The Many Faces of Audrey

Audrey likes to make many different faces. Here are a few...

The concentrating face...or the mischevious face...

The "I know I'm cute" face...
The gasp...

or

surprise...

Hey you!

Preciousness...

the cheeks you just want to kiss!...

And when I went into her room today to check on her while she was playing, this is what I found...

She just decided to lay down, enjoy the relaxing music, and read for awhile.

What a doll!

Kisses

Audrey is now intentionally giving us kisses. When we say "give me kisses" she leans into us with her mouth wide open and says aahhh and stays there for awhile. So precious! Our big girl.

Just Playing...

So Audrey is becoming WAY more busy these days! She is loving to play, make silly faces, silly sounds...something new everyday. Lately I have been putting her in her room, turning on some music and letting her play by herself. Every few minutes I stick my head in to make sure all is well and this is what I saw one day...

She loves to play at the mirror.

Boy, this is fun!
AND, this weekend she got to swing for the first time at Gran and Grandpa's. This is sort of a family tradition. Cousins Cate, Caroline and Cole LOVED to swing at Gran and Grandpa's. And, what do you know, Audrey loves it too...






Boy, do we have fun times to look forward to! I can just hear it now "swing me Mommy! Swing me!"

Christmas at Gran and Grandpa's

Look what we found in Audrey's stocking at Gran and Granpa's! A sweet little girl!
(Gran made her the stocking, isn't it great? It has Audrey's name on it.)
Looks like we're pulling out a baby doll doesn't it?
And this is the face that she is making so often now...

Aunt Sarah and Uncle Eddie gave Audrey these books. They are family favorites.






Forget the toys...I like this shoestring! ...And Caroline's hat.




Caroline gave me a telephone.
And we even had our very own Christmas carolers. They sang Silent Night with Cate on the piano, Caroline on guitar, Eddie on mandolin, Sarah singing...and Cole whistling.





Mommy and Aunt Sarah got some pretty bracelets.

And I got a fun book too.
Don't forget my hammer. It makes a funny noise. I like it alot!

Aren't my cousins pretty? I hope I can grow up to be just like them!

I loved pulling presents from my stocking. It was so much fun to see what surprises were inside.

Cate gave me this funny pig.

I had such a good time playing with all of my toys!
Now, don't be worried by my ugly ole t-shirt. Aunt sarah snuck it on me when mommy and daddy weren't looking. Granpa says I am going to wear it when mommy and daddy aren't here. But even I know better than that! I am a Red Sox girl through and through!

Argh matey! I'm a Christmas pirate!

Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho!
