We are one week into this one year old thing. Audrey has successfully moved to whole milk, but we are working on the cup vs. the bottle. Amazing how with that first child, I was so focused about getting her where she needed to be at the right time. This time the bottle is so easy, so why sit there with her forcing the cup? She has always been a good sleeper and continues to do about 11-12 hours at night and still takes 2 naps a day. She loves to eat. I can spend 5 minutes cutting up green beans, chicken, and some fruit and put it on her plate thinking – “ok, that will last for a bit, I will get my lunch now. ” Nope. This girl can scarf it down. She is in the 25% weight, which I will totally take, and she is off the chart in height. She is over 2 inches taller than Alyssa or Megan at one year. She can stand on her own from the floor and takes a few steps, but prefers to crawl still. Again… first kid I would have cared. And I had to stretch the truth when they asked me if she can say two words. Come on,  two words… surely she can say two words… Dada and… Does va-va count? She is a joy. She is happy. She is funny. She copies my laugh, she roars like a tiger. She gives open-mouthed kisses, and loves LOVES her stuffed bunny. I think this is the high life. These next months are my favorite and I hope I can truly enjoy them for what they are.

We had a little party for Audrey last week and here are some pics from the occasion. Like I said, she likes to eat!
