What a Man

I must admit I have quite a man.

He made his weekly trip to Home Depot 30 minutes away to restock on his building supplies (more later on his amazing house renovation job), and he came back with these beautiful new shoes for me!
I had commented on maybe getting new tennis shoes a little while ago, so he made a special trip to the Brownwood Mall (which is a "trip" in itself) to find some for me. He even opened up a Bealls card to get a percentage off! What a sweet surprise it was!

Josh is the greatest daddy. Audrey adores him and puckers up for a kiss just at the mention of his name. And I heard him singing Backyardigans to her yesterday :) which made her day...and mine!

Plus, I think he is quite the looker.

A Little Bit of Audrey for You

Since Audrey is down for her first nap already (it is 7:30 in the morning if that tells you anything about how long we have already been up), I thought I would think about how special she is and write about a few things she has been up to lately.

She has become a BIG kisser. She puckers up to anyone and anything she likes: the boys I keep, cousin Layton, anyone else in the family, any baby living or fake, animals, random people in the grocery store that smile at her. She usually smacks and then says "Ah." She has discovered her nostrils, but she actually does not pick her nose. Here she is saying, "Shhh" because I told her the baby is sleeping. So she does this anytime she hears "baby" and "sleeping" now...after she first tries to kiss them, of course.

She is fanatic over books. If there is a book within 20 feet of her, you can bet she will call it out to you "Boo" and expect you to read it.

She has become a little monkey. She is very agile in her walking now...and climbing. She is very proud of herself when she gets in her chairs. She still needs work on her dismount, though.

More climbing...She is going to be a great helper SOMEDAY :) No, she already really likes to help. She picks things up for me and tells me thank you--"da do".

She loves many girly things! And that is fine as long as she has a tough streak to her :)

I am loving her language which grows more and more each day. Here are some things she says: daddy--dada

mama--mama, sometimes nana

Papa--pa-pa

dog--dada

puppy--papa

kitty--didi

hello--lllllll

Layton, Caden, Trey--daden

go outside--GO!

bye bye--bye bye

sock--ck

cookie (for Cookie Monster)--cooka

Elmo--Emo

movie--moomoo

cow says--boo

sheep says--boo

puppy says--uh-uh

duck--du

bite-bi

mmm--MMM!

milk--ma

bath--baba

bird--bu

ball--ball ball

night night--ni ni

thank you--da do

All for now...naptime is over!
