An Update Finally, Jerseylicious, and Almost 16 Months

Thank you very much to our family and friends who have patiently waited for an update to the blog even after months of clicking on the link only to find the dreaded "Snotsucker" post month and month. Well, here we are again! This is where I insert my explanation/excuses for why I have waited months to tell you more about the fabulous Ms. Audrey but I will not bore you with that so here you go. :)

Audrey turns 16 months old in 3 days and she is as busy and lively as ever. She is into everything and loves to empty cabinets, drawers, purses, you name it so we spend a lot of time directing her towards things that we are okay with her practicing her organizational skills on. She understands so much of what we say whether it's in English or Spanish. She is super affectionate (when she wants to be) and is definitely one assertive little girl! We are having a blast with her and are so proud to see how everyday it seems like she has something new to show or do for us. I will eventually fill in the gap in time since we missed her hospital stay, Easter, 1st Birthday, and many more events in the months that I have neglected you sweet blog. Enjoy the update!

Not sure why Blogger will not let me rotate this picture and although it pains me to post it in the wrong direction I thought it was so cute that you wouldn't care what angle you were looking at it from! :)

The snotsucker!

Here's a great Mommy Tip....actually Marcos was the one who came home with it but I'm sharing it with everyone. It's called the snotsucker and it works great! Audrey hates the nasal bulb aspirator from the hospital but her doctor recommended this when we went to have her seen because of her nasty cold. Mommy's & Daddy's you need to get your hands on one of these for your babies and throw those bulbs away! http://www.nosefrida.com/index.html

10 months old!!

Audrey turned 10 months old last Sunday. She is doing great and really starting to exercise her independence. She is still crawling and sometimes it is so fast it seems like she has figured out how to run-crawl. She pulls herself up with ease on everything, even the walls. She can stand with one arm helping her balance on the couch, chair, etc. and she can move herself from one thing to another (e.g. the couch to the Ottoman) while standing and guiding herself around.

She loves trying the different foods that we eat and wants nothing to do with baby food besides the fruits and veggies. She wants the real thing! So we do a lot of cutting things up into bite size pieces and she feeds herself with ease, it's a mess but she makes it look easy. One cute thing she'll do is if you feed her first and the food is in her mouth she'll pick up another piece and if you open your mouth she'll feed you. She's having a great time with all of it!

I just read something about your babies first visit to the dentist and I think I have to look into that since Audrey already has 8 teeth with another 4 ready to make their appearance very soon. She's talking all the time and every once in awhile there is such clarity in the things she says: Dadda, Daddy, gato, Momma. She mimics sounds and gestures too, waving and clapping are some of her favs. Next on the to do list is planning her 1st Birthday party! Yay! :)
