how we'd do for that matter) in a restaurant. She definitely demonstrated her restaurant manners for us. :) Tonight we are going to dinner with my parents and my sister, Julia, so we'll see if she enjoys an Italian restaurant as much as a sushi restaurant. :) After dinner we went to the Farmers Market that they have by our house which was a lot of fun. We ran into one of our old boot camp instructors, Darren, who also works for Upland PD. Last time he saw us he was getting us in shape for our wedding so it was fun to get to introduce him to Audrey.

Below are some pics from the past two weeks in chronological order. (That's my OCD for ya!) Enjoy!!

Showing off one of her outfits from "across the pond" - a gift from our old neighbors (The Smiths) who now live in England.

Meeting her first girlfriend, Kaitlyn Mackenzie - her daddy, Matt, was best man at our wedding.

Mommy and Audrey showing their Laker pride (so what if her shirt is too big and mine is a smidge too tight thanks to breastfeeding, haha!!)



I love hanging out with Grandma and getting a bottle too! :)

Exhausted Daddy and Audrey!

First time falling asleep in her swing. Ok, so it's starting to freak me out a little how much Audrey looks like I did in pictures from when I was a baby. We will be down at my parents house this weekend and I will try to find some pics to scan to show the similarities.

Hanging out poolside with my Great Grandma - Lita!! :)

Last day at our Moms' Group - we're still working on the group picture thing and getting Audrey to look towards the camera. The boys in the pic are about 10 weeks old and the other baby girl (second from the left) was born 2 days after Audrey.

In case I lose track of time when Audrey is napping she is so thoughtful to rotate around in her bassinet to let me know what time it is. In this picture she is demonstrating 12:00.

And here she has rotated to 3:00 - time to get up and eat again! What a smart girl, huh?!? :)

Heading out the door but she had a major case of bed head so we had to rinse her hair out first. See the curls when it's still wet? She looks like a different baby to me when her head is wet!
