Happy Birthday Audrey!

Happy Birthday to my baby! She is now a big 2 year old!
Where to start...
- She has such a personality...she is hilarious!
- She talks all the time! Full conversations about such random, but relevant stuff...it amazes me!
- She is a wonderful big sister to Natalie and absolutely LOVES her. She just doesn't say it, but you can see it in her eyes when she talks about her or to her.
- She loves to sing. She learns songs so fast and we sing all the time. Sometimes in the car we will listen to what she wants to..."her songs" and half way through the song she will tell me to stop so that she can sing by herself. I love having a singing partner.
- She takes 2 to 4 hour naps (with no fights) and goes to bed around 8:30pm (with no trouble) and sleeps till around 8am.
- She is still in her crib...she has made no attempt to climb out so we are enjoying it while it lasts!
- She loves to eat....anything! When she is hungry she will tell me "Mommy, I need something." I will answer, "Honey, what do you need?" She answers with, "Something I like!" ha! Which is everything!
- She loves to cook! She asks to watching cooking on TV, so I put on the Food Network sometimes and let her watch...plus it gives me a break from Nick Jr!
- She loves music and dancing! She can bust a move and watch out she will point you out and make you dance with her!
- She loves going to school and the nursery at church. She walks off without even looking back!
- She is very loving and loves hugs, kisses and cuddling.
- She loves reading, we read all day long and every night before bed.
- She prays before she eats (I even caught her teaching Natalie how to pray) and before bed (most of the time during her bath!) "God is good, God is great, Thank you God for ______. Aaaaamen!" I love it!
I could go on and on...
Stats:
She weighs 33lbs (95th percentile)
She is 35" tall (95th percentile)
I love you Audrey! I love you more than you will ever know. I can't wait to get you out of bed in the morning and to start talking to you about how you slept and our plans for the day. I love doing projects with you, going running with you, cooking with you or just sitting on the couch and reading to you! I love the things you say and how thoughtful you are. I love the little person you are becoming! You amaze me and melt my heart everyday! I look at you and wonder how I can love you more than I did the day before! Happy Birthday Pumpkin!
Here are some pictures from her birthday!

Swimming with Pumpkin Head

Audrey has been stealing the dogs bed and calling it her swimming pool lately. She carries it around the house and then drops it and counts to three and jumps in like she is jumping into a pool. Well the other morning she grabbed "Mr. Pumpkin Head," as we call him, and said that she was going swimming with him. So here she is...swimming with Mr. Pumpkin Head!

A Visit from Poppy

Yay! Audrey was so excited to have her Poppy visit...we had a great weekend with him. Here are a couple pictures...
Natalie, Poppy and Audrey

We decided to go and have some fun with Poppy at Chuck E. Cheese. Poppy and Aunt Air played for hours and Audrey LOVED it!
Natalie on the other hand pretty much slept the whole time!
Poppy brought a couple books for Audrey and every night for about two weeks after he left at bedtime she would pick out the books she wanted me to read her and they were always the books, as she would say, "books Poppy bought me." It was so sweet!
